What a wonderful day for Tricia and you! She looks so precious all wrapped up and pink! Trusting you get a good nights sleep......!!! God WILL continue to take care of your every need.
What an incredible journey you have had, with a fairy tale ending no less...both of your girls healthy and home!! Congratulations! I'll never forget the feeling when we came through the door at home with our first child. You're elated to be home, then there's that moment of panic, like "what do we do now?" :)
I have so enjoyed following your journey the past several months. I wish your family many years of blissful happiness. I hope you continue to post so we can all continue the journey with you!
YAY!! Praise God!!! I am so happy you finally have both of your sweet, beautiful girls, home safe and sound!!! Keep us posted on how things are going!!
What an awesome journey you guys have been through! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and being so faithful with delivering posts everyday - sometimes more than one! :) I bet it's so fun to hold and snuggle her with no wires connected to her, and no noise from the hospital! Now you guys can finally start living as a family - how awesome! I'll continue to pray for you guys, because, in a sense, a new journey is just beginning!:)
We are all so happy for the three of you :) You are finally together with nobody having control over how much time you spend with each other... You have waited for this moment for so long, now we'll pray for a smooth transition to your little family life. We are overwhelmed for you all. Thank you for sharing so much of this journey with us. With love, prayers and hope, Tricia and Clan (N.VA)
WOW!!!!! Welcome home Gwyneth!! Hope Mommy and Daddy have tons of fun with you. (And Grandma too!) How was your first car ride?! God Bless you all Jamie in Texas
Its amazing... I am so happy for all of you....Tonight when you go to sleep (If thats okay with Gwyneth) and you get up in the morning, you don't have to drive to see that baby, you don't have to pass the nurses station, you don't have to pass go and you get to collect that sweetbaby!! :)
Im so excited for you guys. Such wonderful news. May God Bless you always. Im so proud of the progress both your girls have made Nate. God is so good!! Wishing you the best. Cant wait to see more pics. Love to you all.
i am so happy for you. I remember the day i brought the girls home. it was such a special day! today is the first day of the rest of your new lives together! be ready to have many a sleepless nights, now! :D (i remember people telling me that and i used to think, "after all that we went through, i can't WAIT for sleepless nights, i just want my baby home!" ) we'll understand if it becomes a bit hard to update us. do what you are able to do. thanks for keeping us so well informed. much love and prayers to your family
GOD IS GOOD!!!! YEAH!!!! Gwyneth, you look so happy to be home in Daddy's arms!!!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful, restful first night together....with your TWO HEALTHY GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW--this is truly an awesome day!! one you've waited for for soooo very long, i can only imagine. it's been amazing and heart-wrenching to "watch" your life and love story unfolding! God has done so much thru your family and i know He'll continue His plans He has for you. He's already used you mightily to show His love and grace and mercy. It's so much easier to watch His plans unfold in someone else's life rather than my own....wonder why that is? i guess b/c it's painful, but that's part of the pruning process i know--i just don't find it enjoyable at times! loved the pics you had done--truly amazing!
enjoy your sweet little angel at home, safe and sound!! safe in your arms tonight! what a gift and miracle she really is! they all are, but she is truly a special girl, along with her mother!
How awesome to read this! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your personal journey with us the past few months. God is definitely keeping his eyes on you and your girls! Treasure each and every day b/c time goes by so fast!!! Jenny
Whoo hoooo! jumping up and down, crying,smiling, these photos are the money shot!!! This is the day we have all been praying for! This is a day that has had me sharing and smiling all day long the miracle of this journey. Thank-you,thank-you,thank-you for letting us be part of this celebration.
Nate and Tricia, It is hard to believe that is has been 18 weeks already. My family and I are thrilled that you are able to have Gwyneth home. She has grown so much. May this not be the end of your journey with us. I would love to be able to see what she looks like, is doing etc years from now. May the Lord bless you and Tricia as you raise this little one to love and serve the one who created her!!!!
Sending you the biggest of congrats possible! What a journey. Thanks so very much for taking us all for the ride.
I hope it's all smooth sailing from here....aside from the sleepless nights, endless laundry, and realizing you've been walking around in public for hours with baby spit up all down your back :)
How great is our God! You have been blessed abundantly! So thrilled to have taken part of this journey with you. I will continue praying as you enter this new phase of your lives.
