Patience.

You need a whole lot of patience for surviving the first few weeks with three children. They say the transition from two babies to three is easier than from one to two, but that hasn’t been my experience. I felt more in control when I welcomed my second child home. My mind wasn’t as cluttered and my son Eilan was more of an independent toddler. This time around I was awkwardly thrust into being a mom of three. I had no time to gather myself before it all finally happened. It’s like I was sleeping and dreaming of things to come and awoke to a bucket of ice water being dumped violently over my head. My first days of being a mom of three were spent in a hospital room instead of in my peaceful, clean living room. After a while my kids started to grow restless. I became worried that they would feel like they were not a priority. In the end, it all worked out. We made it through that rough start and now we are back home, where I sit and watch them play everyday in my peaceful and clean living room.

Perspective.

The upside to our NICU experience is that my kids were able to transition into this season of change. They knew of their brother. They knew where he was and they had a chance to go see him and then go back home to their normal surroundings. They were given the opportunity to miss him when we left him at the NICU. By the time we took baby home they were well-adjusted and ready to welcome their baby brother home. While there were still some bumps along the way once we finally arrived home, we are a stronger unit after having gone through that experience. I am alive, baby is alive, we are all together and we realize that we are stronger than ever.

Purpose.

I am now learning to accept what happened (my placental abruption, preeclampsia, and preterm labor/c-section) as a part of my purpose. Instead of being bitter or feeling down about my perfect birth story not coming to pass, I embrace what happened as a part of my purpose here on this earth. God wanted to use me and exactly how far my story’s impact will go I may not know until I get to heaven. I just trust that God is using every moment of my life for His good and not one of my tears goes uncounted by my Father. His word says he gives his angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways. No matter what life events I have to go through He will cover me and keep me. All things work together for the good of (me) who loves the Lord and am called according to His purpose. 💙

I decided to do a mini photoshoot with my babies to document their growth.

Despite the many clashes over toys, they are inseparable and their love is so deep. My sweet Eilan & Gisele Fleur.

Today was just about them. They deserve the world and more. They are such troopers and I am so grateful for their lives. Mommy loves you guys to Infiniti and back.
