When God speaks

My sweet friend, Jessica, sent a book to the hospital for me to read. I open it up and there it is: "We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
I truly believe The Lord has great plans for me by putting me in this situation. He has lead me, faithfully, lovingly. He's been so attentive, so patient and has helped lead me to the people who will physically embrace me, listen to my worries and uncertainties. He's lead me to people who have given me beautiful memories, spiritual food and an abundance of selfless acts of kindness. 
The Specialists He's placed on the team to care for me is jaw dropping. I'm in awe of His over flowing, ever present, extremely active, involvement in my life. Me of all people on this planet. He has made me feel like His purpose for me is much greater then any fear I may have. Since being in Houston, I haven't had time to dwell on my fears, He's taken them from me and in their place put people of all kinds to carry a part in this plan The Lord has. Everyone from my sweet friends to my drs, each are carrying a piece of my burden because The Lord has placed then in my life for this purpose. I'm humbled. I am loved by an amazing, perfect God. Who will never cease in His love for me or our baby. Each one carrying through on a plan much bigger then we can comprehend. I have no doubt there will be many angels in that operating room and one Great Physician directing the hands of His servants.

Ant hills to mountains

First I have to share the love and support from all over. Especially to Hope for Accreta Foundation, Gina. She sent me this. Such a beautiful surprise to see the signatures of survivors from all over the world. Very humbling. Probably the biggest and most humbling gifts I've received thus far are cards with words of encouragement. I've received birthday cards, etc but these cards are different...or maybe my perspective is changing.  This past week I don't look at my children the same. When I hold my youngest, I inhale his sweet, sticky and sometimes unidentifiable (depends what substance he's sporting) smell. I look at my two youngest and truly look into their deep blue eyes, trying to count the various shades of blue. I watch their movements. I stare in wonder how my 3 yr old knows almost all the words to Frozen, complete with hand gestures and facial expressions. How observant she is...what has she observed from me over the 3 short years of her beautiful life? W...

It's so good to be home!

The past 2.5 weeks home have been great! I'm tired and get sore easily but nothing like snuggling your children and cuddling up in your big, comfy bed.  Elias, our 19 month old, didn't remember me when I walked through the door. Actually he didn't warm up to me until a week and half later :( . Poor little guy. About 4 days ago he crawled up on my lap and snuggled with me. Something he used to do before I left. It filled my heart with joy. I've missed him.  Gabriel is doing great! Eating every 2-2.5 hrs ...not so great in the middle of the night but he's thriving! His discharge weight was 5lbs 8oz, 4 days later he was 6lbs 2oz! 10 days after that he weighed 7lbs 4oz and 19.25" (he was 18.5"). All from momma's Dairy Queen :) He's doing amazing. So proud of our little guy :) Elias loves giving his little brother kisses and hugs. At first Elias was a bit freaked by his brother's noises. He would observe him from a distances and just stare at him. T...
