Duke Waiting Room

We thought you might like a brief view of what our life is like as we putter around Duke for appointments and such. This is the fun part of it...

    Now that is one cute baby! My husband and I recently found out that we're expecting, and watching little Gwyneth and all of her cute faces makes me that much more excited! Yay, babies are so wonderful! :-D

    WOW! They have nice chairs AND they allow you to use your cell phone! Hope that doesn't meet their wait is longer than our hospitals'. :p

    Gwyneth is soooo cute. I'm amazed at how interactive she is! She's just like my girl, no cell phones or computers allowed for Daddy when he's holding her!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Nathan - I hope you take this in the way it's meant - you are one big goofball! I'll bet it is so much fun to hang out with you. Gwyneth is so cute and she has the most adorable smile. You and your family are always in my prayers.

    That was fun. I just love to see how active she is. It is so amazing to see her now. Most people would look at this as an inconvenience in life. I like it that you are looking at it from a spending time with your girls. You are still all 3 awesome in my book. I haven't said that for a while, so I wanted to remind you!!!

    cute video, your video made me laugh and remember the good times with our kids to which I say. . .Nate this is an early "I told you so" My husband was always sticking his tongue out at our kids. As a "loving" wife I would tell him to stop. He would laugh and shrug it off. It wasn't until about 2-3 years later, when our son started doing it that I was able to say "See, I told you to stop that".

    Tricia and Nate - thank you for sharing the many blessings in your lives. I will continue to earnestly pray for those who offer unsolicited advice. Your blog is a place for me to pray, give thanks, and praise to the Lord. I have been a Christian since I was seven years old, but I have grown more spiritually since I started following your unbelievable story.

    Oh how wonderful a memory this will be. :) Daddy's little girl just smiling at him sticking his tongue out. :) She is so precious. Everytime I look at the blog each day I can only smile at the sweet little "rose" God has blessed you with. Let Trisha know I am praying for her and for you also Nate. God Bless you all.

    You have a wiggleworm baby too! Froggy (thus the name) couldn't sit still for a second. I think it's a sign of great strength! It's so nice to see her in action. Just wait until she's 2, you'll never sit down again! Much love, Elise

    As always - too cute!

    I have a question, in the vein of what came first the chicken or the egg...

    Are you imitating Gwyneth or is she imitating you?? You both make great faces, particularly at each other.

    It is so cool to see Gwenyth moving around! She seems to be right on track for her adjusted age. Tricia and I were due the same week and I ended up going a week over, after almost delivering at 29w then fighting to keep him in. She and my little man make the same faces and appear to have the same motor skills at this point... amazing!

    It was so much fun watching the 2 of you interact! I especially enjoyed the H-U-G-E yawn where she almost caught a few flies. No, the best part was when she smiled & laughed at you! Aw, my heart is going pitter patter. What a sweetie she is! Thanks for sharing.
