I got to hold my sweet Lucas for the very first time. After 43 long days I finally got to hold my precious baby boy. I cried so many tears of joy. Words cannot describe the pure joy the first time a mother gets to hold her baby. This was most definitely one of the sweetest and best moments of my life. It seems like lately I've done more pleading than praising God, but today I have praised Him for the beautiful blessings He has given me. I am so thankful for all my boys. I am so thankful that I got to hold precious Lucas.
Tomorrow morning Lucas will have surgery to correct the TE fistula and to place a more secure PICC line. Please pray that the surgery goes well. Pray for the medical team doing the surgery. Pray for strength for our family. We are scared and nervous. Pray that Lucas recovers quickly.
The past two nights Tom and I have both stayed the night at the hospital and taken care of Miller. We have gotten to bathe him, take his temperature, weigh him, dress him, change his diaper, and given him his bottles. He is getting better each day at feeding from a bottle. One of the sweet nurses sat down with me and gave me some pointers for feeding a preemie. After using some of her techniques, Miller started to be more interested in his feedings. We are so proud of our boys!
