Makaila has been home for two days now. Graham and I picked her up from the hospital on Thursday afternoon while Grandma stayed home with Isaiah. We weren't sure how Isaiah would respond to having a little baby around, but he's done very well. He welcomed Makaila home by meeting her on the stairs with a smile on his face and a ball in his hand saying "HI!!!" (in an extremely loud voice). He was eager to share his ball with her and place it in her infant car seat. Amazingly. he seemed to know what to do around her (i.e. pat her head and give her kissess). it was very special watching him interact with her. He even cooperated by partcipating in a fairly lengthy photo shoot.
The community health nurse visited today to check up on things and weigh Makaila. When she left the hospital two days ago, she weighed 8.2 lbs. Now, however, she weighs a whopping 8.6 lbs. I was surprised to hear that she is surpassing most new born babies in terms of average daily weight gain.
Faith continues to do well in the hospital. I've only been to visit her once since Makaila has been home. Tonight my mom decided to go so that I could have a night off to do a few things We've been told that it won't be much longer until she'll be ready to come home.
Well...I'm off to bed! Goodnight!

I'm so happy to "hear" how great the girls are doing. I told my friends back home that Makaila went home and everyone was really excited. We pray for you constantly.
