Emotional Ups and Downs

This week has probably been the worst week I have had in months emotionally. I think it set it in that in a few short weeks, little Jillian will be here. With that comes excitement to get to meet her and hold her, but also comes sadness to have to think we have to say goodbye. I have tried my best to stay positive, and to keep my head up, but that is getting harder everyday. This is suppose to be an exciting time---I should be getting her nursery situated, and getting all her clothes washed, folded and hung in her closet and dreaming about what it is going to be like with 3 little girls in the house and how Ellie and Malia would be awesome big sisters---but that was all shattered and we just don't know why?

I know we are so lucky she is still with us at 33 weeks and hope she can hold out for another few weeks, and I know the time we get with her will be wonderful and special and we will treasure it forever. It's just a lot to deal with sometimes....

It will be so wonderful to finally meet little Jillian but it's bittersweet too. I hope these last few weeks go slow for you.

Jodi, I so remember those days. Hold your head high and try to focus on the positive things in life. I am sorry that you are having a hard time and wish there was some way I could take it away for you so that you only had smiles and blessings. I am praying for....This time will go by faster than you want it to so cherish each moment.

Yes, it seems like as the time nears we have to find a little more inner strength in ourselves. We need God's strength. I find myself getting scared and worrying about things...but I know we will all pull through. You, Adam, Ellie, Malia and Jillian are all loved very much and there are many many prayers out there for you!
I love you all so much...I wish I could take all the pain away...
