Tears of joy falling for you three. You are so blessed. Praying for God's blessings to continue to pour down on you and your beautiful family. God's love and peace, Amy
How wonderful! It's so great to see pictures of you all just relaxing together, no wires attached, no beeping from the medical monitors, just lovely the sounds of a baby :)
That was fun. You probably have observed this - you guys are going to fall harder and harder every single day - even though its hard to believe it possible to fall harder than you have. Enjoy each second!
That video was great! You all look like you are really enjoying family time. Thank you for sharing. I hope the yard sale today is a blast. I wish I lived closer.
Enjoy your blessings and all the beautiful moments that are in store. The smiles, still and quiet night feedings when it's just you and baby, all those firsts that will bring so much joy and wonder. You'll see Gods wonders anew daily in your daughters eyes.
Ohhhhhhh, tears! I love how playful you all are with the crying pics. Just watched and thought about Tricia's prayer for a miracle. God DOES answer the desires of our hearts!
What an amazing video! Gwyneth is so adorable! She was certainly wide awake and aware of her surroundings...priceless! I loved the funny faces at the end of the video. So glad the THREE of you are HOME! God bless you all.
I'm glad you 2 and a baby don't have to wait anymore, but during your waiting it sure taught this person a great lesson that I'm still processing because I can't find the words to speak.
perfect perfect! its so good to see gwyneth as a participant in the silly photo ops now! i know i don't have to tell you to enjoy it! what else can you do? much love to all 3.
Our God is an AWESOME GOD!! How wonderful for your family to be all together at home! What a feeling! You have all been in our prayers since the first time that I saw your blog! And to say that in the last 6 months I have come SO MUCH closer to God, now that would be an understatement! This is just one way that the Lord shows is amazing works! I will forever keep your family in my families prayers! Thank you so much for letting all of us in on your journey. It will forever leave a mark in my heart! God Bless
What a wonderful day! I'm sure that it hardly feels real to you, but I know it's a relief.
Our son was in the NICU when he was born--not as long as your little one--but when we brought him home, we just laid and looked at him too! Your pictures reminded me of that.
Praise the Lord for his wonderful works in your family.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey home with us! I feel so privileged to have shared it with you Nate and Tricia. I'm a mom who twenty six years ago had complications due to other genetic problems not cf.So my first son spent lots of time in Nicu as well as the step down unit. I remember what coming home was like with just the three of us. So enjoy Tricia and Gwyneth.Blessings to all of you.
What a amazing story you have and you are blessed beyond words and I am so happy for you and Tricia that your family is complete and all together once again.
I came across your blog form my "mom" MB and have been extremely engorged in your daily psots and your amazing story of good faith, hope and love.
I wish you the best for whats to come and much happiness, enjoy your sweet baby girl!!
that is so precious!!!! thank you so much for sharing! i can't get over what an amazingly short time it has been since Tricia's surgery and you just cannot tell by looking at her all that she has been through! you look Marvelous!!!!:)LOL Gwyneth is getting so big!!! such a beautiful White Rose she is! thank you! makes me smile thinking of all the "firsts" you will be sharing with your cute bundle now that you are "home"! continuing to pray! jen in al
Nate... what can I say..Beautiful, Charming, GREAT...Love the way you time the lyrics with the appropriate photos...but above all its just wonderful that the whole family is home at last.
I'm sure there will be more of these video's of the three of you and I can't wait to see them!.
Quite possibly the best video of three people sitting around looking at each other that I will EVER see! It's just incredible to have witnessed what you have gone through and where you are now! Enjoy another day of sitting around looking at each other (wink!)
I am so very happy that things are going so well for the 3 of you, God does work wonders, you all are living proof of that, Love and hugs from an Ohio Mom of 4
wow--what an AWESOME God we serve! it's beautiful to see HIM soooo clearly evident in your lives! your 2 girls are truly a testiment to how great a God we serve. sometimes we forget His awesomeness i think.
the fun of parenthood has begun and i'm sure you can't wait for all the craziness that entails! really makes me stop and think about every day being a gift from God and to stop and see the beauty in the little details of life! ....from the funny and amazingly insightful things the girls say, to being brought breakfast in bed on mother's day at 6 a.m.(bowl of cereal on a tray) by my 7 yr. old and having to muster up "hunger" at that hour so as to not hurt her feelings! :) that what makes life worth living, doesn't it??
It is totally amazing how your lives came together this year. Whether it was an act of God or just the luck of life, it is beautiful.
Do you order prints of some of your gorgeous photos? It would be good to know that when technology changes, Gwyneth and Gwyneth's grandchildren will be able to enjoy copies in a form that is timeless.
well Nate, yet another post that has me bawling in front of my computer with feelings of complete and utter amazement at the miracle of seeing you and your girls just "being"... i am totally and absolutely stoked out of my mind for you all... love j
Its hard to believe you three are home together! I've been following your journey since January and I am always encouraged by your faith in our Lord and am so thankful that He has brought you three so far!
The video was a little blurry from the tears in my eyes! Of all the pics you've posted of Gweneth, I've never seen her this happy. There is a brightness in her eyes that speaks joy and contentment.
Simply put, awesome! What a sweet treat that you shared with us. Thank you! Karen et al Vancouver, BC Canada PS my girls are sad because they think the blog will be over! I reassured them that there will be updates! I told them the journey has just begun! Hope there are many more beautiful updates!
Beautiful video! I am so happy for the three of you. Hard to imagine that Gwyneth is already over four months old and this is the first time you are able to be alone together as a family. Very generous of you to share such a special day with us.
That was awesome!! It looks like Daddy needs to shave that beard off so Gwenyth has some nice soft skin rubbing on her face!! Which brings me to my next question, have you ever been without facial har??
How fantastic to see the three of you together without any tubes, hospital gowns, masks, etc. You are such a beautiful family! Praise God for his wonderful miracles!
