Almost 12 hours now after giving birth to the newest baby Howard, I am sitting here at home trying to find the words to describe our gratitude to everyone for their continued prayers, thoughts, concerns, prayer chains, and posts.
I can tell you on THIS day, my emotions are a little frozen, but at the same time, I am at peace. UNlike with Ian & Owens birth, I had warning with this one. I had 4 days to lay there and do nothing but prepare for the inevitable. Not that I was being pesimistic about the situation, but given the grim information about our state when we got there on Sunday, I was trying to remain realistic. I ddo not want to get my hopes up yet again to just be saddened by what I knew in my heart was going to happen.
I was blessed with a team of FANTSATIC nurses that made 100% sure I was being informed every moment of everyday. They kept me laughing and kept my spirits up but never gave me false hope. They treated us like family the whole time we were in the hospital and we were thriled last night to have the nurse that started our care on Monday, be there to deliver Maddox.
I don't have the emotional energy right now to tell the whole story but I promise i will. Just giving all an update that we are home, we are hanging in there, but we are obviously having a difficult time. For ME, it is easier this time around, but I think Cris and I have swapped roles. He's had a very long, tiring and emotional week that I believe is catching up to him!
Please continue to reach out to us-but please don't forget about Cris-this affects him just as much as it does me!!!!!
Love you all & thank you again!
