That is one of the most precious tributes to life I have ever seen! My 18 month old watched with me and kept saying "ahh, baby" while blowing kisses to your sweet Gwyneth. I found your blog a couple of days ago and I truly believe that it was not by accident. I have started praying for all three of you and encouraging others to do the same. I am praying for a miracle for your beautiful wife, for peace and strength as you walk this path, and for a totally healthy baby as your precious daughter grows daily. Thank you for sharing your story, it is a true testament of faith and love. I am inspired by you and your sweet wife.
What a touching video Nate. Memories of the NICU are flooding back to me. She is so precious. What a great father and husband you are to document this for your family. Will continue to pray for your family. Dana J
Gwyneth is beautiful. My 3 year old watched the slide show with me and kept commenting on the "pretty little baby girl". How she knew Gwyneth is a girl is beyond me. I didn't tell her. We are praying for you. Thank you for sharing this special video with all of us.
Thank you for sharing. Thank you Jesus for this precious life you have given Nate & Tricia. May their rose continue to bloom and gain strength each and every day.
In a world completely obsessed with "celebrities" like Brittany Spears, I feel priveleged to be "obsessed" with your little "celebrity", Gwyneth! What a joy! Praise God from whom ALL Blessings flow! p.s. She has her Mommy's hands!
Oh, she is so precious. What a beautiful video - you will treasure this collection in the years to come. Happy 1st month birthday Gwyneth. Keep on growing!
I'm not new to the blog, but it's my first comment to you and your family. I've been following your story since Gwyneth was born and was moved to tears and to humble prayer as I watched the video. I continue to pray for peace, patience, strength, and continued blessings on your family. You are a testament to our faithful and loving God and I look forward to watching the rest of your story unfold.
i really hope you keep this blog up long after you are home. I cant wait to see her grow up into toddlerhood and beyond. It is so neat to watch her grow. Thanks Nate!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GWYNETH ROSE TRICIA & NATHAN, I HAVE NO WORDS THAT DESCRIBE THE FEELINGS THAT CAME OVER ME WATCHING GWYNETH'S BIRTHDAY VIDEO AND NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL AFTER WATCHING IT, YOUR GWYNETH ROSE WILL REMAIN IN MY MINDS EYE FOR MANY YRS TO COME, I KNOW I WILL NEVER FORGET HER, HER BEAUTY, HER STRENGTH, HER GRACE AND JUST HOW FULL OF PEACE SHE SEEMS TO BE, AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT I SEE, GOD BLESS GOD BLESS GOD BLESS STILL PRAYING FOR YOU GUYS AND YOUR FAMILIES L.I.N.Y.
Gwyneth is so beautiful - I see a little of both of her parents in her! No wonder she's so beautiful! : ) And Nathan - great job on the video production. It makes it so much more heartfelt. And Tricia - great job on the baby production. There's no question about whether or not you, Nathan, and God pulled off a miracle baby.
Absolutely beautiful photography! Question: Is Gwyneth back on the ventilator because she's sick, or just tired out? And how are the feedings progressing? Haven't seen you mention that the last couple of days.
Best wishes to you, your beautiful wife, and your precious angel baby. Thank you for your willingness to be so real and share your family's journey with the world.
beautiful pictures. Praying for the 3 of you for health and strentgh. Praying that Tricia gets to be on the transplant list real soon. Gwyneth is gorgeous. thanks for sharing your story. your positive attitude and faith really helps me go through a difficult time as I have a very sick loved one and I am trying to turn to god for help but it's hard. thank you.
How sweet is she??? The video is absolutely beautiful! It's amazing to see how much she has grown in that month even though she's still soo teeny. I'm still continuing to pray for her every single day! My favorite pictures were on Feb 2 (also my birthday :)) and on Feb. 7. The ones with her eyes open at the end were entirely too cute!!
She is truly precious! I loved seeing those gorgeous eyes opened wide! It is so evident that she is getting stronger every minute! We are continuing to pray for you all...I too hope that Tricia is able to see her sweet baby girl on her 1 month birthday...I cannot imagine what she must be going through...not being able to be with her every moment...my own "mothers heart" goes out to her! She has proven herself so strong even in all her physical weakness. She is my hero!
