Chosen for a reason...

Baby Jay took her first shots like a pro yesterday!  She cried for about 5 seconds and that was it.  She slept most of the day after her shots but I don't think they bothered her.  She weighs 5.5 lbs!  It's still not her birth weight but at least it's coming up and moving into the right direction.  The clinic also called when I got home and the doctor wants to start Jay on RSV shots in October just as a precaution since she's going to be starting daycare.  I'm so glad that they've finally given her some value and they're finally thinking about her future that I feel confident that she will have.  Today we finished her enrollment with Milestones.  I feel really good about her starting on Monday, plus there's a lady from our church that volunteers in her room.  I'm going to miss her and it will definitely be hard to leave her in someone else's comfort.  I'm so use to having her in the comfort of our home so this will be totally different but it will be a hurdle that I know we'll get over.  We've made the big decision to remove her DNR that we signed when she was born.  God has shown us His tremendous power day by day so we feel that it is no longer needed and now we know that she is definitely here for His purpose.  We do not want to get in His way as we often do.  Our purpose on this earth is to bring Him Glory and it is our prayer that we don't get sidetracked by life and miss that purpose.  To hear Nurse Charlie make that call to the doctor to remove the DNR was a huge relief and felt so wonderful. We have great peace about it so we know in our hearts that it was the right thing to do.  We are continuing to speak great things over Baby Jay.  It's been a wonderful week with Raghan starting school and tying up loose ends.  Braylan will start preschool next week.  We are expecting awesome and powerful things to happen in the days and weeks ahead with all of our family.  I know His Glory will definitely come forth!  We trust Him, He chose us.  We love Him, He loves us.  God is good.
