Going Home

Here is my post from Memoirs of a Mommy... (since I need to go pick up Shane from the Airport and don't have time to re-type.)

~I can't believe the time has come.

We are going home Saturday morning. We have been here in Denver at the Ronald McDonald House since June, shortly after Noah was born. That seems like such a long time ago.

Since Noah came home from the hospital, we have developed some sort of Life Routine. It's been less than wonderful having us all in one room but we have managed, and managed quite well if I do say so myself. I truly believe the Lord has helped us adjust and find some sort of comfort here. So, while there are some things I will miss (All the wonderful people at the RMH and TCH, Boston Market, and the best eye brow estitician I have ever found) I could not be more excited to finally be making the trip back home.

I don't look at this past experience as a trial or a challenge. This has been life. My life. And life is full of ups and downs and walks and runs and all I can do is roll with it. I don't ever want Noah to think his life was my trial. And I truly don't feel that way. I love him more than I ever could have imagined. Shane and I fought to bring Lilly to this earth, and we fought to keep Noah here. These are our babies, our life, our legacy. And being a mom is the only thing in the world that I could ever want to be. So I will take it all. The good with the bad. Because only then will the good be so sweet.

Anyways... back to the point of this post. Shane is coming tonight. We are going to one last clinic appointment here at The Childrens Hospital, packing, then going HOME!! Then, I am taking all next week off of work and focusing on my family and enjoying our time together. So, it's unlikely that I will be posting. I might be able to get on and post a little, but just in case I don't, now you will know its because GOOD things are happening.

Much Love to Everyone!!

Here are a few recent pictures of Noah:

He's SO cute when he's sleeping. Look how he snuggles his little teddy.

He love's playing with his toys.... and his tongue.

He didn't like the flash from my camera.

Isn't he the cutest EVER!?!?!
