Reflecting

Yesterday as I was reflecting on the 5 months Brielle has been with us I remembered I had this diaper from her first days in the NICU- it was big on her when she was born! Sweet girl has grown so much. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

My Wondering Mind

Image
I'm sitting here this morning drinking my coffee with some random thoughts. Thoughts that I really don't need to give brain space to. I've been sleeping awful this week. That never helps anything. In fact I'm not even sure if it's really safe to be blogging right now because you just never really know what may come out. Here's how it goes- I go to sleep- I have some bizarre dream- I wake- look at my phone for a missed call (yes at 2am) and then attempt to go back to sleep. Some nights I do this 4 or 5 times. The missed call you think? Who could possibly call in the middle of the night? Well these calls tend to be the tragic ones, ones with bad news, accidents etc.... Now granted this could happen.

Our Lucky Charm

Journal entry by  Missy Eagen  —  3/17/2016 Words can't convey the JOY we felt when we arrived at the NICU today to see this girls uncovered CPAP FREE face! Oh she has the cutest little nose you ever did see. The nurse practitioner stopped in and said the next step is learning how to eat orally and then home! HOME - Sounds easier said than probably done but Brielle never ceases to amaze us and we are praying that she masters eating while remembering to breathe like the fighter she is.  She is 3lbs 12oz and wakes now for periods of time, she is enjoying her paci here and there and is quite a sweet girl to snuggle into a recliner with. Her due date is in 5 weeks and she is 8 weeks old.  As always thank you for your prayers!  Happy St Patrick's Day! 🍀 heart
