He's So Cute

We didn't fight game day traffic and stayed home until after shift change. We got right in to see Master Brody and his nurse was so apologetic because she didn't think we were coming in because of the game and she didn't wait for us for his bath. No worries. I'm just glad the little man got clean. Although bathing him is sheer joy, I know it's not his last (until he turns twelve and goes to camp for the week). But we did get to dress and bundle him. He was wide awake for a little while and his eyes looked brighter to both Brent and me tonight. Maybe because we hadn't seen him all day and were having Brody withdrawals. No reports today in his health or care, which can be a good thing. He is the same as yesterday, just cuter.

Speaking of cute.........do you all know Brody's Dad? I love that man, in case you hadn't figured that out. I love him, I love him, I love him!!!!!!! I was thinking of him when I wrote the title tonight. He works so hard for us yet can't wait to see Brody, sometimes I think the only way I'm going to keep up with his long legs walking across the hospital parking lot is to fly, he is so anxious to see his "Man Cub". I feel for him during this because he is so torn between wanting to spend time with Brody and needing to provide for us. He is going to be the kind of daddy every little boy dreams of and every young man admires. So many have said, "Deedee I'm sorry but Brody looks exactly like Brent." Which I am cool with that, I love Brent, and some day some girl will fall in love with the same joyous mischievous grin in Brody that knocked my socks off 15 years ago and still makes my heart do flip flops. Looking like his daddy is a good think cause his daddy is f-i-n-e.

My biggest secret (not anymore) and one true fear is that I will have to live on this earth without my Breezy. (yes Breezy for those of you that don't know Brent's nickname) He is where I turn when I need a problem solved, when I need to vent, when I am sad, when I have something funny to share, when I am hurting, when I am happy, when I want to do something crazy and fun, when I want to rent a movie and eat pizza. He is my best friend!!! I can't imagine not having this marriage, not having this partner, not having this life of joy.

We have met so many couples in the NICU, most of which aren't married. I can't imagine going through this time without my soul-mate. I pray tonight for all of those we have met who need God in the middle of their relationships. These couples may know happiness but they don't know joy, that kind of joy that comes from Christ in a covenant relationship. And there is such a difference. I pray that their relationships become a Christ-like role model for their growing babies.

Okay, so bummer. The picture thingy is down on blogger (picture thingy is the technical word). I had the cutest pic of my two men to share but til tomorrow..................
