Several people have asked me about the baby kangaroo so thought I would give an update to those who wanted to know. She has officially been named Lilypad in honor of her mom and she is just as sweet. At barely over a pound she spends most of her time hanging in her incubator working on growing and getting fur. At this young age they can't control their own temperature yet so I have to make sure she stays cozy and warm.
She is a fighter and loves to eat which is great. We are not out of the woods yet as she is a very tiny kangaroo but she is stable at this point and putting on weight. So thank all of you guys who have been praying for her and keep them up as we still have a ways to go until she is big enough to come out of the incubator. And thank you guys who have excused my cranky moments due to lack of sleep, lol.
P.S. she is very awkward to get pictures of right now but here she is.
