just kidding


so, right before we left the hospital, i got a phone call on my cell from the nurse (who didn't realize i was sitting across the hall). things quieted down in the NICU and malachi wasn't too restless so bethany suited back up and went it. she was so blessed to be able to hold her baby. he liked it too. although they had separated him from his little house, it's continuous warmth, and the routine he's known for months, the moment he was skin to skin with his mom, his vitals signs shot right up. he was certainly happy, longing for the place he really belonged. i think we feel the same way with regard to our Father sometimes. anyway, thanks for praying. he's continuing to do well, and we're praying he stays strong and keeps on keeping on. one day at a time.
-love-
p.s. conley now weighs... two pounds!!
