you know how when you're a little kid, and you get it in your head and in your heart that you're going to soon have a great experience (go fishing, get a doll, eat grilled cheese)? and then, you know that feeling you get when you realize you're out of cheese, or your mom got you a slinky instead of a doll. that's the feeling bethany and i have tonight after not being able to hold conley. they had just admitted a new baby across the aisle from him and things were just too busy. plus, he got kind of fussy anyway. the upside of that was that bethany got to do the mom thing and did a great job of calming him and giving him his binky. when mom's hands were in the isolette, baby was happy. so, we wait a little longer. he seems to be pretty bugged by the big oxygen prongs in his mouth and his belly is quite round. however, he's doing okay and is tolerating his feeds. we're praying that his oxygen settings get good enough that he can go off the bubbler. that will give his nose a rest. anyway, we love you all. thanks for your love. God is teaching us true patience, true trust. one day at a time.

Hiya...this is Nikki, fellow sanfordian churchgoer, and mama thats had an intensive care baby. Martin and I met Ty about a month ago at RofL...Anyways our family little ones included have been lifting up your babe, and Bethany since then, and I was trying to find an update and stumbled on your blog through your myspace.I see that Conley arrived and is being sustained by Jesus! congrats!..Someone shared this verse at church on Sunday and when I read your post I thought of you "He will feed His flock like a shepherd: He will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in His bosom, and will gently lead those that are with young." Isaiah 40. I will pray that you will get to share gathering Conley in your arms and bosom with Him soon! I know the yearning can be excruciating. I look forward to meeting Bethany and Conley.
