He has heard our prayers and everyone who have said prayers on our behalf. He knows the desires of our hearts and how much we want to be parents to these precious human beings. We are just so so THANKFUL for his faithfulness. 

Thank you all SO much for following along with us. For letting me blog our journey and my personal feelings. It has been refreshing to share with all of you. It has been amazing to see so many people supporting and caring for us. I’ve used this outlet to reach out to all of our friends and family and so I could document every step of the way. Our boys will be able to look back at this someday, and realize just how special they are!! 

We LOVE them SO much. A love I never new existed. It just keeps growing for these little tiny miracles. 

The boys have been home with us for 3 weeks now. Noah and I both agree that it feels like much longer than that. We have enjoyed every second with our boys. They are growing and doing extremely well. They are both 9 pounds and growing by the day. They love their pacis. We dedicated them back to the Lord on 8/23/20. It was a beautiful ceremony and we are so thankful that the Lord made us their parents. We believe it’s the least we could do to dedicate them back to Him. 

We left our first home together a few days ago for our new home in Jacksonville. My mom and sister were able to visit before we moved. My sister helped get me and the boys to a follow up eye appointment in Miami. The boys and I went with Noah’s Dad, Geoff to Summerfield,FL after the eye exam. Thank you Geoff for venturing to Miami via flight during this pandemic to take us back to your house. Noah drove to Summerfield yesterday with Quinn and Cali. We are now waiting to settle on our house and move in. Please pray that happens soon. After living out of a suite case for 3.5 Months - I cannot wait to be settled in our HOME with our babies. 

So many people have reached out to us and are wishing us well in this parenting journey. As I was visiting the nicu everyday I was freightened about this whole 24/7 parenting thing. I didn’t know how the boys would be with us 24/7 without any monitors. I can now finally say that God has given us the strength we need to rock this. I get very little sleep, but it’s like I don’t even realize it. I’m so focused on our special boys and my heart is so full of joy that I don’t even think about how tired I am. We are so blessed!!!! 

The month of September is NICU awareness month. As a NICU graduate, this has always held a special place in my heart. However, this September is something really special. Our NICU stay was definitely one of a kind, but I look back and smile in thanksgiving because we prevailed and God answered all of our prayers and gave us healthy baby boys. We had 1 follow up appointment once being discharged, the eye doctor (which is very common). I can’t fathom how blessed we are. I keep saying that, but it’s so true. There are many NICU parents who spend months and months there. Some babies have multiple surgeries and complications. How can I ever complain about anything we went through when our boys did so amazing?! If you don’t believe in God, just think about our miracle babies. They have truly conquered every single obstacle that was put in their way. They continue to do so. I would really like to do something special for the NICU, but I’m still thinking hard. Part of me wants to get my masters degree and maybe be a social worker in the NICU. I feel a strong burden to give back to something that did so much for our family. Without the NICU & modern medicine our babies would not be here. I know God is more important than all of that, but I’m so thankful for the doctor and nurses. 

Whenever you say your prayers; please pray for the thousands of babies and families in the NICU right now. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and nurses. The NICU is truly a special place that I hope none of my friends or family need. I pray all of you have healthy & full term babies. However, if needed I’m always here if any of you are experiencing the NICU. No one should feel alone. I’m so thankful I had my mom throughout my journey because she did it herself with me. It’s crazy how life works! God works in so many amazing ways. He works all things together for good. I cannot stress that enough. 

We love you all. I can’t seem to find too much time to write in this blog but it has been a blessing for me throughout this journey. I thank you all for commenting and for supporting me during the past 4 months. I keep my Facebook and Instagram updated with pictures and little stories. (It is quicker and easier for me.) Come follow along with us during this incredible parenting journey. ❤️
