Auntie Kim, we love you!
Auntie Kim is a delight to have in our family! She is full of enthusiasm, authenticity, and compassion. She loves both of our children so well, and is so excellent with them! I love this photo...she engages with all that she meets so intently.
Abigail update
Abigail is doing much better. We take her to our doctor next Monday to check on her progress. I can tell she is growing and seems to be thriving more! YAY! Its been challenging having her at work with me for many reasons, also a great blessing. I'm so thankful to have such an understanding workplace!
Our main concern was her vocalization. Around 3 months she started doing the typical cooing/aahing. When I started back to work, she stopped completely. Our doctor was concerned, as were we. I did my best to work with her and encourage her speech. Last week at church, we had one of the pastors pray for her. This past Saturday night while visiting my parents, it was as if a switch went on and she began talking again, and hasn't stopped! We are overjoyed, Praise God! It is music to our ears...

Drama
I went to the pediatrician today for Abigail's 4 month check-up. We have been worried about her on the days I work as she has refused the bottle up until now. She will take maybe 2 oz a day from a spoon or a cup with much coaxing (and then nurse all night when I return). Believe me when I say we have tried everything. My nanny is great, she has been trying, too.
Today we learned that she is gaining weight, but not enough. My doctor told me that I either need to stop working or figure out a way to feed her on my work days (i.e. bring her to work). I spoke with my boss, who is AMAZING and incredibly flexible. She is willing to let me try bringing her to work. So...we're going to give it a try starting tomorrow and Wednesday. For those of you readers who pray, please pray. Pray that she will eventually learn to take a bottle and that we can figure this out. Also, pray that she will sleep at my workplace. She will have her own room (my office) which is quiet. I'm not quite sure how I am going to get any work done...I'm SO BLESSED to have such an amazing boss.
