24 Jan Thank You Pastor Gary!
I'm sitting here with Tiffany and Makoa and I am thankful. The nurses were able to find a suitable vein in his hand so we haven't had to poke him in his head yet. Praise God! We also made it to church this morning...

It's officially been two weeks since we had Makoa and what and improvement we've seen in that time. Tomorrow is his actual due-date, and he's looking more put-together everyday. Every time we hold him he's getting stronger, feeding longer, and showing us his determination. We...
