Jonathan Comes Home!

These pictures speak for themselves. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with the Dobbins and Warren families at our house. Deep fried turkey--delicious. We went to the NICU mid afternoon. We arrived home at 6pm on Thursday. We did better last night than Thursday night -- all four us actually slept. While he's been on mom's milk since birth, Jonathan's slowly transitioning back to Julie feeding him instead of the bottle.

Jackson's getting over a cold, so we're having to keep him away from Jonathan. He's better today. Jonathan's monitor has had a few alarms, but most have been false ones. Even if his breathing slows, he gets back to where he needs to be in a few seconds. It's all starting to sink in. We're enjoying Jonathan in all his wonder. If we can focus on the "now'" and not "years from now", we can have a good day.

Please keep praying for our family. We feel it.

Jamie & Julie,

Congratulations on your sweet little Jonathan! I'm so glad to read that you are finally home.

I've not met you, but Spencer & Allyson are my in-laws. Ally sent me a link to your blog.

Julie doesn't look like she could have possibly just had a baby - she looks great!

May God richly bless your family to enjoy the wonder of each new day.

Jamie and Julie,

I'm glad to see from these pictures that Jamie has been practicing his RBF lessons on Jonathan to soothe him to sleep!!! May God continue to bless and direct your family. We love you guys.
