Eight Months

I can't believe it has been eight months! When the doctor placed her in my arms eight months ago it was love at first sight. Life seems to be harder and more complicated with her but the joy she brings outweighs the challenges.

Kinsley had her wellness appointment today and here are her stats...

Weight 16.8 pounds- 22nd percentile
Height 26 1/4 inches- 17th percentile
Head Circumference 17 inches- 33rd percentile

This is how Eric feeds her- when I do it she is much cleaner.

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
