So Finley has now eaten two full feedings today! YAY! It took her a long time (20-25 minutes) but she did it! She also stayed awake for an hour and a half straight right after eating so that is awesome too!
So during this whole process there has been a worship song that has just hit home for me. We sang it at church for the first time about a month ago and it really spoke to me so I found it on itunes and had been listening to it alot. The night after my water broke, I was sitting in my hospital bed just feeling crappy and It came on my ipod and the words were just so fitting for the situation we were in. I totally lost it that night and ever since I can't not cry when I listen to it.. oh the joys of pregnancy hormones :)
I thought I would share it with you as it has impacted me greatly.
It is by The Desperation Band and it is called "Rescue". You can search for it on Youtube and listen to it, but here are the lyrics. It amazes me how God can place things like this in our lives to bring us closer to him.. certainly has worked for me.
RESCUE-
You are the source of the life
I can’t be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of You
I need You Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go
There’s no other name by
Which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You

I also love that song. I had heard it on the radio and was so excited when we sang it at CTK. It is absolutely AMAZING how God moves.
I am so excited to hear about Finley's eating today. How encouraging that must be!! I would LOVE to come visit you but would have to bring my 2 along and I'm sure that would just add stress. Praying for ya, and please let me know how I can be of help!
It was wonderful to meet Finley in person yesterday. Just keep hanging on to Jesus and follow Him as the song says. I will keep praying that Finley keeps growing and progressing this weekend so she can come home next week. Blessings to you all!

So special! I was thinking of you and all those hormones! They are absolutely crazy. But how cool that God gave them to us for a reason, and he gives us things like this song to survive them, too!
I am SO glad your girl is doing so well!
Hang in there!

Hi Chantel,
I've been thinking about you guys lately. Glad to see Finley is doing so well and that her energy is increasing. She is so adorable. I work in the NICU in Abbotsford and realize how frustrating it can be with all the different nurses. Hope you've been able to get some rest. Take care.
