PSALM 22:10 WHEN I LEFT THE WOMB YOU CRADLED ME; SINCE THE MOMENT OF BIRTH YOU’VE BEEN MY GOD. Three years have passed since my baby Lucy went to heaven. It always seems a bit ironic to me that the worst day of my life was the best day of Lucy’s life. Since I haven’t […]
So here are our baby makin’ plans. We always wanted lots of babies. In the past few months we realized that it wouldn’t be easy to have more children. In fact, it could be deadly to try. It’s so strange to plan your life out and actually THINK you can control anything. What was I […]
At this time last year we had just arrived in Houston and we felt so afraid and out of sync. It was a huge transition for our family. All of the normal comings and goings ceased and our full focus was on saving Nora’s life. Liam didn’t get to play soccer last spring, Asher was […]
Our family has been enjoying our little Nora so much lately. She is probably the happiest, most laid back baby I have ever encountered. It’s almost like she KNOWS how amazing it is that she’s alive and she enjoys being with us so much. My mom said the other day, “She just doesn’t seem REAL.” […]
*Sorry in advance for any mistakes…I didn’t have access to a computer so I had to type this post out on my phone. I am 21 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Just typing that out and seeing it written here on my blog seems unbelievable to me. How have we made it this far without […]
Well, the year of the Nora, as I like to call it, is almost over. 2015 has been a year of healing and restoration. I will always remember it as the year my dreams came true, when God performed a miracle in our family. Nora is now 5 months old and is doing great. She […]
On this day one year ago a little girl was born at 37 weeks and six days. We had been praying for this baby and waiting for her birth for months. She was going to be our rainbow baby, our hope and redemption after the storm. Scarlet Mae. We had stared at her ultrasound pictures […]
This week I am 36 weeks pregnant and on Monday we scheduled my induction. It’s so exciting to finally have a date to look forward to! I am scheduled to be induced on the morning of Monday, July 20th when I am 38 weeks exactly. Of course, if there are no beds available and they […]
As soon as we found out there was a complication with the pregnancy, Satan started whispering lies to me. My Mom warned me of this and reminded me that he was like a lion looking to devour the weakest animal. This trial has made me feel so weak, but doesn’t the devil know that when […]
Here’s the story of how we lost our Lucy Dair. It’s long, by the way. I couldn’t write it without the details. We were so excited when we found out we were pregnant with our third child. I had a strong suspicion it was a girl from the beginning. We had prayed for this baby […]
Psalm 25:3 Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame. Psalm 66:5 Come and see what God has done: He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man. I have finally found enough time to sit down and type out Nora’s birth story. It’s kind of long but I’ve been dreaming […]
This week has been another big milestone in this long journey of ours, and it has been a good one. Nora’s weekly blood work finally started looking better this week. Her hematocrit and hemoglobin still went down, but just barely. I think last week they were 33 and 12 and this week they were 31 […]
Today our Nora Juliet is one month old! We are so thankful for the gift of one whole month with our daughter. I know many parents don’t even get that much time with their children. This will probably (once again) have to be a quick blog post. I have a small window of time while […]
I have so much to write about and so little time to sit down and complete a blog post. I will hopefully have more time to write everything out once we get home to Alabama and settle back into our lives. Just wanted to update everybody on our little Nora. She spent less than 24 […]
