Well, if any of you wondered if Ryder had big genes in that little body, wonder no more. Big Ryder gained almost 3 ounces since yesterday. That means that he is now 3 pounds 15.2 ounces. You're right. That's almost one pound in less than 3 weeks!
Ryder is doing very well in almost everything. We can see this when we hold him, when we see him stretch, yawn, even poop on momma. The problem is that when we are away from him all we can seem to think of is tomorrow's news. Is it going to be hard to hear or exciting? We want to see our boy healthy.What we want though could be different than what God wants. We are trying so hard to believe that whatever happens God is doing His best for us, Ryder and Jesus' name. We know that this is true and it's exactly what God's word says, but it’s very hard to live out.
More than anything we want to see God glorified in our son. The tension is to want Him glorified and at the same time have very specific requests that we are begging God to do. Whatever the answer is, I’m sure God is going to teach us. What we need form you, our faithful and loving friends, is to ask God to grant us peace and trust.Pray that our big man continues to grow and continues to amaze our doctors.
I just want to hold that baby. He is such a blessing and a testimony of God's grace. Thank you Jesus for loving parents and doctors who diligently work to help baby Ryder.
