::this week::

we have been told that the NICU course is one of 

ups and downs.  and even though we knew this going in, it doesn't make it less emotional.

crosby is doing well, but we have had a few days of setbacks that i think have almost been harder for me than for him.  it is just so hard to see someone you love so much not doing as well as you would like to see.  

thankfully, today has been a better day and he seems more comfortable and many of our concerns from this week have been alleviated.  we are abundantly thankful.

"for i know the plans i have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

-jeremiah 29:11

my parents have pictures of duke as he grew next to a duck stuffed animal.  i remember being amazed by how tiny that duck was and that duke was even smaller.  i thought it would be fun to track crosby's growth in reference to this bear...ryan thinks he is going to open his eyes in his isolette and be frightened. :)

peace.

tucked in and cozy.

thank you all for your love and support.  we have been so humbled and overwhelmed by how overflowing the generosity and love of our friends and family has been.

thank you.
