Logan's Sisters: My Shower Has Been Postponed

My Shower Has Been Postponed

We have unfortunately made the decision to postpone the shower until March or April. I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. There are just too many illnesses going around right now and I don't want to risk getting sick and bringing home something to Olivia. My mother is extremely sick right now and there are only a handful of times I can even remember her being sick (of course, this is after I made her get a flu shot.) My dad felt fine Friday morning and came home at noon from work due to vomiting, etc. Luckily, he was excluded from our house because my mom was sick, so none of us were exposed. I think this was the first birthday in. . . .oh, 30 years that I wasn't able to spend with my parents. I was looking so forward to my shower, but I need to place Olivia's health first and foremost. To do that, I have to remain healthy. Again, I'm so sorry. . .I feel just awful about this. My sincere apologies to Denise and Michelle for any trouble this causes. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please email me or Denise at omlicrew@sbcglobal.net.

Don't worry though; we'll all wait for you. We will still be here when you emerge in a couple of months! Give Olivia a nice squeeze for me!

That seemed outrageous to me since we were always trying so hard to get bottles down! Plus we had an hour drive to Wichita and it was almost impossible to keep the baby awake during the drive. Anyway, it did really help to have our baby tired and hungry, so that he was ready to crash when it was time for the EEG. (We also did this for a BAER hearing test in order to avoid sedation) I'm assuming your doctor is Dr. Shah. His office was very helpful and understanding to us and gave us plenty of time to try to get him to sleep naturally. We didn't keep our baby awake extra the night before or the morning of. We just skipped one nap and one feeding, so he wasn't so overtired that he wouldn't go to sleep. I sure hope that helps! I know I was so nervous and prayed the whole time that he would sleep as long as they needed him to! I know there are no guarantees, but hope that might help a little.

Also, I read a few of your other posts and just wanted to let you know you're not alone in your questioning! I too look back and think why didn't my cervix get checked? Why didn't I notice the symptoms? (of course, all of the symptoms of incompetent cervix are similar to regular pregnancy stuff, so who would know the difference?! and I don't think they regularly check cervical length) why does God let others have babies so easily when they don't take good care of them? I don't know if we'll ever know the answers, but God is still faithful.

Hope everyone stays well at your house!
Love,

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.
