I will be this in one week! I just find it insane. Tonight I was watching my children play outside and my mind went to the memories of the NICU. Poor Birdie had IV port in his head...his HEAD! Now you can't slow that boy down. It's like he is telling the NICU..."I will live and I will live it full!" He hasn't stopped since the day they let him have a bottle. You see the doctors told me Birdie had all these issues with eating and that he had a heart murmur. I prayed over my son (literally laid hands on him) and the next day a new doctor came to the NICU. She said, "give that boy a bottle...he is sucking a binki hard!" That was it ...he has never looked back... he ate that bottle and we left the NICU three days later! No heart murmur by the way. Nathanael was mommy's boy from the beginning. He was a little ahead of Birdie in weight, eating, and even left the hospital a day earlier than Birdie. He is just attached to me. He is starting to take some independence but he still loves his mommy and I treasure those moments of love...and when he calls me "Mommy."
God is just so good to us and I want to make sure that people know that I have good healthy kids all because of Him. I constantly turn them over to Him. I try to be a control freak of everything but he quietly reminds me they are His. I am so blessed to be thier mommy. I never knew I could love this deep or feel like this about being a mommy. God so knows what he is doing!
