Back to the Routine...

Little Natalie is doing very well. She seems to be recovered from RSV. I have not heard her cough in the last two days, and she is breathing very well. We are still waiting for her oxygen levels to be tested to see if we can take her off the oxygen. I think there has been a miscommunication between the doctor's office and the oxygen company, so we wait.

We have tried to get back into a routine this week. We have resumed schooling and daily chores as best we can. It has been a bit difficult as it takes some adjustment to our schedule. I used to be able to finish school with Cayleigh before lunch, but that has not happened this week. I know that it will take some time to rework our schedule and create a new routine, but I am impatient! Thankfully, Natalie has been sleeping well. She usually has a long stretch of four to six hours between feedings at night which has allowed me to get some good sleep. She doesn't cry much and she seems to be a very content baby...so far. She might start crying more when we move her into her crib at night. I was not comfortable with her sleeping by herself in another room when she was sick, so she has been sleeping in our room.

We are all already completely in love with little Natalie. We are enjoying her so much, and are very thankful that God has sent her into our family. We are also grateful for our friends and church family. So many have gone out of their way to help us in the last few weeks. Thank you to all who have helped us with meals, cleaning, watching the girls, and most of all, thank you for your prayers.
