Clothes and more...


It's funny that it feels like this past month of Micah's life has flown by, and at the same time it feels like forever ago that we brought him home from the hospital. And to think back to then is also humorous...thinking about how we would have to do laundry every other day because Micah would either pee through his diaper and onto his clothes and blankets, or else he would pee on himself and his clothes while we were trying to change him, and we had so few clothes that even fit him while he was that small...but now...
Not only is he growing into more of his clothes, but we have been so blessed to have received SO many clothes from another family. Clothes that will fit Micah until he is 2, or probably until he is 4 because that is when he will be the size of a normal 2 year old!!
We were given so many clothes that not only will we not have to do laundry as often, but we might be able to never do laundry because there are probably enough clothes for him to wear something new every day until he grows into the next size!!!
But really, we have been so blessed, and thus humbled, through this whole process. All through the pregnancy, but especially as birth got closer and then happened, others were constantly blessing us with their time, money, gifts, hand downs, meals, etc. There is very little we have actually had to buy for Micah and, through this, God has shown us more of His love and His grace, and we are humbled! I pray we do not take any of this for granted or forget where it all has come from. God has definitely shown us Himself through Micah and I want to make sure we continue to keep my eyes open to Him!
