I wasn't kidding a few posts back when I mentioned a lot has happened in the past few months. Two wonderful, MAJOR things...someones...have happened and they are the miracles I want to discuss. First up (because he came first even though he wasn't supposed to!) is my very first nephew, Tyler. He came 7 weeks early amidst many health complications for my sister-in-law. He stayed in the NICU for 24 days but he has been a little champion and progressed so well, mom too! He is now home and last report I heard he is doing well! He was only 3 lbs 4.5 oz when he was born, so little. Here's a little picture of him after awhile in the NICU, holding his daddy's (my brother) finger.
Look at that tiny hand! Doesn't it just melt your heart? Emery and I were obsessed with pictures of him, we would look at them together every day and she would pray for baby Tyler in every prayer. My favorite thing is how much he looks like my brother. It makes me laugh--I just feel like I'm looking straight at a mini-Matt!
The next SUPER WONDERFUL miracle is yet another nephew, please welcome Baby JJ!
Here he is, asleep on his daddy's lap. This is Michelle and Joey's brand new baby boy they adopted. The opportunity to adopt came like a whirlwind--just 6 weeks before the baby was born they flew back to Idaho to meet with the birthmom and now--BOOM--they have a perfect little son all their own. I am in LOVE with this little boy and I haven't even met him yet. But every picture I see (and believe me, I see a lot and I comment on every. single. thing. they post) he is smiling and responding to them. He is a much awaited and much anticipated part of their family and they are all so lucky blessed to have each other.
I am so excited to meet them, and have Emery see them. She LOVES babies and we talk about them and look at pictures so often that I'm excited to watch her with them in real life. Two nephews in a month. I am the happiest aunt around!
I've been planning a post very similar to this. We are definitely blessed!
