{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

Joining Like Mother, Like Daughter as usual on a Thursday.

Just one photo this week as a tribute to a very special little boy....



{Pretty}
This little boy arrived last night.  He is a beautiful miracle.

{Happy}

We are so happy that my cousin made it to 33 weeks as it has been a day by day proposition since 26 weeks; and we have all been so worried.    At that stage they learnt that the condition that caused the loss of their last baby was likely to also affect this little boy.  In the weeks since, the Doctors have been walking a tightrope between giving little A enough time in-utero and getting him out before the blood flow in the cord dropped too low.

{Funny}

Nothing particularly funny in this situation - but DH did ask if that was a hat on little A's head!  No, dear its a tube:)

{Real}

He will be in NICU for a while but all the signs at the moment are positive.

To us, little A's safe arrival is clear evidence of the power of prayer.

  3. Prayers for your cousin's baby. My son was born at 30 weeks and now at 11, he's the picture of health. I hope his NICU course is smooth and short. Feed and grow, baby!
