dedication

This past Sunday, our church had their baby dedication service. 

It was a service where the parents commit to raising their child in a Christian home and manner. We prayed for her little feet, hands, heart and mind. It was a really nice service. but a little chaotic with kids and babies all over the place;) But it meant so much to us to have our family come and support us and Ainsley. Thank you all for loving our child. 

please excuse the flabbiness that are my arms 

Grandma hates paci pics, but it could not be helped :)

 Rewind the day a few hours before the dedication. We ended up taking Ainsley into the doctor and got her tested for strep. She has a reddened throat with blisters. it's called viral stomatitis. no antibiotics since it is a virus, so we are just giving tylenol. But it is nice to have an answer as to why she hasn't been eating all week. She must have picked up the virus from the Dr office when she was there for shots monday. with the timing, I had been assuming it was shot-related. she lost 5 ounces which made my hurt physically hurt.  Hoping her little throat starts feeling better soon:( 

That night some of Philip's family from Michigan came in. We had a yummy dinner at joy's with papa, grandma and danielle. They got to meet Ainsley and she loved her great grandparents and aunt danielle:)

hi papa

Praying for a speedy recovery for our sweet little girl. she has been quite puny all week :/
