Of course, on the day when I want to say so much, I have no time to say it! Ultimately, there is only one thing that expresses how I feel and it's found in the Psalm I read the day Will was born.
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield to for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." (Psalm 18:30-32) 
Through our moments of deepest pain to this day of one of our greatest joys, God has been and will be faithful to us. 
We continue to pray for the three things we've prayed for over the last month: that God would give us strength for today, that we would be at peace with where we are when it comes to Will's progress, and that we would have wisdom as parents to our children. 
We've seen amazing things in the last two weeks as far as Will's ability to eat on his own. Someday I hope to relate the story of the last 10 days in particular as we've watched the Lord move people and details into place for Will's successful homecoming. We are still monitoring his intake and weight gain but we are hopeful that he will continue to take all of his feeds orally.

Thank you for all of your prayers and your continued prayers as we begin the real work!
He is amazingly cute. He loves to coo and snuggle. He's finding his hands, likes to grab our fingers, kicks himself out of his swaddle and is VERY tooty (it's hilarious). He is having more awake time and it's fun to see him looking around at the world. He’s surpassed the 7 pound mark-- he's actually 7 pounds, 10 and a half ounces. His cheeks are chubby and he's getting fat on his legs. We are excited to bring him home, get to know him and integrate him into our family life. We can't wait to see who he will become.
He met his Grammy Chris for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He impressed her with his nursing skills taking the most he ever has while she was visiting him. We were so glad she stayed with us, watched Libby, did tons of laundry, snuggled Will, and grocery shopped. We've missed her last couple of weeks!
Between aunts, honorary aunts, grandmas and grandpas, Libby is being spoiled during the day while I am at the hospital. She is talking so much more in this last month. The other day she said, "Hi Nana!" and it was the first time I'd ever heard her say two words together (that we could understand). And now she’ll say, “Bye-bye, Mama” whenever I walk out of the room. She does seem to say "Libby do" quite often but it doesn't sound exactly like that.
Thank you for your prayers for our family. We've been processing a lot of information and accepting the "Wait and See" advice that we receive at every turn. We have no more answers than we did three weeks ago and that has been difficult. Our friends and family have been so gracious in giving us love and space. I know it's not an easy balance but it's what we've needed to work through this new experience.
Of course our prayer is for Will to take his full feedings and be able to come home. We are also praying for wisdom as parents of Libby and Will. It is our greatest pleasure to be their Mommy and Daddy.
