Playing Babies with Hannah

Today was a fun day and a busy day!  We did what we could for school.  I did what I usually did for Hannah.  Getting up every 3 hours to feed and pump milk for Hannah.  That left me with an hour and half of sleep that is if Hannah would go to sleep right away.  I would sleep a bit longer if I helped with my planning the day with Hannah and our outings.  Like going to feeding appointments.  I want to make sure Hannah has been fed before or that we will be able to get home on time to feed Hannah. 

Anyway today we had Hannah's feeding therapy, a doctor check up for Sam, and a skin/wart appointment for Cassie and Valerie.  So today I made sure I could plan the times for feed Hannah and pump for her during this day of appointments.  We went to Hannah's feeding appointment.  She did nothing.  She was too tired!  The therapist even brought in another lady to help but Hannah just slept!  I think she was too tired from Sunday being at church then grandmas house.  She must have been worn out.  We left the feeding appointment and headed right away to the skin appointment. Valerie and Cassie has some warts we are working on getting taken off.  It was so nice to introduce Hannah to their skin doctor.  The warts are actually going away!  We sat quietly in the office and watched Valerie and Cassie get their warts worked on.  Each of the children held Hannah in the doctors office.  Sam even came along.  Martin did not he had to work.  After this appointment we headed to Sam's appointment.  I had the younger kids stay in the van with Cassie so Sam had privacy.  Hannah came along though.  Dr. Levine was happy to see Hannah and Sam was doing good and we are happy. 

When we got home I fed Hannah right away.  It is just more comfortable for me to feed Hannah and me pump.  Sometime lately Hannah cries at first when I start feeding her.  I just bounce her until she stops crying.  Then I try to get her to suck on the pacifier with breast milk.  She just is not really interested in the pacifier.  I am a bit disappointed because her interest in sucking would help her to be able to be fed by mouth.  Oh well,  I will do whatever I need to help Hannah! 

In the afternoon after we got home from the Doctors and after feeding, the girls played babies with Hannah.  Hannah was the doll!  It was so cute to see her in the play baby bed.  The girls had a great time and Hannah was a great live dolly!  I love my girls want to play with their baby sister.  I trust them 100% to be careful with her.  I'm glad they have the memory of playing babies with Hannah!

Proverbs 31:10-31
  10 Who[b] can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29“ Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Love, Sandi Kwant (Hannah's mommy)
