Home Sweet Home
Lois and Bethany were discharged from the hospital this morning. They stayed one extra evening to ensure Bethany’s blood glucose levels remained consistent (which they did), in light of her low birth weight (SGA – “small for gestational age”). Here’s a photo that illustrates how tiny she is, holding my left pinky finger:

We are so grateful for the support of friends, and for the Lord’s mercies in answering so many of our prayers for both Lois and Bethany’s well-being.
Here’s her big sisters cradling her this morning at the hospital:
And a photo of our big happy family heading home!
And Lois cheerfully nursing Bethany for the first time at home:
And Bethany tucked cozy in her little bassinet:
