Our Visit With Baby Brock

Dustin and I went with Jenn and Ryan, the new Mommy and Daddy, to see Baby Brock yesterday afternoon. What a visit we had! Jenn and Ryan were able to hold Brock for the first time yesterday and we were able to be there for their moment. Only two people are allowed in the "pod" to visit Brock at a time but the nice nurse allowed Dustin and I to be in there with Jenn and Ryan for 2 minutes. I took the first family picture and how sweet it turned out.

Brock just amazes me everyday. What a strong little guy he is. He truly is a little miracle and oh so cute. He was stretching and opening his eyes looking at Jenn and Ryan. A couple of times he started to cry because he wasn't happy with everyone messing with him.

It is crazy for me to think that he was born a little less than a week ago at roughly 10-12 weeks early. It was such a scary time last week when we found out the Jenn was in labor and was going to deliver. We just didn't know what to expect. We knew that Brock was going to be little and that he was going to be in the hospital for a while, but Brock came out screaming and fighting and hasn't stopped since.

I don't know a lot about premies but from what I have heard from other people and their stories, Brock is doing just fine! He doesn't have a lot of tubes and wires at all. In fact, it seems that every day they are taking him off of one thing or another. He even was able to eat through his feeding tube a bit yesterday. I thank God for Brock and for how well he is doing.

Please continue to pray for Brock and his Mommy and Daddy in the weeks to come. Please pray that he will continue to progress as well as he has been and that he will grow to be strong and healthy.

Did I mention how sweet he is?! : )
