Just testing out blogging from my phone. Abby is over 9 pounds now. Almost to Mackenzie's birth weight.

Focusing on the Blessing

Abigail has eczema on her eyelids. She has also developed reflux and is on some new meds for that. In reading about what I can do to help her I am about to embark on a few weeks of serious diet elimination. Taking out milk, soy, wheat and eggs. I have been going without milk for more than a week and I am a big milk drinker. It has been easy to get discouraged in the face of readjusting my life in this way, but I am thankful I have options and help. A few truths I cling to is that this too shall pass, and that all is permissible, but not necessarily beneficial. I can choose to eat any of these things whenever I want. I just have to be prepared to reap the problems- screaming baby with eczema all over.

Other than the things above Abby is doing great. She is over 8 and 1/2 pounds. She has had some alarms on the monitor, but we are noting that most of them are false alarms. I took a bunch of pics and will try to get them uploaded quickly.

Samantha and Mackenzie are doing great.

Please pray that I will be able to handle the changes in my diet with ease. Also that I will get enough rest daily. Pray for Jeff- he has to deal with me going through this big change in routine. Thank you for your prayers.