Thrilled for you----let the games begin! You think you were sleepy before---tee, hee, hee. It is so weird to see pictures of her outside the hospital! May our Father guide your every step as you begin this new transition. Lori in VA
YEAH!!!WOW!!!AWESOME!!!!AMAZING!!! Just a few words that come to mind! Congrats!! I am so thrilled for all of you. I will continue to pray for you and your family and watch for updates
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another answer to prayer! Doing the happy dance! :-) Praying for your "three commenters" mentioned below. It's always such a bummer when those things happen. :-( It's made me want to quit blogging in the past but I usually come around and pray one more time for people like that and try to remember that hurting people hurt people. I will do the same in this case too though it makes me even angrier you guys have to get it, than it does when I get it. Go figure! Anyways. . . Soooo happy for you guys!!!!!
The pictures say it all! Everyone following your life have been praying for this moment - the beginning of the rest of your lives! Being a mom myself, and having had my trio in the NICU for 8 weeks and not being able to be with them like "normal" moms was very hard, and I am sure Tricia is just so relieved to finally have her baby in her arms. I would just never let go ;)
I've been reading your blog for a while and I am so happy for you that Gwyneth is home! How amazing to have your whole family safe under one roof. Congratulations!!!!!!
oh my goodness. GOD IS GREAT!! WHAT AN AWESOME DAY FOR YOU AND TRICIA!!! you will cherish this day for the rest of your life. i still celebrate the day jack came home from the NICU after 135 days...April 10, 2006!!! Congrats and enjoy. i can't wait to see more pictures of the awesome day you had! hugs lindsay
Remember when you are very, very sleepy- enjoy it! Before you know it, I promise- you will look like your dad, and be bouncing Gwyneth's baby on your knee.
Congratulations! Miracles around every corner. I am so happy that your family has been so blessed. Gwyneth has survived because of all the love that has surrounded her. That's the one thing that medicine cannot provide.
Amazing....what a blessing to have all of you home together. I am just smiling thinking of you all out of the hospital and really living life to the fullest. Your story is one of inspiration and miracles...not one miracle girl but two. Nate you are quite the blessed man.
Take care and kiss Gwyneth for me. Mandy GA www.madelinegracehopkins.blogspot.com
Isn't it amazing how our great God has let his "Rose" bloom to be so beautiful and special! Many more blessings will come from the joy of this little one! You guys are always in my prayers!
And, the doctors told you less than a fifty fifty chance for either of them. Lots of miracles and faith goes a long way congrats I am very happy for you...
I am so so excited for y'all, I can't believe this day is finally here and everyone is out of the hospital! I bet it will be so much fun having Gwyneth home and all yours, have fun!
Congratulations! I remember how it felt when we brought our Steven home on Dec. 17th. He was 3 1/2 weeks old, and only three days before, his birthmother chose us to be his parents. We had three days to get ready; it was so surreal. I can only imagine how you are feeling right now.
Must be like heaven!! :-D So excited for you all and hope y'all get enough sleep tonight, the next night, the following week, month, year, and the next several years to come! ;-)
Gwyn looks sooo content and happy to be home with mommy and daddy! :-)
Congrats and I'm so glad everything occurred the way they did in the past several months to present time.
hey guys, it was so cool when Rich called you this afternoon and we could hear gwyneth crying in the background...i hope the settling in goes smoothly :) we love you guys!
It's a pretty amazing feeling walking out the hospital door with your little one for the first time huh? Congratulations! So glad that all the Lawrensons are healthy and getting stronger. So glad the Lord has blessed your family in this way. Thanks for sharing.
I am so proud for all of you!! Your girls have overcome so many obstacles. God has truely blessed your family!!!! Praise God for all the answered prayers!!!! Enjoy your whole family together! Can't wait to see more of Gwyneth as she continues to grow! Julie from Alabama
God has blessed you in a most special way! Your family is a true example of God working through us and a shining light pointing to Him! Congrats and Blessings on your first night together!
I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now but never comment. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. And I am SO HAPPY for you that you are all home together as a family! I have brought three of my own babies home from the NICU and it is a very emotional time. Enjoy it. Don't be surprised if you catch yourself just staring at your daughter in amazement for extended periods of time. It can be a little stressful at times when you first come home with a preemie. But the joy is overpowering! Enjoy every moment!
Nate, I am so glad for you and your couple of girls. How SWEET is that!
