Skin to Skin
Hey friends and family,
This is a simple one. It’s a teaser for a few months down the road when you may get to meet our special little guy. Yesterday Tanya got to hold Desmond for the first time. One sweet hour of pure Heaven, and first time either of us got to bond with him.
Then today, it was my turn for some skin to skin. The nurse asked if I had “manskaped” before holding him. Fortunately the chest fur was not something that Desmond was going to have to encounter his first time with daddy. We snuggled for over an hour. It was the best hour of my life.
Prayer requests:
- Pray that Tanya’s pain is gone (so that she can walk around and get in and out of bed without pain like normal people)
- Keep praying that Desmond gets stronger and healthier
- Pray that his caretakers take exceptional care of him too
- Pray that Tanya’s blood pressure stays in normal, healthy ranges
- Pray for an easy move
PS
Please don’t share these photos with anyone else or put it on facebook. Thanks!
Mark 11
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
You will be surprised to see how a miracle can unfold before your eyes.
Beautiful.