I'm sorry if this is inappropriate but I was wondering if some of the other wonderful people who pray for you like I do could find the time to pray for Ashley Adams who is an organ recipiant (multi organ about 14 months or so ago) and who is critical and described as rapidly declining - the doctors don't know why. Her family are very religious and would welcome all prayers. http://ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com
1st of all Thank you for sharing 1 month of LIFE with all of us strangers. It was a breath-taking miracle to watch.
2nd I don't want this to look like a shameless plug, but as you are celebrating 1 month, our miracles are celebrating ONE YEAR. It's been incredible....If it would be of any encouragement to you to see our NICU pics and how far we've come, check out the link for our 1 Year Video (One Year with Four Miracles) when you get a chance and share it with whomever. I know when we were livin' in the NICU it was always so uplifting to see other babies who had walked our path and could relate to the struggles and joys. We continue to lift you all up in prayers. Our God is Sovereign! Jen (Mom to Quadruplet Boys) www.murraycrew.blogspot.com
There is power in prayer! Lifting your family up often. We have former 23 weeker that stayed at Duke for 6 1/2 months. Gwyneth is doing AMAZINGLY well. Claim your miracles as you are reaching the world!
She is so precious and beautiful. You truly have a wonderful gift from God.
In praying for your beautiful baby I was reminded of another little baby girl who has had a really long battle physically and has had several organs transplanted. She was home and doing so well and as of yesterday was put back in the hospital and is declining very rapidly. I was wondering if you could put up a post with a link to her Mom's blog where specifics prayer requests are being put. Her blog address is www.ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com
Thank You and I will continue to hold your your beloved ones in prayer.
Wow, Nate! I love it! I'm sure that Tricia does too! My 10 year old, Katie, watched it with me, and couldn't get over how teeny she is! She's beautiful.
How Beautiful! Thank you for sharing yours and Trici's special little girl. May God continue to bless you with milestones, whether large or small. Still praying for you.
That was a great video. My twins were born at 25 weeks and weighed 1.2 and 1.3 pounds. They looked so much like what your beautiful daughter looks like. They are now somewhat healthy little (soon to be)6 year olds. Have faith and trust our God who is sooo good. Hang in there, be strong, be brave. -candice lovett www.ccluv.blogspot.com
I don't remember how I came across your blog, but I now check in on your family every afternoon. The slide show is absolutely beautiful! Happy 1 month birthday Gwyneth. I hope that Mommy gets to come see you again soon.
amazing, this has been an incredible month! thanks for sharing her life. i look forward everyday to what is going on with her and tricia. thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing all you do. We continue to think of and pray for you all constantly. We had the opportunity to share your blog with another praying couple who said they would pass it along to others. Love you guys! God's love and peace, Cousin Amy
She is Beautiful and a wonderful miracle. I bet it was the most amazing feeling in the world when you were able to hold her in your arms for the first time!
Hi Nate and family, I am praying for you and your precious girls. I've never posted a comment but thought that if you haven't seen this cute video of a pug cleaning your computer screen, you might enjoy it. Link is http://cache.valleywag.com/assets/resources/screenclean.swf
It is SO hard to believe it has been an entire month since I began following you, Tricia, and precious little Gwyneth's amazing journey. I love your obsession with her feet. I still love to look at my 3 year olds feet and remember how tiny they used to look in my hand and how tiny she used to be in my arms and now rocking her when she's not feeling well is difficult! I'm so glad you are taking all of these pictures and videos because it won't be long before you too will be amazed with how much she has grown. You and Tricia are already wonderful parents for loving her as much as you do. She is a lucky little girl! We are continuing to pray for Tricia and Gwyneth. I especially pray that Tricia is well enough soon to endure the transplant surgery. Happy 1 month Birthday Gwyneth and Congrats Mommy & Daddy for another milestone with your beautiful White Rose!!

Girls are fighters, and it seems that lil miss Gywneth has certainly inherited her mothers fight genes!
Very much hoping that Tricia is able to visit her again today!
A picture says a thousand words ... she is beautiful like her mommy! Prayers continue in Nashville. Thanks for sharing and I LOVE that song.
