Last week Grandpa Roger and Grandma Cami stayed with us and helped with Noah and Paige. Here are photos from their camera. The first two photos are of Jeremy and the kids and Grandpa and Grandma in the NICU lounge. The next photo is of Jeremy and Rachel touching Eden, I think for the first time. The other photo is Rachel touching Eden's hand. The last photo is just after Eden was born and whisked away to the NICU then Rachel was put on a gurney and whisked to the NICU to see her too.
Hymn #124 has always given me comfort in the past, may it do so now for you and your dear family, all of our love. Risa and Michael
ReplyDeleteBe still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
I found your blog through Sew She Sews (which I am new to as well). I have twin boys who were preemies, though not as early as sweet little Eden. It's a hard road to travel. I am thinking of you and plan to follow your blog. Many positive thoughts coming your way. If you can get your hands on it, this book is AMAZING: http://www.amazon.com/Preemies-Essential-Parents-Premature-Babies/dp/067103491X It is a big, fat book and you will look at it and think you have no time for it, but it's written in a way that allows you to just read the parts that pertain to your baby. It's a really, really great book. Hugs to you all.
