It has been a couple of days since we have had a chance to write. Stutts started his new job and I have been trying to get into the new schedule with him being back at work. Everyone is doing well and we are in the feeding and growing phase. Everyone has been taking a bottle and except for our usual reflux issues they have been doing a great job! This week they were trying to wean everyone out of the isolettes, RE and JW were out of them for a day, RO had his off but never made it out, before they all went back into the isolettes because they could not keep their temperatures up. No big deal it will come with time, but it was nice to see them in cribs for a brief moment. Also a little scary because it made everything more real. I guess all of the sudden I saw them in a different way, that they would be in cribs soon at home and I kind of had a momentof "wow". Yes they will be coming home and it will be soon..... What a wonderful day that will be. Stutts has already started planning the festivities. I imagine we will have a pretty big party, and everyone is invited to their christening. That is what I am really looking forward to.

I have talked to several people this week who have said it's amazing the strength that you have had through this. It is amazing and it is all God, and it has been him the entire time. I don't think that I could have made it through the first two months without him. I saw a new baby come in last week, a 27 week old and I could not believe if I had not been there myself that mine had ever been that small. I had a true anxiety attack and it made me realize just how far we have come.

I know now it was the protectiveness of God that gave me the ability to see those tiny little beings as my perfect little babies even when they were just skin and bones. We have had many scary moments and we will probably have several more but God has seen us through them and will continue to be by our sides no matter what we face. I know that now like never before.

I just want to make it clear that it has been and is God that has been holding us and our children the entire time. It is a power that is uncomprehensible and a peace that passes all understanding. It truly is and I have expereinced it for myself.

Remember to pray for all the babies in the NICU and their families.
