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.

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)

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. 🙂

I am so thankful and touched that you and your incredible Hubby continue to share this experience with all of us.

I’m emailing this post to my mom (a former NNICU nurse) so she can rejoice and cry with 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!
