babies in Africa
“Too much of a good thing can be . . . “
I kept trying to look at what word came next but it was being hidden by baby Heather in her arms . . . not to mention that it was stretched all the way across her girlie-goods and I didn’t want it to seem like I was staring straight at her girlie-goods.
Eventually, I read it, though. It said,
“Wonderful!’
Couldn’t agree more.
Within the span of a day, I got to love on 5 babies: Brian, Gershon, Patience, Praise & Heather. Too much of a good thing can be . . . wonderful. Baby Brian had come for a visit. I was heading out so I decided to take him with me (and his mom, of course.) We took off and went and saw Baby Gershon first who was born over a month early on Wednesday but is doing well. He only weighs 4 lbs-something but he’s strong. They didn’t even keep him a day in the hospital. Sent him straight home with Mom (Esther.) Baby Gershon was named after Rick Gershon who came here in January - - - and also from the Bible --- the Gershon tribe who was a son of Levi and served God faithfully.
Then I went next door to see Patience & Praise (identical twin girls) who are 5 weeks old and MORE than adorable. Their daddy, Jehosophat, serves in a pastoral fashion to the Legacy members. They also care for Mercy, who was orphaned. IDENTICAL TWINS -- how much better can it get then that? They were so adorable and they’ll have so much fun growing up together. Then ----- I had to take some sweet frilly dresses over to baby Heather, my namesake. And if I don’t say so myself --- the girl has got it goin’ on. She’s a sweetie. She’s around 3 weeks old now. Aaaaahhhhhhhh.
Catherine was released from the hospital today too after having her appendix removed on Monday and I saw her and she looked really, really good! Yay! It was great to see her looking so strong. Last week I didn’t see how she could make it through the night, she was so weak and sick. But now she has her sparkle back! And strength! Praise God!
Too much of a good thing can be . . . wonderful!
