Making the most of each moment...

Dan and I are striving to make the most of every moment we have with Noah.  Though are days are filled with pain, we also have times of celebration and precious moments that will last a lifetime.  We do things that people may think are odd, but it provides peace and comfort to us.  We know we want to be the best parents we can possibly be, so we are making each moment count.  Though what we do feels a little awkward at times, we know that when we look back we won't regret loving Noah like we did.  We have begun reading bedtime stories to Noah, we pray out loud, sing songs to him, and tell him constantly how much we love him.  Though it is strange and extremely painful at times...we do it as a way to show him we love him.  It is our way of being the best parents we can while he is with us.

    Katie I am praying for you and Dan and little Noah. As I read what you are going through I just want to give you a hug. I know there are no words that can take away the pain except knowing that we are praying for God to look over all of you. Take care. Laura Page

    Dan, Katie and Noah,
    We pray for you every day. We pray for you at work. My friends and family ask about you all the time. You are definitely not alone. No one can imagine what you are going thru but we all pray for a miracle. I believe with all my heart that a miracle could happen here. Noah must be a pretty special boy for God to want him so soon. Anything we can do to help, just call. Anytime. We are here for you.

    You are all in my thoughts since i found out about this. I don't know the words, but I am sorry you have to go through this. it sounds like you are taking in the good and the bad news- Your faith is strong. my cousin in Feb 08 lost her baby boy @21 weeks. There are some similarities between your stories. She journaled her thoughts and feelings on her blog. If you are interesed in reading her blog or talking to her- I know she would just listen, she knows much of what you are going through. Her name is also Katie. If you want more information let me know and I can share her blog site and story
    My thoughts go out to both you and Dan
