For Tricia

I have been following the story of Nate, Tricia, and little Gwenyth ( www.cfhusband.blogspot.com) now since she was born...or maybe it was a couple of days before. I find myself praying for them, for wisdom with all the medical decisions they must make, laughter, and endurance throughout the day, and I have never met them, and actually probably won't ever.
So this blog is for Tricia.
Tricia I pray you are able to experience this to it's fullest someday when you are tucked at home w/ your man and baby girl!

1. having to ask your husband to make the decision on whether or not you let the baby cry, b/c you've just had to make too many decisions about that during the day.
2. belly laughter
3. peak-a-boo
4. watching her do "laps" in the bathtub at night
5. watching her give kisses to her daddy and deny you those same sweet kisses
6. in turn, when she is ready, getting a full open mouth slobber kiss
7. waking up at 4 am 4 nights in a row only to figure out that if you just would change the diaper before you go to bed you wouldn't have to wake up at 4am to change the soaking diaper and clothes
8. praying over her crib while she sleeps
9. picking her up and rocking her in the middle of the night
10. watching her experience raspberries for the first time
11. seeing the concentration that it takes just to sit up...a skill I didn't know took so much effort
12. watching the love of your life (for me Jason) love on the love that's taken your heart

These are just a few Tricia! God bless you!
