The Oxygen is Finally Gone!

On New Years Eve the Drs called us with special news! They told us the Neonatologist had looked over her report and said she was doing outstanding and that we could go ahead and take her off the oxygen completely! I was so excited and waited for Matt to get home so we could do it together and celebrate. It was so much fun throwing away those stupid oxygen cords and seeing her rosy little cheeks for the first time! She's got some pretty cute chubby cheeks. Anyway, people have been asking us when she'll get off of it, so I just wanted to let everyone know!

CS Lewis quote:

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means -the only complete realist.
