ReplyDeleteYay!!! I am so happy to see new pictures of you holding Gwyneth! Lovely, lovely, beautiful baby girl!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered you yesterday and am hooked on your compelling story.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous picture, especially the nasal canula after cpap and vents :)
J-mom to 29 week preemies, now almost 6
So precious there just aren't enough words......
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. You seem like such a great husband and daddy. Thank you for sharing your life here. I truly enjoy reading about you all. I am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mighty God we serve! He still is in the miracle business! What a bundle of joy you have in your hands!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures. Gwyneth you make me smile. Off to the store with my three year old and as a special treat a donut, just because it's Friday.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are amazing. When she was first born she looked so fragile. Though still tiny, she is really growing and filling out and looking beautiful! I love those pictures! The joy in your heart is evident.
ReplyDeleteNate she is beautiful, I love seeing youwith her and look forward to seeing Tricia with her.
ReplyDeleteNate I know this is odd, but can you please go to my blog and read at least the beginning of todays post? You , your dad and the rest of your family have such a great faith, can you please say a prayer for the family in my post? Thank you so much and God bless you all.
Love, Kristy
O.k., pretty much cuter than the law should allow. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the nose to nose picture!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a nurse take the pictures or do you use a tripod?
She IS cute!!! I love the hats that the hosp. has...I assume some sweet lady knit that one and prayed for your baby girl before she was even born.
ReplyDeleteI Love that first photo of Gyn & Daddy- How sweet! That is enough to give you a great Day!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so beautiful. You look like such a happy daddy...God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a miracle she is. You look like the happiest dadddy in the entire universe. Thank you so much for sharing these new pics of Gwyneth.
ReplyDeleteIt brought back some memories of my boys (they were born at 30 weeks and spent 55 days in the NICU) when they were in the NICU. I went back through all the pics I have of my boys in the NICU and ironically, we have very similar photos of my husband nose to nose with our son Jason.
Isn't it amazing!!!

As a mom, one of the most beautiful sights in the world to me is that of a Daddy who exudes love for his child. These photos are absoultely gorgeous!! Gwyneth Rose is a blessed young lady to have a Mommy and Daddy who love her so much!!!

ReplyDeleteI love the picture on top!!! I agree, the love on Daddy's face is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful little girl. And she's so lucky to have such wonderful parents!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I had to speak at our local March of Dimes event last night about our story and even though I'm SO not a public speaker your story inspired me even more to do my best and luckily it all went great which hopefully means more money raised for saving sweet babies like yours! :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures warm my heart!She is more beautiful everyday and by the look in your eyes she already has her dad wrapped around her itty bitty little finger.
ReplyDeleteOh that is just lovely! Gorgeous :)

That is the teeny tiniest little hat I've ever seen. She just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter.
ReplyDeleteThe love and joy expressed in your eyes is priceless. That picture gives a new perspective to the thought that God holds us close in the palm of His hand.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family you have--so much love being spread around!! God is so good. (((hugs)))
Lisa
WOW! Those are some amazing pictures!! Thanks for sharing.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little girl.....these pictures today show a love that can only come from a parent -- and not just of the earthly parent. God surely loves you and Tricia, Nate, to give you this precious child. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a precious sweet face! So neat for her to have taken off her Darth Vader mask, I mean CPAP! She is going to love being able to look back at all these pictures of herself as a wee, tiny one. I'm so glad she's doing well on the nasal oxygen because we can see her face now. And, thanks for breaking your plan not to blog on Feb. 29th!
ReplyDeleteShe's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that first picture brought a tear to my eye. I think that is one of the best ones yet!! Have a great day having special moments with your girls!

Beautiful. Fragile. Strong. Precious. Tiny. Soft. Sweet. Adored. Loved. Treasured.
ReplyDeleteThese are all words that went through my head as I gazed at those pictures.
How awesome to see your Princess on the canula. That tiny perfect face is wonder to behold.
Thank you for sharing so much of your life.
Daddy's Little Girl - Beautiful!

