Well, we've brought the baby home the other day and had a couple of those "sleepless nights". Honestly, it's not that bad at all. Harley's actually pretty quiet and when she does cry, she's still pretty quiet. I was telling some coworkers today about how she's already making progress, which is kind of funny to them because I'm trying to notice every little thing. Only a few days old and she's already trying to actually hold her bottle (Nola went with bottle feeding btw); of course it's too heavy for her, but she's putting her hands around it trying to hold it up. She can also take her mittens and hat off and lift her head a little. That might not sound like much to most people, but since we know now the truth on what God has planned for mankind, the firsts and beginnings are so fun to watch. It's a lot like watching a beautiful flower grow. You know it's going to be so amazing to look at when it's fully grown, so when you notice a tiny sprout come out of the ground, it makes you anticipate the end result so much more. So with her being in the world for only a few days, we know of a couple preferences Harley already has: She eats way too fast, she likes sleeping on her stomach when we're holding her (don't think we put her on her face by herself ), and she only burps when we change her position. Now, how could ANYONE...EVER...think that God predestined, or allows, or whetever....anyone to be condemned to a hellhole of torture forever, when He even starts them off as being the most beautiful and precious things that we could ever hope to see in this life? Remember everything we see is a shadow. Even a "shadow" is a shadow of what a shadow is spiritually, if you can follow that. What is an infant child a shadow of? Here's a hint: Without us, they can do nothing.

Thank you for sharing Beau. Your post reminded me of the first time I saw my son. The experience of love went so deep and it united with the wonder that God too, loves us! That moment was without doubt, the deepest love I have ever felt.
Peace to you and your precious family

Hi Beau,
That was great to hear about your first few days with Harley. Isn't God so great, He puts these helpless precious little people in our care and gives us the love we need to do everything it takes to make sure they have all they need.
I have 3 daughters and have a boundless love for each one of them. It is so incredible to experience this kind of love. Now they are starting to leave home :-\ You are right to Cherish every moment you have with them, they are babies for such a short time.
mercy, peace and love
Kat

Lastnight was amazing! Harley's only a week old yesterday and she was trying to crawl! she was lying on my stomach and moved herself all the way up to my face. It took her a couple of minutes, but she did it by herself. I know I sound like an ignorant father bragging on his daughter, but believe me, I've Never, ever, seen this much progress with any child, after three months, let alone one week! Hopefully, I'll have her walking around by September, but we'll wait and see.