Nate I also want to thank you, I have been revisiting my life and my relationship with God because of the things you have shown me. I don't know where it will lead, but thank you for causing me to pause.
Prayers to God for health and continued improvements.
WAHOOOO!!! I hear you hollering! Now let the frenzy of sleep deprivation, spit up on everything you own, and an overwhelming sense of complete mental confusion for the next 18 years "game" begin -- Thank goodness it's such a "joy-amazing grace-my chest is going to explode from being this happy even if I have no idea what I'm doing" experience, or none of us would ever do it once, let alone again and again! God Speed to you 3 and your extended family.
Praise God! I have tears as I rejoice with you in your double miracles!!! To God be all the Glory! She is amazing enjoy having her all to yourselves without tubes, and nurses. Enjoy you time with your precious family!!!
Welcome to fulltime parenthood! Now the sleepless nights can get hard, but by about two months adjusted, she should be giving you longer stretches of sleep at night. Bask in the beauty of this, it's what we've all been praying for, you, Gwenyth, and Tricia, all home and healthy! Blessings guys! Sarah
A miracle! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!! We will continue to pray for you as you begin "spoiling" your little girl! They grow up way to fast so "spoil" away! God Bless!
Wow, a new chapter in your life is begining to unfold! Keep your eyes set on Him and He will continue to bless your family. Your blog along with these comments have been encouraging to read.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Your family really is a miracle from God and has been a blessing to so many people. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the whole world. May God continue to bless you abundantly! Jennifer steadfastministry.com
I've only just discovered your blog (though Jessica Clare's photography session as I read her blog) and it is wonderful to see such amazing news. I remember bringing our son home from the hospital (he was a 27 weeker, so I much bigger boy than Gwyneth) and it was terrifying and wonderful both at the same time. She is beautiful and I wish all of you the very best. I'll be following your blog from now on.
What more can I say, but bless you all! What a journey you have been on, and I am so grateful that you have allowed us to travel alongside you. Your family is such a beautiful witness to others. I just thank you for allowing us to be there for all your ups and downs that you have traveled over these many, many months. Congrats on being home. Now, the real fun begins! Take care of each other....
What an amazing journey! When you take the time to read over the blog from the past it truly amazes me what God has brought your family through! What an awesome God we have!!!
What an amazing, unbelievable testimony of God's love and miraculous work in your lives. It's been a treasure being able to follow along on your journey through your blog. Blessings to the three of you!
I am a recent reader of your blog. I am amazed at God's Grace and Love He has bestowed upon you and your beautiful family. Thank the Lord for Little Miracles and the chance to raise them in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord"!!! Congrats on having her HOME!!!!
I so remember the feeling of taking my twin boys home and then a few years later another son....the NICU was a place I felt comfortable...but it was nice to be home!!!! Have a wonderful time getting to know Gwyneth better. :)
Oh that's wonderful to see after such a day as I had dealing with doctors trying to tell me what to do with my daughter whom they've never even met! I have followed your blog since before Gwyneth arrived and am so happy your family is complete. Good luck having her home. Hope you can get some sleep!
Welcome Home to everyone!!!! I hope you don't mind but I added a link to you on my blog. I've been following you for quite a while and I'm praying for everlasting peace for your entire family!
God is truely awesome. Your family is a testament to the miracles that are present in our world today. May you continue to be blessed in the days to come. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with the world. Enjoy your little one, she will grow faster than you know. Cindy
Congrats on everyone finally being home!! I remember how amazing it was when I was finally able to bring my Triplets home from the NICU. Enjoy every moment!
May 15th should be declared the Gwyneth Rose Day! I have been reading this blog for several months now and it truly has changed my life. Tricia is a remarkable lady in risking her life, yet being a Christian we all know that our merciful God is the reason for this beautiful story. Millions of prayers have been prayed and God answered! To God be the Glory GREAT THINGS He hath done!
I just found your blog last night and spend the majority of the night reading it. What an awesome GOD that we have. Congrats on having both of your girls at "home"!!
I read every day but haven't posted before. I couldn't resist posting today...congratulations on bringing your baby girl home! I know it is such an incredibly special and emotional day and I am so glad it has finally come for you all! We still celebrate "coming home day" every year with our preemie...All the best to all three of you and I will keep praying for continued health! God is good!