Having worked in NICU before I know what a miracle she is to be born with so many odds yet doing so well. I also know how awsome God is. We lost 3 babies and were practically on the table for D & C with our 4th after no heartbeat on monitor. They did one more U/S just to be sure at the request of my ever faitful husband and what do you know, God had other plans. The most beautiful little heartbeat you've ever sean. I fully believe that in years to come you will be starring at your little miracle as I do each day.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for you each day!
thanks so much for sharing! sweet sweet baby girl!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, I LOVE her! Just when I think she couldn't be more beautiful... Just like a little butterfly!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! though I am not new to your blog, this is my first comment. I think your story is amazing and have been praying for all of you! My oldest was born @ 31 weeks and even though we too did the ups and downs of the NICU I am happy to say she is a perfectly healthy active 4 1/2 year old. Good Luck!
ReplyDeletemelt my heart!
ReplyDeleteprecious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Simply beautiful. It's hard to tell which one of your looks happier and/or more content!!! Give her a snuggle for us!
ReplyDeleteBe Blessed!

ReplyDeleteyou wanted to know of something special we did today, well i am going to cook my delicious fish tacos for my man tonight. he is getting to play a round of golf this afternoon, and i am having a picnic lunch with my kids outside just as soon as i am done here...
She is so sweet! I can really see she is growing!
ReplyDeletejust precious! really melts your heart! Have a wonderful weekend with your girls!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome moment!
ReplyDeleteEskimo kisses.
ReplyDeleteToo too sweet! Look at her little face. She's beautiful!! These pics made me tear up when I saw them. How wonderful!! She's made such wonderful progress!! Praise the Lord
ReplyDeleteBrianne
She is precious. I know this is under the wrong spot but I wanted to make a suggestion about a song. Whenever I see that tiny blessing of yours or your "how can she still be so dang beautiful after being in the hospital wife", I always think of the song Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan. That would be perfect for them. Tabatha
ReplyDeletewww.minishfamily.blogspot.com
AWWWW those pics are fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is just precious! I have tears after looking at those beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the song by Plumb, "In My Arms." If you haven't heard it, you have to listen to it. What a beautiful baby! God bless!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! These pictures make me tear up a little. You can see in the pictures that she's changing. Is her hair red?
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have recently come to your blog, and though I have not taken the time to read every entry, I have thoroughly enjoyed the parts I have read. I saw you had a contest recently for a song to put on Gwyneth Rose' video. I'm sure you already have it picked out, but I have another song you might like for another time. It is called Welcome to the World, by Go Fish. It made me think of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little peanut, munchkin, rosebud, whatever little name you know her by. Those pictures are so sweet! They capture a good bit of what you must feel when you get to hold her and love her. Nice nice way to end my computer day.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW!!!! What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteAs she grows and gets bigger I REALLY see you in her! Sorry, Tricia! :) Praise God that Gwyneth is doing so great! Yay! Prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family always!
ReplyDeleteWhat a punkin! Gwyneth's cute, too...LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted Nathan. I keep looking even though I know you are not going to post anything else. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly beautiful! And to see her just on a cannula at her age!
ReplyDeleteGOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!
I love the pictures! I just snuggled my own little ones to bed.
Still praying in Newport News.

ReplyDeleteWow! She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your daughter is truly beautiful - in many senses of the word. As I have watched her grow through your pictures the last several weeks, I have been once again struck at our God's handiwork. Truly he is the author and sustainer of life and Gwyneth Rose is beautiful in that she testifies to that in a special way. To God be the glory!
ReplyDeleteAww, Gwyneth is getting so big, and looking so beautiful! A beautiful little child of God ;)
ReplyDeleteJust thought this might be an interesting read:
After seeing the pictures of you cuddling Gwenyth, I was reminded of this story....Apparently, a "cuddle" can go a long way for a preemie :)
