THESE PRAYERS ARE AMAZING, HOWEVER... IF YOU READ AUDREY'S STORY, GET A BOX OF TISSUE.... WHAT A STRONG WOMAN!

WELL... I HAD ONE OF THOSE VERY HUMBLING MOMENTS IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING WHILE MY PRECIOUS ONE WAS NOT SLEEPING! ;) MY PAL, LES, HAS BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THIS BLOG FOR MONTHS NOW, BUT I JUST READ IT TODAY. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, IT IS CRIPPLING. I DON'T THINK THE TIMING OF ME READING IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING BUT A GOD THING. YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN SO FRUSTRATED WITH MY HOSPITAL HAPPY BABY AND NOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN HOME, HE DOESN'T SLEEP! WE ARE SOME KIND OF TIRED AROUND HERE! HOWEVER, AFTER READING ANGIE'S BLOG, I HAVE A NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE. MY PITY PARTY FOR MYSELF AND OUR SITUATION SEEMS PRETTY RIDICULOUS. SO, HERE'S THE NEW PLAN: I AM GOING TO BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY MINUTE OF MY COTTON HEADED BABY'S LIFE... EVEN AT 3 A.M. WHEN HE HASN'T SLEPT A WINK BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT, I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HIM. AND NOT ONLY DO WE JUST HAVE HIM, WE HAVE HIM HOME AND HEALTHY. IT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE GONE THE OTHER DIRECTION DURING THE 6 SCARY WEEKS IN THE NICU AND OUR VERY SCARY NOT BREATHING, CPR EPISODE TWO WEEKS AGO. SO, WHEN I LOOK EXHAUSTED AND HAVE SOME SERIOUS BAGS UNDER MY EYES, I AM GOING TO BE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THEM BECAUSE I HAVE THIS PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD AT HOME IN MY ARMS!

Give me a break... PLEASE!!!

My Jace has been home from the hospital for 6 days and my Garrett now has a stomach bug! Seriously... can I just get a bit of a break? I pray my tiny one doesn't get it because stomach bug usually equals dehydration and dehydration equals hospital again and hospital equals ivs for fluids and ivs equal a million new sticks for my baby! So... please, please, please, do not let Jace get Garrett's bug! So much for a restful weekend!!