Sweet Lawrenson Family~ My heart truly rejoices with you today as you are finally all home together. God has been so good and I have been so encouraged by your giving Him the glory for the miracle that your lives are. Praise Him! When I came home from the hospital the first time with our older daughter, I was quick to complain in my heart about the difficulties of having a newborn and the huge adjustment that it was. I have been reading your blog since before my second daughter was born, and coming home with her my perspective has been very different from reading about your lives. God has used you to help me praise him for the little things, even the hard things, as they, too, are gifts from above. I am so excited for you all in this new stage of your lives and am praying for a wonderful adjustment to life at home as a family of three. God bless you!!!
Ditto to all the WOOOOHOOOOO'S! That is fabulous! So excited and have enjoyed seeing God's perfect plan unfold right before my eyes. You are such a beautiful family and will continue to be praying for you all! Good luck with you first night home! Oh and I've been praying for your mom today...hope she is feeling better and doing better. Many Blessings
Yeah Baby, this is the moment we have been waiting for! Happiness and good thoughts as you continues on your journey of parenthood outside the hospital! Karen et al Vancouver, BC Canada
Congratulations!!! So glad you are all together all the time now! I thank you for your willingness to share such details of your lives. So encouraging is your story......:0)
Praise GOD!!!!!!!! We will be praying for an easy first night home:) So happy for the three of you ... thank you for letting us share in your joy and journey!
Such joy! I am humbled by the evidence of God's glory in your life and marvel at the grace you and Tricia display in the face of such wonder! I'm so glad Gwyneth is home and hope that your Mom's surgery went well today, too.
What a fabulous day, indeed! Father - thank you for blessing this family. Thank you for providing your safety and your healing power to Tricia & Gwyneth and thank you for using this sweet family to bless your name and glorify you in every word and action. We praise you Father for you are a good God. AMEN AMEN AMEN! SO happy for you guys!

What an incredible journey you have had, with a fairy tale ending no less...both of your girls healthy and home!! Congratulations! I'll never forget the feeling when we came through the door at home with our first child. You're elated to be home, then there's that moment of panic, like "what do we do now?" :)
I have so enjoyed following your journey the past several months. I wish your family many years of blissful happiness. I hope you continue to post so we can all continue the journey with you!

i am so happy for you guys...finaly you are all together.."thanks god" ...i'm still praying for you guys..a kiss for Gwyneth :D
God has blessed you in a most special way! Your family is a true example of God working through us and a shining light pointing to Him! Congrats and Blessings on your first night together!
Congrats on the three of you finally getting to be together outside the Duke walls! She looks very comfy in her Daddy's arms!!
I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now but never comment. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. And I am SO HAPPY for you that you are all home together as a family! I have brought three of my own babies home from the NICU and it is a very emotional time. Enjoy it. Don't be surprised if you catch yourself just staring at your daughter in amazement for extended periods of time. It can be a little stressful at times when you first come home with a preemie. But the joy is overpowering! Enjoy every moment!
Wow! Our God is a great God! Enjoy!
I am soooo happy for you guys!!! She looks so pretty and soft in her blanket!
I wonder how much sleep you guys are going to get tonight??
It's amazing how far you all have come in the past few months!

Nate, I am so glad for you and your couple of girls. How SWEET is that!
Nate I also want to thank you, I have been revisiting my life and my relationship with God because of the things you have shown me. I don't know where it will lead, but thank you for causing me to pause.
Prayers to God for health and continued improvements.
praise God!!!
SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAHOOOO!!! I hear you hollering! Now let the frenzy of sleep deprivation, spit up on everything you own, and an overwhelming sense of complete mental confusion for the next 18 years "game" begin -- Thank goodness it's such a "joy-amazing grace-my chest is going to explode from being this happy even if I have no idea what I'm doing" experience, or none of us would ever do it once, let alone again and again! God Speed to you 3 and your extended family.
Praying for you guys as you start your life away from the NICU!
YAYA!!!! So happy for you and your family!! : )
I'm so happy for y'all!! May God continue to bless you in every way.

Welcome to fulltime parenthood! Now the sleepless nights can get hard, but by about two months adjusted, she should be giving you longer stretches of sleep at night. Bask in the beauty of this, it's what we've all been praying for, you, Gwenyth, and Tricia, all home and healthy!
Blessings guys!
