Can you believe it Nathanael is 5 weeks old. Time flies when you are sleep deprived, but very blessed! Nathanael was 7 lbs when we left the hospital 4 weeks ago, and now he is 10 lbs 2 oz - big boy! He is doing great and growing big. Nathan is starting to hold his head up for short periods of time and he is also cooing a bunch! He has a beautiful smile, and gorgeous eyes. Rod says to me, he is only a few weeks old and already a mama's boy. He melts into your arms and snuggles into your chest - I love it! Those characteristics make it worth getting up at night!Recently I was reading the story of Samuel and Hannah - and she makes a statement in the Old testament that states, "For this child, I prayed." It's breath taking to look at our babies and know that both of them our amazing miracles of our AMAZING GOD who hears our cries and answers our prayers! We dedicated Nathanael on July 13 and as we stood there both Rod and I said, "We are privileged that God gave him to us to take care of for such a time as this." God is good and we are thankful for His blessings!
