Brothers

29 Jun

We got kicked out of our hospital’s NICU (once you outgrow size 1 diapers you are forced to graduate) and landed in the pediatric ward.

I miss the coziness and attentive care of our little NICU, but one perk about the pediatric ward is…

They are a little less strict about sibling visits.

Guess who got to finally meet his little brother??

After 3 long months…Checking to make sure his brother has all ten toes.  This is important.This little guy has found his new best friend.

    Ohhhhh! I cried buckets! I am so happy for your little boys! :) I have two boys (2y4m and 4m) and they are just the best of friends. And look at that smile on your baby’s face…he is smitten with his new brother, and vice versa :) <3

    How WONDERFUL for all of you, but especially the two brothers. I can’t tell which one is
    happier b/c they both are all smiles. First of many special moments to share in their
    lives. YEA!

    I can’t tell you how happy that made my heart — the look on his face when he sees his baby brother is priceless — and yes they WILL be best friends FOREVER. I know I don’t respond to every post on every blog I read but I just wanted to let you know that I say a silent prayer each time I get an email update from you. God Bless all of you. :o )

    Loved this sweet post! The Happy Buddy’s excitement is priceless! Praying for you all in the pediatric ward and for the Happy Baby to keep growing!

    Brings a smile to my heart and face, I am so happy for you. What a precious time. Of course, I could not write this without saying it brings back memories for me, of the first time Josiah met Jonathan, at the hospital he was ever so much as happy as Happy Buddy, then when he got home, his first reaction was one of “what is that baby doing in my house”. He got used to him real fast and was glad for a brother to have around and play with him. Still looking forward to meeting the Happy Baby in person. I get to kiss those cheeks off. :)

    Julie, I can’t help but notice the adorable little roles on Jet’s thighs. Looks like prayers are being answered in Baby Jet gaining weight. I am so thankful and touched that you and your incredible Hubby continue to share this experience with all of us. We have all been blessed by the sparkle in each one of your eyes and hearts, even Noah’s. May God continue to be shown in this Glorious Healing of Jet. I am leaping for Joy. Love you, Jane

    It’s amazing how much they both already love each other! Definitely made me cry to see how THRILLED Noah was to finally meet his baby brother–and that delighted little grin of Jet’s is priceless. Praying, praying, praying that he will get to come home soon! Drink up, little guy!! Love you!

    I don’t know if you have time to bother with awards or not, but I just nominated you for the Mrs. Sparkly’s 10 Commandments and the One Lovely Blog Awards anyway!
