For everyone tracking the days… today is the REAL Day 5. Wednesday would have been DAY 0 not DAY 1… Math was never my strong suit. I’m realizing how fortunate we are that this has been such a smooth process in the NICU (knocking on wood). Every day we’ve been able to list progression over […]

MOTHER’S DAY//
I just got done reading an article about why baby name trends are the way they are… apparently, we’re not as original as any of us like to think we are… I’ve claimed this for awhile. I have no original thought. I steal jokes. I sing other people’s songs. But, ultimately it’s not about me […]

So, as I’m beginning the morning update, I realize that this blog has suddenly taken on a “kid” focus… you know, those blogs that are people just telling about their kids… I PROMISE THIS WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE! Right now it’s the best way to communicate to all of you who are praying […]
Read MoreDAY 3 RUN DOWN//
When we finally got to a point last night to blog an update, I could hardly keep my eyes open. So, after the best night’s sleep we’ve had since WED (THANK YOU, DURANS & NIHARTS!!!) we’re finally able to catch everyone up. As the quick mid day post shared yesterday, it’s all became official at […]

I have too many options running through my head. Angie said I shouldn’t get to have any input. Most votes wins.

At 3:38pm we just signed our lives away. We also just found out that he’s off the Oxygen and the tube has been removed! All of this means that we’ll be holding him tonight. They’re going to have to wrestle him away from us 😉 “Praise our GOD, for He is good.”

It’s been a long day. It seems like sleeping last night in the hotel in South Bend was a dream… it feels very surreal. We actually came home tonight to shore up a few details for the next few weeks. It’s looking as if we’ll be up north for the next few weeks. Charlie was […]

Last night was what will, I’m sure, be one of many sleepless nights. Isaac was just a few miles away. As we curled up in bed at the Quality Inn, there was this very real understanding of distance. All we wanted to do was sit next the little guy as he “cooked a little more” […]

Born: May 6, 2009 – 2:38pm 4 lbs. 11 oz. 17.5 Inches ****** Dear Issac, Dude, you’re not supposed to freak us out this soon. You’re just 6 hours old yet and we’re stressing over you… I know, you’re just prepping us for what’s to come, but seriously. There are a lot of people praying […]
Read MoreBEEN A FEW DAYS//
It’s been a few days and a lot has happened. Friday I wore a tie. I don’t wear ties very often. When I do it makes me feel adult, grown up … even with my shaggy hair and dark-rimmed glasses. I feel like a productive member of society when I wear a tie. However, my […]
