Commenting Challenge

Today I am linking up with Jenna, over at www.Jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com She is having her third annual commenting challenge. This is to find new blogs to read.... So if you are over here from Jenna's journey here is a little me and my little family... My name is Danielle, I am a thirty something year old Christian wife and mother. I am a nurse who mostly works pediatrics although I also work labor and delivery, newborn nursery as well. I live in Massachusetts. My husband Matt was my teenage crush:-) He is five years older than me, and I really thought he was so cute when we were at our church youth group when I was thirteen! We didn't really talk for several years other than the typical hi bye thing, but then when I turned sixteen he asked me out. We got married in 2002 and will shortly be celebrating our 10th anniversary:-) In 2006 we had our oldest son Samuel. Throughout the whole complication filled pregnancy we were constantly praying for God to protect our baby and let us bring him home. And HE DID!!! Sammy was born weighing 4lb5oz and has had so many many medical problems...immune deficiency, C. diff. colitis, severe apnea, reflux, bleeding disorder, and most recently eosinophilic colitis. I am learning so much about myself and about God's love for us as I watch this amazing little boy go through so much. He is my heart. This is a picture that I had taken of him by an amazing photographer recently, isn't he so handsome.... And then sweet Sophia is my four year old little spit fire. She was also born prematurely but she has done fabulously. She is super tiny for her age, but she is bigger than life in personality... And my last little miracle is Preston. When I was 19wks pregnant with him the doctor said that he wasn't viable and the goal would be to save me. Throughout another complicated pregnancy I kept praying that God would let me hold this little one in my arms, and he is here. He too has had some medical challenges but he is just amazing and brings so much joy to my life.... We have a cat, his name is Louis but unfortunately I don't have any recent pics of him. So this is our blog, this is my journal, a place to document our medical journey with Sam, a place to sing God's praises for the amazing blessings He has given us, and a place to share our story. Welcome!!! Please let me know you were here, and I will come on over to your blog as well:-)

  2. I'm here from the Commenting Challenge. Your children are miracles (I know that all kids are, but I have kids who we had to really journey to get to and it just is a reminder of how much of a miracle they really are) and so cute! I could relate to much of what you said about learning more about God's love through your son. One of our daughters has a lung condition and neurodevelopmental disorder and I feel that way exactly about what I have learned through the privilege of parenting her.

  4. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I couldn't respond to your email b/c you don't have your email address set up (go to settings to change it). Your kids are so cute. Where in MA are you (if you don't want to say it is fine.) I'm in Boston.
