I was so blessed to have non-stop help since Elliott was born, but as of tomorrow, that is all over. :( Jerel had a week and a half off and then my mom came in for a week and flew back to Florida this morning. The help has been amazing, and I have to admit- I am a bit nervous about Monday when I have to fly solo. I keep reminding myself that people do this all the time and that I will successfully keep both children alive and most likely not loose my mind in the middle of it all. Every time I find myself getting anxious, I really try to claim different verses that promise the Lord's sustaining power, strength, mercy, and presence. This helps. I also know that I just have to take it all one day at a time. I'll keep you posted on the craziness.
My mom and the babies
I look ROUGH (as to be expected after being up every 2 hours all night) but Nolan was being so sweet as we colored.

He will provide that minute by minute strength - I'm praying for you and cheering you on!
I think you look hot in the last pic! Praying you remember that keeping two other people alive all day is a feat in itself.
Yes, one day at a time is all we can do friend. God is definitely teaching me that I NEED him ALL the time and that I cannot look beyond, but only in the present. It is really hard, but really gets better everyday and I praise God for the sweet moments and try not to focus on the crazy ones. love you friend and pray often for both of us! Love you, dana
It will be tough...but you will survive. God will give you the strength and mercy to get through the tough minutes/hours/days. I also highly recommend asking for help when you need it. Get a babysitter to come for a few hours in the afternoon during the witching hours. That was HUGE for me!!! Nolan is so cute and you do not look awful in the pic of you two!
