  1. Hi, I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I've been following your blog every single day, but I have not had too much time to comment, as I am so busy
    that I can barely bring my head above water. Nonetheless, you are in my thoughts and my prayers.
     
    I love how you put captions underneath the pictures. They enable me to imagine what your precious one may look like. Because I'm completely blind, I cannot
    see baby Edward for myself, so I can only imagine him. I look forward to the day when I have my own children, and it is going to happen very soon. The
    sad thing is, though, I will never be able to admire their beauty, and I will never get to see them, though, I will more than likely be closer to them
    since I do not have sight to distract me from the inner beauty and the close feelings that can be gained through touching. Lo and behold, Jehovah God is
    awesome, and he will bring me the gifts I desire so much.
     
    If you can, please pray for me because I will have to work hard when I want to conceive, since it will be tough for me to do it due to numerous problems
    with my cycles and the like. I may need the help of IUI or something of that nature. I've been keeping this a matter of prayer before God a few years now.
    If you could pray for me, that would be awesome.
     
    Thanks so much for the reports. Though I do not know you, I feel like I have come close to you through reading your stories. At the end of each day, i come
    here to read to see what new updates you have in store.
     
    One question that I have for you is if the diapers are too big, and if the other diapers irritated him, could he be diaper free? You may think I'm nuts
    for asking this, but there is actually a such thing as a diaper free baby. Babies are aware of their need to void from the beginning, and we know this
    through various signals they give, such as the face of redness and concentration, tell tale squirming, or the noises they make. We have all noticed that
    with other's babies at one time or another. I'd seriously ask about making such accommodations in the hospital, that is only if you are up for it that
    is. It is fine if you wish to keep him in diapers. I just thought I'd throw something out there for you to consider. I know for me, all of my children
    will be diaper free, as I will save tremendously because I do not hav to spend money on diapers, and I will not have to struggle with them to get potty trained when they hit terrible twos because the potty is all they will know. If you are interested in reading about it, check out www.diaperfreebaby.org
     
    Well, I hope that all goes well with you all and that your bundle of joy will develop into a handsome young man. Keep the faith and stay strong. i hope
    you get to take him home soon. Blessings.

  2. Yeah! How wonderful that Grandma Edwards is able to be there with you. That is great! And Grandma..you were able to hold "lil E" too? WOW!

    Our family has been praying for you all each and everyday. Hayden will even look at the blog with me and say, "bebe". Today he recognized Grandma E. Pretty neat stuff.

    Edward is such a blessing for all and is a little miracle. He is such a fighter and continues to be the "TROOPER" that he is every second of the day! 2 pounds! Fabulous! What a milestone! :) Love the "big" diapers! I remember those days looking at Hayden thinking... will he ever fit into that size diaper? HA! Believe it or not Edward will and it will be before you know it!

    I won't keep you all any longer as I see family is there! Misty and David keep smiling and stay strong. The mental, emotional, and physical roller coaster seems like a new ride each day! :) In the end, each ride will have a story to tell. :) We will continue our thoughts and prayers as well as check on the blog daily. We love the daily updates! Take care! :)
