Tonight we Sleep!

We have exciting news! We have people to do in-home respite now! Starting tonight, someone will take care of Rachel 5 nights a week.  I am so excited.  Last night was awful.  Rachel has a bad cold and was awake and unhappy for most of the night.  Dave was awake till 4:30 with her and I took over then.  Poor little girl.  It is really tough to watch her try to drink and cough and cry.  She is so miserable. 


Do you want to know something incredibly beautiful though?  One of our new Respite workers had a dream about Rachel before she heard about her!  She had dreamt she was holding a baby - her husband said that she never dreams about babies.  A day or two later they were over at our friend's place.   Our pastor friend told them about our need for respite and right away she sensed that Rachel was the baby she had dreamt about.  I nearly cried when I heard that.  Thank-you God! No matter how long they decide to work for us, we know that they are an answer to prayer.

Last night Ethan asked to hold Rachel before going to bed.  I just had to take this picture.

I am noticing that it is getting more difficult to carry Rachel around...and she does SO love to be held alot.  I don't think she is that much heavier, but she has grown alot in length and she doesn't hold her head up.  Speaking of growing longer, I have a question for my Calgary friends.  Does anyone have Girl newborn/ 0-3 month sleepers that I can borrow? (She doesn't grow that fast so we'll probably have them for awhile) I borrowed alot for Abigail so I don't have much under 6 months.  It would be best if you were not expecting to use them again.  I will try my best to keep them in great shape, but you know how things play out in real life.  Thank-you:)
