Tomorrow?

Thursday, May 15, 2008.

That's the day that Gwyneth Rose is tentatively scheduled to become the full responsibility of Nathan & Tricia Lawrenson.

She's a little freaked out too...

I'll keep you posted...

  11. Amazing news!!!! You guys are living proof of the power of prayer...

    ReplyDelete
  12. YEAH!!!! That is great news! Congrats. My advice (like you need any from me) that is definatly a day to take a break and not blog, just enjoy each other and having your whole little family together outside the walls of the hospital!! Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  13. WOW.. what we've been praying for for so long!! God is truly amazing, and so are the nurses and docs at Duke, and your little Gwyneth. What a strong little girl she is. I am so happy for your family!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Praise God! What an exciting and overwhelming time for you. You are all in our prayers for a joyful transition. The pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

  15. How exciting!! Don't worry, all new mommies and daddies are nervous the first time they are left completely responsible for a tiny baby...just think of it this way: you've gotten (in some cases) up tp 4 months of practice holding, feeding, bathing, and changing diapers...that's more than most new parents get!!

    You two will be great, I'm sure!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Tomorrow?? That is GREAT!!! You will finally be home with both of your girls, that is so AMAZING and EXCITING! Will be praying that tomorrow is the day and everything goes well!!!

  17. Exciting!!!!! Congrats! I'm sure you guys will pick up the responsibilities in no time-- ya have to! ;-)

    Soon enough, you three will be back home in the OBX and it'll be interesting to see how Gwyn likes the ocean! :-D In the meantime, Gwyn can keep you company while Tricia does her PT!

    Really relish in her discharge day tomorrow and don't blog! :-)

    Hugs,
    Marissa :-)

  18. Ready or not... here she comes!!!!!

    That's just fantastic... see... she was waiting... Mother's Day was special already... so it didn't need to be 'shared' with 'emancipation day'... and Tric's birthday was special already... so IT didn't need to be 'shared' with 'emancipation day'... so now Gwyneth gets her OWN special day tomorrow!!! What an exciting week, and yet another answer to millions of prayers.

    Still praying, praying, praying.

    ReplyDelete
  19. How exciting!!! I hope everything goes just as it supposed to & your sweet little girl gets to go home tomorrow! Won't it be wonderful to get to have her all to yourselves....I will keep watching! BTW, those eyes are so beautiful!!!

  20. Aw, look at that face! I have tears of excitement and happiness in my eyes for you right now! I remember the day we brought our Lily home from the hospital, with her trach and a slew of homecare nurses (after a 6 month hospital stay). It was SO NICE not to have to go anywhere to see our baby! I'll keep your in my prayers...

  21. That is so amazing Nate! I took a little time last night just to go back to "the beginning" and read posts from the end of the pregnancy to shortly after Gwyneth was born (had a little spare "surfing" time last night). I stopped at the first time you held her - how incredible that you're now getting set to take her home for the first time. Oh, how many more amazing "firsts" you'll have!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I can just hear the little squeaks as she sucks wildy on that pacifer, contemplating that possibility! :) What eyes! Sleep good tonight, you two! It may be your last opportunity to do that for awhile!!! :):):)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Incredible. I have followed this story well before lil Gwyneth was born reading about the life changing decisions that were to be made, obviously fearing for both mother and unborn baby's lives. Both so sick, both lives hanging by a thread and then reading how both have extraodinarily pulled through such a tender time is simply amazing. Especially knowing the risks associated with being CF and being pregnant and being so sick and to deliver without choice.... and then to celebrate in Tricia getting her new lungs.... Man having bub finally going home is like the icing on the cake...

    This seriously needs to be made into a blockbuster movie...No joke!!

  24. Oh Happy Day! I hope you have a wonderful NICU Graduation party. I remember when we left NICU we felt sad leaving our friends and other babies behind. But we continued to pray for them. It's fun to keep up with the other families, too. Our hospital hosts a yearly get-together. It's fun to see how the kids grow. Praying for you all!

    Hugs from El Paso,

  25. Wow what amazing news. I am so happy for you and excitied. Love the picture of Gwyneth, and the last you added. She is a beautiful little girl. All the best

    ReplyDelete
  26. How exciting and a little scary! You guys will do fine. All new parents are a bit nervous when they first bring the baby home. Do what your head and heart tell you and you all be will fine. Try not to listen too much advice or you will go nuts trying to follow it all. Lots of love makes up for anything you don't know about babies.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Praise the Lord! Great is our God! I'm soooo happy for the 3 of you! May the Lord give you all strength, grace, wisdom, love, patience, and joy as you bring up this little blessing for Him!

