Going home, growing, and PEACE!

Well we are going home today, to my house that this. I've spent a lot of time this week over there cleaning and getting it ready. I didn't really have the time or energy to "nest" before Mason got here, so I've been in overdrive somewhat getting everything ready to go home. It's been nice being at my parents house. My mom would get up with Mason during the night too, so I wouldn't have to do it all by myself and I could get some rest. We're going to spend our first night over there tonight and see how it goes, and then the kids will be home sometime tomorrow. I can't wait to see them, and hug them!!! It would be three weeks on sunday since they've been home. (I don't really count the couple of hours they were here last week) That is a long time!!!

Mason continues to grow and he is doing awesome! He's still pretty skinny, but he's getting a double chin already, and he's eating great, so I know he's okay. I haven't had any problems with him...he is just a great baby. We go to the doctor for his first baby checkup, so I am anxious to see how much weight he has gained and what the doctor says. To me, you can't tell that he looks or acts different than any other baby. I think the time in NICU just got him stronger and healthier. I can't get over how cute he is. We're having his pics done next week, so I will post them. He had changed so much already.

Other than that, life goes on as usual. It's been an interesting week for me. I've mentioned before that sometimes I feel like I live in the twillight zone. Well there have been a few occasions this week where I found myself there, but I think it's just all part of this process of me moving on. And I will have to say, how refreshing it is to have the confidence in knowing that God would never lead me somewhere to hurt me. I remember other times in my life when I questioned what God would want me to do, or if a situation I was experiencing was from God...but I have learned so much about the nature of God through this, that I don't question it anymore. I may not understand it, and I may not understand the role I am playing, but I do have full faith that God is with me and would never leave me or forsake me...and furthermore has a great future for me. That gives my heart such wonderful peace. I hope you all have a great weekend!
