I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell everyone hello and let you all know how we are. Jackson is currently the only one of us who isn't still hacking up a lung, but we have been fever-free since Sunday evening now. All the boys are sleeping well, but Greg and I aren't so lucky. We have been taking meds to sleep, but tried without it last night. I got about 4 hours and Greg made it to almost 6! Hopefully we will both be sleeping more peacefully soon!
Please pray for us if we come to your mind! Our emotions are very fragile right now. I have spent a lot of time in tears and I am just over it. Basically, we are worried about making sure our 2 new sons know our love and know that they are our forever sons. They are equal to Jackson. But, since being home, Jackson is having a little bit more of an issue with "sharing". I put this in quotes because it isn't so much a problem sharing his stuff as it is his time with us, especially with his Daddy! So, we are worried about making sure Jackson still knows how special he is to us! It is very hard work! In fact, I have been so emotional that my Momma is going to hang out with me a bit longer. She has been such a wonderful help to us and especially to me!
We are very blessed and just trying to to keep that in mind! We just need a fresh perspective from our Heavenly Father so we can get our minds off ourselves! Thanks for caring and for your prayers!

Hey friend,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting and for sharing how you REALLY are. It occurs to me that you guys were so busy with preparing for your trip that you never had time to prepare for the journey that would start when you got home...and how could you prepare anyway for such a huge change?!? And then to top it all with sickness. So know that you are loved and covered in prayer. Give yourself permission to be a wreck for awhile. We give our postpartum friends lots of grace and so you deserve even more (since you gave birth to 4 and 6 year old boys who don't speak English!) You and Greg are amazing parents and you are giving these boys a priceless gift. So few people would be willing to make the sacrifices you are making for these precious children. And Jackson will be just fine...he's going through transition too (kinda like all first borns but again, even more of a change!). We love you guys and believe that God is glorified with what you are doing...don't lose heart. Much love to you!!