  31. woohooooo! cute pic.

    ReplyDelete
  32. YAY!!! So excited for y'all!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I know how much you guys LOVE unsolicited advice, so I won't tell you that Tricia might possibly cry A LOT the 1st night Gwyneth is home. I also won't tell you that my husband feels the need to tell EVERY expectant father that we encounter that I freaked out the 1st two nights b/c of my newfound responsibility. I'll be praying for a smooth transition for all. I have no doubt that you both will win The Best Parents of the Year award. I actually think you're already on the ballot.

    Nope, no unsolicited advice here....I know how much you'd hate that. ;)

  34. Very exciting!
    She looks like she is wide awake and ready for some all nighters in that rocking chair.
    Very cute picture!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yay!

    I don't blame you for feeling a bit freaked out. Babies are HUGE... even those that weigh under 5 pounds...

    Much love. And prayers, of course...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Awesome..you two will do great with her all by yourselves! Happy Birthday Tricia!! Just something to let you know-you share your birthday with Mary Kay Ash. She was an amazing, inspiring, faithful woman, and you two seem to share a lot in common. Happy Birthday-I'm sure this is one of the best. Blessings!

  37. I'll be praying for the three of you...it will be quite an adjustment for everyone. but praise GOD!!!!!

  38. That is so wonderful & and an amazing answer to prayer! I'm so excited for you and Tricia...I'll be praying for you all!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Haha - great pic!!

    How exciting for you three! I cannot wait to see photos of the happy family together at last.

    ReplyDelete
  40. My fingers are crossed!!! Can't wait to see a photo of the 3 of you walking out of the hospital. You need to make sure someone takes that picture because it will be the start of your new life.

    My friends baby, the one I wrote about before-born on Dec 31, is scheduled to come home Friday 5/16.

    What a wonderful weekend everyone will have with their babies now at home!!!

  42. Run Baby! :)

    Ok seriously- how cool is that? And frightening. When Kiv was first out, I did miss the nurses...and it was strange to be out of the NICU.
    Good luck! The Next chapter shall began shortly for all three of you!

  43. Yeah !! That is the best news I have heard all day! We brought our preemie home 9 weeks ago and it is wonderful to be a family at home. We were a little nervous and still are but YOU are the PARENTS and YOU always know what's best for YOUR baby! Stay confident - you can do it!
    So happy for you!

  50. Isn't it amazing that they trust you enough to leave when you don't trust yourself? I remember that feeling when taking our oldest home. It goes away quickly. So happy that this day has finally come. I hope that you all enjoy plenty of time in that new rocker. Congratulations! God is good. His blessings are amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Cool, you uys are such a great family. I love the pic of all 3 of you in black and white where Tricia is kissing Gwenyth, that one would get blown up poster size for my wall if it was my family!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. We are so excited to hear the good news. We had to laugh, though, at your blog and picture. You have such a wonderful sense of humor, Nate!!

    Congratulations!!! We will pray that all goes well tomorrow!

  54. That is the coolest! Thanks so much for keeping all of us addicts updated. This will be a big time of adjustment for you, so please pay no attention to the pressure of keeping us readers informed. This is a special time for all 3 of you! What a miracle. Amazing!

  55. WOW! It's one of the most wonderful feelings to know that your baby is about to be "yours"! Are you doing care by [arent tonight?

  56. Awesome! It is such a scary but great feeling to carry your baby out of the hospital after having them be in for so long. I felt like any second they would change their minds and snatch him back.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yay!!! I am so excited for you guys!! What a blessing she is to you both.

    God Bless,

  58. Be soooo glad Agnes is there to lend a hand!

    When you came home it was so great to have your grandmas come by and give your mom a break every now and then.

    I remember your mom having a minor panic when she realized how much she didn't know about babies.

