Gracie's in summer school - she has to be there by 8:00am.... a tall order for a child who would rather stay up late into the night and sleep in till 10:00am. Her muscles don't even work until 9:00am, let alone coordinate enough to eat breakfast... but she's getting there! She starting to wake up on her own by 6:15, although she'll fall back to sleep as long as we let her sleep.
The other room is actually a bedroom now! Gracie's got a bed and the crib is now in there - it looks great! however, Gracie's still in our bed... 'sigh'... her seizures still aren't controlled so I'm still nervous about putting her in the other room. Part of me also likes being close to her since I'm not with her all day long, sometimes 7 days a week. Last week, she has a completely silent seizure (like an absence seizure), so now she's shown me that she can seize without making ANY noise to be picked up on a monitor to wake me up... 'sigh.'
The amazing news is that she is on the growth curve! She's small but on the curve! She's actually the size of an actual 3.5 year old! :)
I'm starting to feel quite pregnant, although I still look pretty small for 24 weeks. I'm tired all the time and now eating a lot (as opposed to the first trimester where I ate NOTHING)... interesting thing, being pregnant! ;-)

I have looked at your blog again..it's been months. This whole adoption thing keeps stirring in me. I just spent ahwile on the site of Acres of Hope. Is that where you went through? Also, did you use Bethany Christian Services?
Also, I'm going to Liberia in October with a church group. I have some other questions about Liberia. So you if you can email me that would be great! I know you are so busy. though. Blessings to you on the little one growing within you!