Sarah

I've only just discovered your blog (though Jessica Clare's photography session as I read her blog) and it is wonderful to see such amazing news. I remember bringing our son home from the hospital (he was a 27 weeker, so I much bigger boy than Gwyneth) and it was terrifying and wonderful both at the same time. She is beautiful and I wish all of you the very best. I'll be following your blog from now on.
What more can I say, but bless you all! What a journey you have been on, and I am so grateful that you have allowed us to travel alongside you. Your family is such a beautiful witness to others. I just thank you for allowing us to be there for all your ups and downs that you have traveled over these many, many months. Congrats on being home. Now, the real fun begins! Take care of each other....
Yay! Congratulations! I hope your first night at home goes well! Prayers are with you!
Congratulations! So exciting!
What an amazing journey! When you take the time to read over the blog from the past it truly amazes me what God has brought your family through! What an awesome God we have!!!
Thanks be to God!
What an amazing, unbelievable testimony of God's love and miraculous work in your lives. It's been a treasure being able to follow along on your journey through your blog. Blessings to the three of you!
I am a recent reader of your blog. I am amazed at God's Grace and Love He has bestowed upon you and your beautiful family. Thank the Lord for Little Miracles and the chance to raise them in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord"!!! Congrats on having her HOME!!!!
Yay!!!!!! Congratulations, she looks wonderful and you look like a beaming, proud papa!!! Hope you all actually get sleep tonight!
SO HAPPY for your family!!!! YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!
Please continue to pray for Riley she is being placed on life support.
I so remember the feeling of taking my twin boys home and then a few years later another son....the NICU was a place I felt comfortable...but it was nice to be home!!!! Have a wonderful time getting to know Gwyneth better. :)
CONGRATS!!!
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!
That is such great news!!! You must be overjoyed to have both your girls out of the hospital. :o)
Such a blessing to get to have your sweet family all together at home without all those strange lights, tubes, and machines.
May God's richest blessings continue as your family seeks to glorify and enjoy Him.
I am rejoicing deeply with you in Philly. How great is our God?!?
Yay!
oh happy day !!!
What a glorious day! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Oh that's wonderful to see after such a day as I had dealing with doctors trying to tell me what to do with my daughter whom they've never even met! I have followed your blog since before Gwyneth arrived and am so happy your family is complete. Good luck having her home. Hope you can get some sleep!
Absolutely Awesome!
Ann

Congrats on everyone finally being home!! I remember how amazing it was when I was finally able to bring my Triplets home from the NICU. Enjoy every moment!
PRAISE GOD!!! So extremely HAPPY! :)
May 15th should be declared the Gwyneth Rose Day! I have been reading this blog for several months now and it truly has changed my life. Tricia is a remarkable lady in risking her life, yet being a Christian we all know that our merciful God is the reason for this beautiful story. Millions of prayers have been prayed and God answered! To God be the Glory GREAT THINGS He hath done!
Yayayayaya!!!! Hooray!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!
*tear*
What a happy happy day!!!
This is wonderful news, take good care of this little angel.
Praise God!
you are going to need those kleenex in the background!!! What a fantastic blessed day!!

What an awesome GOD that we have.
Congrats on having both of your girls at "home"!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for all of you. I will continue to pray for each of you. May God Bless your family!

I read every day but haven't posted before. I couldn't resist posting today...congratulations on bringing your baby girl home! I know it is such an incredibly special and emotional day and I am so glad it has finally come for you all! We still celebrate "coming home day" every year with our preemie...All the best to all three of you and I will keep praying for continued health! God is good!
Can you EVEN BELIEVE IT?
Sweet Lawrenson Family~
My heart truly rejoices with you today as you are finally all home together. God has been so good and I have been so encouraged by your giving Him the glory for the miracle that your lives are. Praise Him!
When I came home from the hospital the first time with our older daughter, I was quick to complain in my heart about the difficulties of having a newborn and the huge adjustment that it was. I have been reading your blog since before my second daughter was born, and coming home with her my perspective has been very different from reading about your lives. God has used you to help me praise him for the little things, even the hard things, as they, too, are gifts from above.
I am so excited for you all in this new stage of your lives and am praying for a wonderful adjustment to life at home as a family of three. God bless you!!!
How awesome you all are ALL home. Praise God. He is so good. I'm so excited for you all. WOOT!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! :)
I can't tell you how happy we are for you to all be together at last!!! :)
Blessings!