    ReplyDelete
  59. As I sat and viewed each shot of the slide show, tears welled up. This is, of course, an incredible story of your family's journey. But when I saw those shots, I saw the love of God. For who else but an awesome God could draw together two people so obviously destined for each other, despite the obstacles they would encounter? And who else but our Heavenly Father could pour out His love through a precious child, to honor the decision for life made by her parents? And don't you know how much He must be enjoying Gwyneth's personality!! She'll be stride for stride with her father, I'm guessing. And I think it's amazing that though we've barely heard a word from Tricia, she's a beacon for our Savior. Peace and true joy just radiate from her. Thank you for being faithful and stickin' to the plan. And, once again, thank you for sharing with all of us out here. Your next chapter is about to begin as Gwyneth gets "out"; freaking out? -- welcome to first-time parenthood! You'll be great. You have the sense of humor (and faith) that will carry you through. We rejoice with you and continue to pray for your adventure.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Wow! Didnt time fly? I hope that everything goes as planned and you can bring her 'home'! Ours didnt and we got all excited and then had to wait an extra 4 days- but it's okay- they ran some life-saving tests, etc. Do you know if she will be on an apnea monitor or anything? That was ours' issue- so that's why I'm wondering. She looks super cute- and I LOVE the photo shoot pics! YOu guys are just the cutest :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. So excited for you! God is so awesome! I loved the pictures from the photo shoot. Amazing shots and a great birthday/mother's day gift.
    Praying for a smooth transition for you all as Gwyneth comes "home."

  68. I just watched the slide show of you guys - amazing to see Tricia looking healthy and fit - and that little girl....oh my! What a day 5/15 will be. Remember to laugh at yourselves, cause all new parents do some pretty weird things and have some pretty weird thoughts. Write them down! God's blessings continue to show in your lives. How could anyone NOT believe after reading your story. WOW!

  69. Tomorrow?! How exciting/overwhelming! Praying for you!

  75. Tricia and Nate :) God has already given you that responsibility long ago when He chose you two to be the perfect parents to gorgeous Gywneth. She is so beautiful and we wish you all the happiness in the world having her all to yourselves, just like you should. We continue to pray for you all and are constantly inspired by your story and your faith. We are hoping for tomorrow. Much love and prayers,

  80. I've never commented before - I've been reading since just before the transplant due to a link on a Canadian parenting site.

    Tomorrow would be a very fitting day. My son was a preemie who was not supposed to make it - tomorrow he is celebrating 10 happy healthy years. I know how that day feels when you finally leave - it's one of the best feelings ever!!!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Just saw the pictures that Jessica took and I wanted to say that Tricia looks like a natural at this mom thing. What a lucky girl Gwyneth is! She seems most at ease and at peace when her little girl is in her arms. What a true blessing. I am so excited for you guys to be bringing your little miracle home.

    Because of your story I have come to peace with God. Thank you.

  82. Wonderful news! I am sure you are all a bit freaked out at the thought. Blessings as you begin your life outside the walls of Duke Hospital...

  83. Woohoo!!! I remember the feeling...you wait and wait for the NICU to release them and then you start to wonder if you're really ready. You'll have a blast! Congrats!!!

  87. Awesome! When Frankie came home from the NICU, we realized (very quickly) that something one of the nurses told us was very true. "Take care of yourself when she's here, because the NICU is the best (and most expensive) babysitting you will ever get! Enjoy it, man!

    ReplyDelete
  88. So excited for you! May 15 is my birthday, I see in the comments I'm not alone--let's hope it's a super day for you three! Prayers continuing.

    ReplyDelete
  117. That is awesome--I am so happy for all of you! It is a little scary though, as I remember, coming home with your first little one. This was almost 29 years ago for me, and I still remember wondering if I was up to the challenge. So, you're not alone, and you have LOTS of people to physically help and also to give advice, only when wanted! I thought I would never be able to read the paper again or manage to get us both bathed and dressed each day before 5 pm!

  122. I just stumbled here today and you have brought back so many memories of my girls' stay in the NICU this spring.

    Tonight will be the greatest night yet. The silence is powerfully overwhelming after weeks of beeps and bings. It is blissful and beautiful.

    Congratulations on your miracles.

  127. That's so incredible! Congratulations on finally being able to bring Gwyneth home, what a blessing she is.

    My cousin gave birth to her daughter at 27 weeks last September (pre-eclampsia). She was able to come home right around her due date and now is so cute, smart, and strong it just amazes me. May Gwyneth possess such a strong will to grow and thrive.

  135. Wow thanks for the great pics and updates. I love tricia's hair cut and nail color. Tricia, you look like a model mommy!
    Jessica's photos are great. I especially loved the one of you two in the diner where tricia is sitting on the table.
    Good luck tomorrow as you bring your precious baby home.

    Hugs,

  136. I have been reading this blog for a long time, but have never commented. I just wanted to say that this is the best picture of baby Gwyneth yet!

    I am wishing you all the very best, and I have been cheering you all on all the way. You are a lovely little family, and I am so happy that Tricia is getting a shot to be a mom to Gwyneth--what an amazing thing that they have both beaten the odds!!

    I'm sure there are still trials ahead, but I just wanted you to know that someone else is pulling for you guys and wishing you the very best.
