Our 2nd Doctor Visit (by Amanda)

I am so excited to be writing this entry today, I know it has been a long time, but with Hannah needing so much it is hard to find the time. Today Thom and I went to the doctor and the girls were weighed. They both gained weight - Miriam more than Hannah, but Hannah has obviously improved a lot. It is an answer to the prayers of many. I have been so concerned about her and have been daily at the throne of God asking for him to work in her little body and He has. Each day she seems to be more alert and her cry gets louder and stronger. She moves around more and loves to cuddle like Miriam. We are so blessed by these little girls and God has continued to bless us with them gaining weight and strength. We still have a long path to travel and soon we should be getting some soy formula to aid little Hannah in her growth. Thank all of you who have shown your support and love for these beautiful girls by praying with us and encouraging us with little notes.
For those who like numbers here is what we were told today:
Hannah has gained about a pound and a half and is up to 5 lbs, 8 oz. Miriam gained about the same amount and is up to 7 lbs, 3 oz. It's really remarkable considering all the problems they've had plus the fact that they're still about 3 1/2 weeks shy of being full term babies (they were born July 10th, about 9 weeks early).
