  8. 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.

  24. 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.

  31. 1 month already! Such a milestone she has hit and with great strides! I just can't wait to see how much she changes from now til next month.

    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!

  34. 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.

    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.

  62. 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!!


    Happy 1 Month Birthday Sweet Girl!!

  63. 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!

  64. 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

  67. Nate,

    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!

  71. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  72. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Beautiful video! Thanks Nate. I'm praying for Tricia to be able to see Gwyneth again and to get on that transplant list!

  76. 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.

  95. 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!!
