Twin Update

I just wanted to quickly post a few nuggets of information we were given from a mom who recently traveled to Ethiopia to bring home her son.  She said the boys are "teenie tiny", she estimates their weight to be 4-5 pounds, another mom there estimated their weight to be 3-4 pounds.  I sent her with an outfit for each boy, Baby Gap size newborn, 0-7 lbs.  She said the outfits swallowed the boys.  She said they are in premie sizes.  She said, Phelix, the smaller one is very alert and doing well, the bigger one, Phisher, is doing well as well, but did not seem as alert as his brother.  She also said that they may have caught him at sleepy times.

As wonderful as this update is, it leaves us with questions.  At the time of referral, we were told that Phelix was 7.5 lbs and Phisher was 10.5 lbs.  We are currently waiting for an accurate and current weight on both boys, and to hear if they are tolerating the premie formula we sent (with this kind mom who just traveled) for the boys.  We would ask for your prayers for the boys, for their nutritional and physical and mental development.  God has sweetly reminded me of how dearly He loves our boys, and that He is seeing to their every need.  Would you praise HIM for His faithfulness, His enduring love for all.  Would you stand with us in prayer that we would be assigned a court date soon, that we pass court the FIRST time and then assigned a swift embassy date to bring the boys home?

Hope to share some new images of the boys soon, I think new photos should be coming soon.  Families who travel before you, are so generous with their time and resources while they are in ET.  I hope to post a picture of little feet soon!
