Little celebrations!!

Arden turned four weeks old yesterday!! And Tandy and I celebrated being our 113th month anniversary!! ‘Twas a big day 🤗. To commemorate the special occasions, we decided to go to our local library and get Arden her library card! It was such a fun outing. Here are the three books we came back with.

This little kiddo is now eating very well, and it really feels like she is eating all the time. She refuses to be left alone for more than a few minutes when she is not eating, but since she’s so cute I am not minding having her in my arms all day.

Here is to many more little celebrations together. I am very grateful for everyone who has helped us get here, and who helped us not just survive, but dare I say, thrive. Our families and friends loved on us by generously giving their words of encouragement, time and resources, and also passed down all their wisdom and used baby things that I never knew I needed. Neighbours and people I’ve never met from church dropped off food as part of a meal train. Medical providers have been gentle and meticulous in their care, and often spend more than 30mins with us at each visit (unheard of). And most excitingly, I feel like we are discovering a tribe of mothers (including friends who are mothers who I feel I understand more deeply now) who have been so encouraging of our journey, and who have also provided community, support and breast milk (!).

Tandy and I recently watched a video of Arden coming out of my body. Wow. That is literally all I can say about that right now. Ping us if you want to see it.
