Wednesday, December 5, 2007 - Update

So, Olivia continues to take all of her bottles. We were instructed to bring her car seat tonight for her car seat test. She could go to family care as early as tomorrow!!! She could be home by this weekend!! Ryan and I are kind of freaking out. I’m not going to go up to the hospital until tonight, unfortunately, because I have a million and one things to do. I am pretty much in crazy mode right now. .wish me luck!!!

Cora said...: Yeah Olivia! I'm so excited to hear that she will be home soon. Sleep now while you can....that first night you will be too excited and nervous to sleep!

We're big fans of the Dr. Brown bottle/nipple system too, but boy have I learned to hate washing all of those extra parts!; December 5, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Michael Morales said...: I am so glad the Dr. Brown bottles seem to be doing the trick. We used those with our son. There are a lot of parts to clean though, which gets a little tedious. Here's a tip... Medela makes sanitizer bags where you nuke the bottle/pump parts in your microwave. It really saves time and makes the process go a lot faster.

We are so happy for you guys! What a special Christmas! Don't worry, we'll still be prayin'!; December 5, 2007 at 3:04 PM

My name is Kendra and I have been following your blog daily since my friend Lucy asked our Mommy's Bible Study to pray for you and your family. I just wanted to tell you after reading your blog today Congrats and it is ok to be nervous to bring Olivia home. You will be great. I, too, had twins in the NICU (nearly 3 years ago) and your blog today brought back that rush of emotions (excitement, fear, anticipation) like it was happening to me all over again. Anyway, I just wanted to offer you support and let you know that no matter what, Olivia will thrive at home because she has a loving family to come home to.; December 5, 2007 at 6:39 PM
Sarah said...: How exciting! The crazy days of cleaning and getting the house ready and rooming in and not getting any sleep :) When Emery came home I held him for every single one of his naps. I got nothing done for a few days lol! You will both be great. Just remember, when you get nervous, they wouldn't send her home if she wasn't ready! I will keep your family in my prayers that all goes well and she comes home very soon!; December 5, 2007 at 10:34 PM

Never Before

NEVER BEFORE
by Jodi Glunt

Never before have I known such love
As that which I feel in my heart.
My beautiful daughter, although physically petite
Fills up an enormous part.

Never before have I seen such strength
From a person who weighed but a pound.
And yet she’s a fighter through and through
With very little that gets her down.

Never before have I heard such laughter
With an energy and zest for life.
She consistently shows me the wonder and joy
While overlooking the pain and strife.

Never before have I felt such mercy
From a God who has allowed me to raise
This miraculous, amazing daughter of mine
On earth, throughout all of my days.

A micropreemie shattering every prediction
About the life she had in store.
Teaching us all about the miracles within us
That we never quite realized before.

Playing In Heaven Instead by Jodi Glunt

You were the perfect little boy
Of whom we always dreamed.
Did you know we had your name picked out?
All along or so it seemed.

You even had your daddy’s hands
So miniature in size.
In life we never got to hold you
Or even see your opened eyes.

We had so many plans for you.
Did you know you are a twin?
I wanted you to grow up together.
What a pair you would have been!

I wanted to take you to the park
And push you on the swing.
I wanted to teach you how to walk,
And read and write and sing.

I wanted to show you a fire truck
And let you ride upon a horse.
I wanted to take you to the zoo
To see the giraffes, of course.

I wanted you to watch cartoons
And play video games with dad.
And you and I would take a nap
Oh, the times we would have had.

But, your mommy’s plans were not to be.
“I have other plans,” God said.
“You won't be playing in life’s playground
You’ll be playing in heaven instead.”

And although I ache with sadness
And in my arms I long to hold.
I’ll see you again in heaven
When my story on earth’s been told.

A Poem

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
They are miracles, here on earth
So bold, so strong, so wise
And bring to life a sense of worth
For those who lack great size.

Some of this life’s smaller treasures
Are the ones which matter more
Than the larger joys and pleasures
That we have grown to adore
Volume is not as essential
As the gift that lies inside
Smaller souls with much potential
Who shall never be denied.

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
These children, while born premature
Are testaments of worth
Their spirits bold, their futures sure
To ever bless the earth.
