Yesterday we took this picture, and I am so excited how well it turned out. Her eyes are open and looking to show you a little of her personality. The meeting with the doctor went well yesterday, but I no matter what we are discussing the tears tend to fall. I am so thankful that we have the chance to know our daughter more, but now there is a different pain/fear. In my mind I know that none of us know the amount of time here on earth, but my heart just doesn't understand. I never knew that I would love her this much.
I have just attempted, and finally, with Noah's help, put together monitors in hopes that we will bring her home this week. It is hard to believe that this possibility exists, but I am so excited. Magdalena is digesting the amount of calories necessary, and as of yesterday she had put on a little weight. She now weighs 3.13!
Because of Magdalena's size and apnea she had a pass a test to be able to ride in a car seat. She did so well and passed!! We are so proud of her fighting so hard!
P.S. from Magdalena - Thanks Loli for letting me borrow Caroline's carseat! Thanks Uncle Stephen for making sure it was super clean for me!

What a great picture. Magdalena has such resolve! Praise God that she has done so well and that she can have the opportunity to come home with y'all. We are praying that you, Noah and Magdalena will quickly feel more and more comfortable with all that will be required for her care over the next couple days. We are excited for y'all and are praying for the opportunity to see her baptized at church.