Thank you so much for putting yourselves out there and sharing this journey with us...strangers in cyberspace/brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm sure at times, it has not been easy.
I just want to encourage you both. You've made a difference in my life and faith.
Thanks to each of you - Nate, Tricia, & Gwyneth for allowing us the privilege of praying ongoingly for the three of you ...and your willingness to share with us this moment.
To all the moments the three of you have yet to share!
She's so beautiful, congrats! It's great to see her without the feeding tube and tape. Steph is working so it's just me and Abby hanging out together. We just finished watching the video...it brought a tear to my eye and made Abby say "lalala aaahheeee!"
Nate and Tricia - I'm so glad that the three of you can share ordinary moments such as these!! Its all those ordinary moments that make life extraordinary!
Praise God for all he is doing in your lives, and for the marvelous works of His hands! I feel so privledged to have been able to read your blog and pray along with you.
Wow, I remember when I would see the pictures of Gwyneth and I was just aching for her to get all the tubes and tape off her face, I was so worried about her skin. Lol. Now I just see this little baby, getting loved on by two of what must be the happiest parents in the world, and all that other stuff seems like a far off dream.
Whenever you guys disconnect the rest of the world from your lives (if you ever do, which, I imagine, soon, your daughter will be keeping you very very busy)and go back to being a normal family +1, I hope you know, you will have touched my life forever.
These joy filled family moments are what we've all been waiting for!!!Thank You all so much for allowing us to share your joy! Blessings from Illinois, Michelle
This video is AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us & will continue to share your journey with all us so we can travel with you & see Gwyneth grow. God Bless You Three! Bonnie Meyer Washington, Missouri
Praises to the Lord - what an awesome God we have that He gives us blessings more than we can even imagine! I'm blessed to hear you are Home! Praising with you!
Thanks for posting such special moments! Oh, how we have been praying that you would get to this "beginning" . As always, praying for you and your families. Aunt Nancy, Uncle John, Daniel, and Paul
I am in tears of joy! Unbelieveable that a young couple and a tiny baby I've never met could affect me so. I guess prayer just does that. Draws you into lives outside of your own and expands your world. I'm SO glad both of Nathan's Girls are home. Praise God on high!
you are so blessed, what a beautiful family. I told everyone I know that has heard of your story that you are all home. Just truly amazing..thanks for sharing your life with us!
WOW!!! I am so excited for you all. Now, remember to...no, I don't think you need any advice. Enjoy her and remember you are her mommy and daddy, so you know what is best for her. Have fun...the NICU Nurse...
Hahaha, lol, the last several photos made me laugh with all of your silly faces including Gwyn crying and you guys imitating her. I'm just soooo happy for you all being together at home. You three look fabulous together as a family! It is precious seeing you three snuggled up and comfy. Gwyn is adorable as ever and she still looks cute even when she cries, which is a first as I haven't seen any pixs of her crying before. :-)
Looks like all is going well. How is Gwyn feeding and sleeping (especially through the night)?
I LOVED THIS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US!! I am so grateful to our wonderful Lord that you are home together and happy. I have been consistently encouraged by your faith and trust in the darkest times. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many of us.
It's so amazing to me how I can feel such joy in my heart when I see these private moments of people I have never met. You are such a BEATIFUL family and my heart feels so full when I think of the amazing miracles God has performed in your lives!!! I loved this post and look forward to more! Thank you for letting all of us be a part of your journey!! Tricia, you look gorgious!!!!!!! ~Erin North Carolina
WHAT A TRUE BLESSING YOU HAVE!!! Your family is gorgeous! Watching that video makes me think of how my husband is with my daughters! The bond that girls and their daddy's have is PRICELESS and I see it is already great with you and Gwenyth. May God continue you to be with you and Tricia as you are facing parenthood on your own now. It is the most precious gift we could ever recieve: CHILDREN! Have a BLESSED day in JESUS!
I have been following your story since early January and watching this video just brought me to tears of thanksgiving to God for His abundantly outpouring of miracle after miracle for your family! Gwyneth Rose is so blessed and it is a joy to watch you all in such precious tender moments of your life! Thank you for being so forthcoming in sharing all you do because you bring HIM abundant amounts of glory! God Bless! Lisa in Austin,Texas
What an amazing feeling to all be together and home. She is beautiful. We have been thinking of you and it is funny when we are at the clinics for Randy's appts and x-rays I keep my eye out for you guys......... KEEP SMILING.........
I've been reading your blog for quite some time and always log off feeling inspired and blessed. You have such a beautiful family & you are truly the faces of a miracle from God. I am so happy that you're all home together now. I look forward to following your story for years to come. Thank you for letting all of us into your lives!
I just finshed reading your whole story and I just want to let you know how inspring (sp) the three of you are to me. Tricia, you make me strive to be a better mother to my 2 year old son. I think that if you have gone through all that you have then I can definitly handle a few tantrums every day. And the video of the the three of you finally "home" together.....it touched my heart. That is the way it should be, mama, daddy and baby home together with no doctors, nurses, or machines to worry about. I am so very happy for you!!
I just keep watching and watching and watching. Absolutely gorgeous family. Praise God for His goodness. And... thank you for sharing your beautiful girls with us.
I have loved watching this miracle unfold everyday! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. I know it has taught me a lot about life, faith, God and miracles! Congratulations on you beautiful family!
So perfect! I laughed at those last few pics where you were making the silly faces. I reminds me of what i do whenever Eli (my son) is crying and i just make silly faces while i pretend to cry with him. It usually gets him to stop his fit for a bit. :D
What a joy to see you looking like nothing but a normal little family! Can't wait for you to get back to your real element and truly settle. Lori in VA
What a beautiful day! I am so glad that things are going so well for you 3! Such a beautiful family! God is faithful. Thanks for such a tangible reminder.

