getting old



sorry for the delay in posting. we've been overwhelmingly busy. thank you for your patience. conley has been busy too: growing, being cute, and the like. i got to hold him again today on my chest, skin to skin. a great experience until i felt like he was slipping off me, my arm started to fall asleep and i began to feel something i don't normally feel: nervousness. i'm not a nervous person by nature (i have plenty of other issues, though, trust me). i'm a person who is over-confident and feels he can handle everything. that feeling that something i hold so dear might be in jeopardy or that i'm actually not capable of rectifying a potential problem is horrid. i don't like it. ready for him to come home. so many lessons i'd rather not learn, however, Someone must know me better than i do myself. conley is about 3lbs. 11oz. still working on maturing those lungs. his eye exam wednesday showed he had some mild retina damage which he could just grow out of or might require a laser surgery. please pray for the former. one day at a time.
-love-

How WONDERFUL to hear about Conley's progress. What a BIG boy he is getting to be. It won't be long now and y'all will be home together. Continue to trust that God does know us better than we know ourselves and Praise God HE is in control....Love from the south-Jan and Al
