A Gift from God
Tonight our little girl was weighed and measured and she’s finally broke the 2lb mark. She’s now 2lbs 2oz and 13.25in long. It’s so crazy to think that 2 little pounds is such a milestone but it really is! I just got off the phone with her nurse for the night and when I told Nikkie we had a nice celebration hug. Next step – 3 pounds!
In other news Nikkie started work back up today. It’s been 5 weeks since she has been at work and man was it a looooong day for her. After five weeks of not working you kinda forget what it’s like. It makes the 8-hour work day that much longer. We’re also trying to figure out how we will visit Brady during the time we’re both at work. I already realized we’ll have to consciously try to take the camera to work and then to the hospital. Hopefully we can get some new pictures up here soon.
I really would love to get more pictures online more often but there is just so much going on. I’m doing my best to work two jobs right now and we’re also considering a move around the time Brady may come home. Life sure is crazy. I wonder if it ever calms down. I’m not in a hurry to find out though. I’m going to do my best to enjoy these crazy days, months and years.
For now we’ll just take this day by day and pound by pound. Until next time…chao.
Brady Faith was brought into this world 12 weeks premature. This was a result of mommy having pre-eclampsia and there being a reverse blood flow to/from the placenta. Brady wasn't growing like she should and it would have just gotten worse. She weighed 1lb 7oz and was 11 3/4in long. To learn more about Brady and her family click here.

How GREAT is our GOD to see our little miracle grow and thrive in his grace. Now the weight should come fast and home is closer everyday. Can’t wait to see my Nikkie hold her baby girl in her arms in her home what a day that will be. I love you guys very much and Brady does to.
God is still our God of miracles
and I praise him daily for them.
Love Aunt Gayle

This is a ‘ditto’ to Aunt Gayle’s ‘How Great is our God’ and I’m going to add, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow”….
I am so blessed to know the 3 of you and to be a part of your lives. I can’t wait until the day when Brady Faith can come home, be strong enough to come to church, and to be dedicated to our Lord and Savior…..
Love you bunches,
“Ms” Ammy

You have such a precious gift from God! I know these days away from your little girl will be trying but God will sustain you. Cling to every treasured second that you have and lock them away in you heart. Thank you for sharing you deepest felt thoughts with us. Nikki, I always knew you were special. I can see that God has blessed you with a loving help mate and a special daughter.
—–In all you ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths…..
Love,