ReplyDeleteThey say the best photos in life are the ones where the photographer is in love with the people/objects in the lense.
ReplyDeleteThese were hands down the best photos.
I bet Gwyneth is thinking ... So this is what home looks like? Those crazy people who came to visit me everyday loved me so much they took me home. :)
So thrilled for you.
The most beautiful family...EVER :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you.
Beautiful!!

ReplyDeletethat is so beautiful. i am so happy for the 3 of you!
ReplyDeleteIn one really BIG way you must be incredibly aware of the fragility of life and the seriousness of your responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteIn another way, you might feel that you just robbed a candy store.
Enjoy the candy. :)
Prayers for you three continue.
This almost made my heart explode.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful family and all being home together!
Perfect. I wonder. Does Tricia ever get tired of posing for pictures? Does the White Rose?
ReplyDeleteThis video is SUCH an answer to prayer, is it not? God is good-- beyond words.
wow.... so happy for you three!

Gwyneth's little cheeks are going to get worn out with all that kissing!!! (I know, you have LOTS of catching up to do...)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being "home" together....next stop, the OBX!
Congratulations on getting to take your little girl home. What a lovely viedo.
ReplyDeleteI am in tears of joy! Unbelieveable that a young couple and a tiny baby I've never met could affect me so. I guess prayer just does that. Draws you into lives outside of your own and expands your world. I'm SO glad both of Nathan's Girls are home. Praise God on high!

Hahaha, lol, the last several photos made me laugh with all of your silly faces including Gwyn crying and you guys imitating her. I'm just soooo happy for you all being together at home. You three look fabulous together as a family! It is precious seeing you three snuggled up and comfy. Gwyn is adorable as ever and she still looks cute even when she cries, which is a first as I haven't seen any pixs of her crying before. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like all is going well. How is Gwyn feeding and sleeping (especially through the night)?
Thanks for sharing and take care,
Marissa :-)
Hooray for finally being able to be "home" as a family! Praise God!

ReplyDeleteWHAT A TRUE BLESSING YOU HAVE!!! Your family is gorgeous! Watching that video makes me think of how my husband is with my daughters! The bond that girls and their daddy's have is PRICELESS and I see it is already great with you and Gwenyth.

ReplyDeleteSo perfect!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at those last few pics where you were making the silly faces. I reminds me of what i do whenever Eli (my son) is crying and i just make silly faces while i pretend to cry with him.
It usually gets him to stop his fit for a bit. :D
What a joy to see you looking like nothing but a normal little family! Can't wait for you to get back to your real element and truly settle.
