4 weeks, 37 weeks gestation (tomorrow)

Jackson has had quiet days of sleeping and growing. The nurse today showed me how to pick him up (tubes and all) and put him back down on my own. Still a bit intimidating, but so wonderful too! I have officially lost count of how many times I've held him.

Our days haven't been quite as quiet as Jackson's. :) We're having lots of good times with our kiddos. Yesterday was a trip to the zoo for the kids and I, while Mason stayed back at the hospital with Jackson to wait for doctor's reports. We are all longing for home, and missing the saints at Lake Road Chapel. The kids talk often about taking Jackson home. I still feel so bewildered by the thought that, Lord-willing, we will be able to do that...even if it's weeks away yet. Jackson is such a gift!
