EVERY OUNCE COUNTS!

YUP! You guessed right. We have been here since Tuesday and today was the first day that the scales showed a weight gain.  9 lbs 15 oz. There's a baby next door who
is a month old and weighs 10 lbs. It was a stark reminder of how far we have to go. Phoebe will be 7 months old on the 30th. Hard to believe!
The mother spoke with Michelle for a while and heard Phoebe's story and later suggested we read Psalm 121.  Maybe we can let her hear Herman's version of 121.
My Mom also commented on one of the posts and suggested Psalm 121 - so perhaps we should all read it together.
Here's the Psalm.  Very comforting.

Psalm 121

 A song of ascents.

1I lift up my eyes to the hills—

where does my help come from?

2My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

3He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;

4indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

5The Lord watches over you—

the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

6the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

7The Lord will keep you from all harm—

he will watch over your life;

8the Lord will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.
