Sugar and Spice

At 27 weeks pregnant, my friend was flown to a hospital and told they were going to have to deliver her baby the next morning. 27 weeks! Can you imagine? Through God's miracle, they were able to wait 3 more weeks and delivered her at 30 weeks, 10 weeks early.  She weighed 1 lb 12 oz. They then had to stay in the hospital for a couple months. Now, 2 months old (born 1 wk after Jack), she still weighs under 5 lbs (Jack weighs over 11 lbs). I'm happy to report that she's doing great. My friend asked me to take pictures of her and I was delighted. HAIR BOWS!! FLOWERS!!  PINK!!
She was stubborn. Didn't want to stay asleep. I'm betting she took a good nap afterwards, though.
Does this one remind you of Little House?




I love this pose of her on the Bible. I didn't notice when I took the picture, but read the commentary above the Scripture verse. Knowing what a miracle she is, it teared me up.

A crocheted dress and matching hat! Makes my ovaries ache. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the whole dress. But too many dresses and not enough sleeping. We had to move on.

a tutu? You know I have 4 boys, right?

Mom trying to get her back to sleep. Hee hee


I brought my salad bowl. I wondered if she'd fit. She did. Barely.
