Stay with me. I have found that my thoughts are way more eloquent than my written words. I think that when they are still in my head, they are attached to all the emotions behind the thought, and once they are written, well, they are just words. I say this because I don’t think anything [...]
One Year
I really can’t believe that it’s been one year since we received the most precious gift that is our baby girl. It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us – at least on this blog – but, rest assured, every day of the last year is more incredible than the last. I’m completely serious. [...]
Five Months Old
Our little Eliana turns five months old today and neither of us can really believe it. We haven’t done a very good job of keeping the blog up-to-date but the reason for that falls under the “no news is good news” category. Eliana has been doing absolutely great since we brought her home on May [...]
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
Greetings, all… People have been expressing their frustration (mild, nothing major – well, I did get that one threat by mail…) over the lack of pictures as of late so I thought I might let you know where you can find some new ones. I’ve abandoned Flickr for now and have migrated over to Picasa. [...]
The First Ten Days
Greetings, all… Jason here. Just wanted to fill you all in on what’s been going on since we brought the little one home. Considering how her first two months went, Baby E has been doing quite well in her first week home and we’re absolutely loving the fact that she’s finally here. That said, she [...]
We’re On Our Way Home
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Throughout the last fourteen days, Eliana has: moved across the hall from NICU1 to NICU2 (definitely a less “critical” and certainly more calm environment), learned her Dad’s food=good philosophy (and, subsequently, gained some much-needed weight), passed a hearing test, passed a carseat test, spent her first night (semi-)alone [...]
National Day of Prayer
I’ve been reflecting on Eliana’s journey this past week and have once again been in awe of the amount of people praying for this beautiful little girl. I wanted to take a minute and share a few things with all of you that have been so wonderful and faithful in praying for her. It was [...]
Big Weekend
We had a really good weekend! First I want to thank everyone that came out or supported us in the March for Babies walk this Saturday. We ended up having 14 people walking for Team Eliana and we raised a total of $630! The weather was wonderful and the rain held off until long after [...]
Looking Good
Our little girl is six weeks old today. . .which is really hard to believe! Things are going so well and we are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately though, we don’t know how far away that light might be. She is steadily gaining weight – currently weighing [...]
Eliana and the March of Dimes
We’re very excited to be a part of March for Babies this year and hope you will join our team! Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. We’re walking because we want to do something about this. As most of you know, Jason and I recently welcomed [...]
