Home

Well, we are home now. It feels weird. We are home where the surroundings are normal. But things aren't "normal". Does that make any sense? I feel like I'm crashing. This whole week, I've been on auto pilot. Not really thinking about too much, just "going with the flow" of things. But now that we're home, I'm starting to think about things. Like, being home tomorrow, alone, with 5 children 7 and under. Oh boy! I must admit, I'm nervous about it. I think it's mostly because I haven't been able to completly process everything that has happened in the last 10 days. And I feel like screaming "Stop! Give me a second to catch my breath before we move on!". But of course, that isn't possible. And some day, my head will clear and stop swimming. The Lord has walked before us trough all this, and I know He will continue to do so. My trust is in Him.

It is good to have Nathaniel home. It took some time to get him here, but he is worth it. So with out further ado, meet Nathaniel.










Thank you all for prayers! They have been heard and, so far, been answered. His journey has just begun.

Congratulations on being home. It was nice to see your pictures. He looks like a very nice baby. :-)

You'll do just fine. I think you will find the older children to be helpful in many ways. I survived having 5 under 5 when my 5th was born...YOU can do it too!

Don't be too hard on yourself as you adjust to your newborn at home. Try to take things as they come and relax. It will make things easier for you and everyone else. Right now it's time to enjoy that baby! Let your children be a part of that. Just celebrate being a family and getting acquainted with Nathaniel. Don't forget to take care of yourself...mandatory rest times! (for everyone) ;-)

Will you have help or meals coming to your home?

My prayers are with you.
grace and peace,
Annette
