I can't believe it we are coming up on the 48 hour mark for the birth of Brady and we are sure loving being able to go see our little one down in the NICU. We have jumped at the chances to change his diapers and have been loving our visits with our little one. I know we are weird, what parent is trying to outrank the nurses to change those lovely diapers. :) ME!! :)
As an update, Brady is still doing extremely well and is having a good time peeing on his nurses (which despite me telling him not to, my dad- aka grandpa- is telling him to do it). But it's been awesome. I've been a little sleep deprived but I'm not minding at all, as I'm trying to keep up with how fast he is intaking milk...tons faster than Bradley ever did in his time as the hospital so I'm hoping my body will figure out to keep up fast. But I can already see this little boy in his teens eating me out of house and home. Yikes!
As a side note, while I'm thinking about it... the last few times I've got to be visiting Brady the impression keeps weighing on my mind like there is another person in that room standing there with us. I can't help but to think that it's my first son, Bradley as he is watching over our family. It may sound strange to say but honestly, I think that big brother has got a special eye on our little one, in a way we can't. The prayers, love, feelings, thoughts, and everything else that has been our way is definitely a help. You all have no idea, how much the difference between that little bit your are doing helps.
I'll keep updating as we get things all ready, but we do get to go home from the hospital today, though Brady will stay in the NICU until probably September But I am looking forward to showing everyone how he grows and does. I thank all of you for your support as you read the blog, or if we are able to talk. You are all amazing, thank you for helping me as I go through having another premature little baby boy. I will have to try and get up some pictures of our little baby room that I'm so stinking excited to use.
Not strange at all!! I feel the presence of others frequently and I have the same impression that it is my babies. Tender mercies from heaven that Heavenly Father allows us to have to help us get through the trials we face here on earth. Cherish and love those times :) Love you!!
