YUMMY!!!!

Last night I did not post. Sorry. The day for Reece was going well. We had only a short time with him because Ben had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. (It went well...just a check up.) Reece had fun cuddling with mommy, daddy, Grandma Grace, and Maga. He also was visited by Pastor Mark and Super Aunt Mary. I'd say the funny part was after Pastor Mark said a blessing upon Reece, he gave the cutest little smirk as though he knew Jesus was watching over him and he liked the blessing. Too cute!

But, the BIG NEWS OF THE DAY!!!!!!! is... Reece is able to eat! We were surprised too! But, the doctor's gave the go ahead at 2 PM and he chugged down his first 3 cc's soooooo quickly I think he would like to have had more. What a great day for him! Now, we get to see how his body handles being fed. It makes a mommy happy to see her pumping is paying off and watch her son take in his first foods in a while. Please pray for the rest of today: that he may continue to handle the feedings (although they are very small) and stay comfortable. The assumption from the doctors is that it'll probably not get absorbed very much at first. I'm hoping for Reece to defy these odds and digest just fine. God has a plan for Reece and we love watching as He works in Reece's life a little more each day. Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers. We are calling it an early night in order to spend time with Ben and our friends who are bringing us a meal. You are all a blessing to our family.
