So are you going to believe me if I tell you that JULYA NURSED CELIA TONIGHT?! Well, she did and we are so excited that this process has begun. It wasn't easy and it wore her out, but she did manage to get a couple of gulps down! We are so grateful for these baby-steps :) Way to go Julya and Celia!!! Please keep mama and her baby in your prayers to God as they try to figure out breast-feeding (a prayer that would be beneficial for all new mamas). Here are some pictures from today:
Daddy cuddles his tiny fighter.
Celia looking cute (as usual) and chubby!!! Praise the Lord!!!
A beautiful pic of mama and baby!
Shout for joy, you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;
burst into song, you mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me.”
the Lord has forgotten me.”
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!

Tears of joy are flowing!
