sincere thank you, hug through the screen.

In the past few weeks Trey and I have felt so overwhelmed at how generous all of you blog readers and friends have been. Its been so nice to hear from the people we have, get all the encouragement we have gotten and feel such love. Our families included!

Each of you brings a smile to our face as you tell us you are praying for our baby, or even just "thinking of you!". I wish I could find a way to tell each of you how much it means to us. I could squeeze your neck and most likely get teary as I sincerely tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sickness and negativity have a way of making you feel so alone, we do not feel that way. Every minute I have a down moment, I seem to get a text from a friend or a facebook notification. I think God knows how much it comforts me to know we have an army. I know I cannot do all of this alone.

I will not be able to explain how much it warmed my heart to see all the people who offered their homes in Dallas. The family (I wont say their name) that offered their townhouse 8 minutes from children's for as long as we need it...completely furnished. To have the weight of finding a place to live for 6-8 months in Dallas taken off was enormous. Having family in Dallas is so comforting, but also having a home of our own...a place to bring a screaming precious miracle newborn home..is nothing I could ever think of thanking enough. What a special place: started out as a gift, a place to call "home" after such emotionally draining days, and the first place we bring her home.

London has gotten so many precious treasures from friends. I will remember each one specifically and who it came from. Getting clothes has been so nice because my defense mechanism doesn't allow me to buy them when I see them. I have gotten her about 2 outfits but I buy 3-6 months because I KNOW she will be able to wear clothes then. Until she comes home from the hospital she wont be able to wear outside clothes. Bows and socks not included! She has gotten a few bows from her mama...that I cant resist! Etsy knows me by name.

Here is a picture of this past Friday as I was putting gifts away:

Material things are sweet but you know whats sweeter? Your thoughts, prayers and just being friends. I have been meaning to tell each of you:

1. thank you. I love each of you.
2. this world is GOOD, there are such good people.
3. I hope London will grow up to meet each of you. I want you to see her smile and hear her tell you "thank you"
