Weight Check Up

Yesterday we went to the doctor for Mary-Michael's weight check up since she was in the 24th percentile at her 4 month check up. She weighed in at 14 lbs 3.5 ounces, which moved her up to the 29th percentile - woohoo! The doc had no concerns, so that is good. We were reminded to be grateful for her and her good health yesterday as we heard about a couple with a son (less than a year old) given just weeks left to live and a friend of a friend who delivered a baby boy that lived for only an hour and half yesterday before he went to be with Jesus. I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak these families are experiencing. It is terrifying and humbling at the same time. May we all be grateful for the time we have and the good health we've been given today.
