Yesterday I told Dave that I am pretty sure that God gave tiny babies the ability to scream at ear-shattering decibels so that they would survive. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t be fed often enough. Cause not too many parents would get up every 2-3 hours and feed a silent little being. Nope, it takes loud wailing to jolt me out of bed at 2am!
All that to say that Hope is a fairly mellow baby. I suspect we are much mellower parents this time around too. That is a good thing.
I’m trying to soak in this newborn phase. It goes by so fast.
I’m loving the little duckie footed sleepers.

Poor Carmen has pink eye. We have no earthly idea how she got it. None of us have pink eye…yet. Yesterday, Carmen had a 101 degree fever and thick, yellow secretions. I suspect she has another respiratory infection so I will call her Hospice nurse this morning. Hopefully we can get an antibiotic to help her. Please pray that we get all of this under control fast!
Thanks to Lekesia for the GIANT lasagna and to Susan for the pizza!
Oh those sweet little tootsies! I remember holding feet that size and just kissing them so cuddily. Precious.
Praying for Carmen. May medications and treatments clear the way for God’s healing. Peace and comfort for you all.
Nice duckies Hope! I hope and I’m praying that your sister Carmen will be doing much better very soon. Hi Lauren!
Love,
Texas Granddad
I love the duckie feet! My favorite picture of Juan Carlos was taken on our visit trip. He is wearing duckie-footed pajamas.
Is Carmen’s pink eye actually pink eye or a back up of secretions? Juan Carlos got a nasty sinus/upper respiratory infection last year and his eyes also got infected from the backed up secretions. Not sure that it is any better than actual pink eye but at least it was not contagious. I will pray for Carmen.
Interesting you should mention this…Carmen’s doctor commented yesterday that the respiratory infection is related to the eye infection. So, perhaps it isn’t pink eye!
Love the baby jammies….the way her little legs splay out like that…too cute!
