This morning started out pretty rough. Ainsley woke up with a croup cough. So we decided to stay put at the hotel and had a free day today, to give her a break. But as the day went on, things became increasingly better! She ate almost two jars of babyfood! If you could have been here 2 days or even a day ago, she was adamant about not eating and I would have never guessed that she would be eating anything other than formula, so this was just amazing to see! Thank you Lord, is all I could say! We are heading in the right direction. We also tried a different way for her to drink her formula with a squeeze bottle that seemed to be less frustrating for her. After a good nap for Ainsley, we went to the pool and were able to visit with a couple other adoptive families that we have met here. Ainsley enjoyed the water and even had a few smiles!
"See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the desert."
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the desert."
Isaiah 43:19
