When a precious couple from our church faced life threatening complications during their son's birth, I was always touched by how he would allow himself to see the humor in some of the things that occur during this time. Let's face it - if you've never seen a baby in the NICU, you've missed some interesting equipment. So, as our little Abijah continues to grow stronger and anticipate her escape from the NICU, I give you some of the lighter moments of life in the NICU!
On the day of her birth, Abijah was immediately admitted into the Future Astronauts of America Training Program.
As the days went by, she didn't want to miss out on her opportunity to sport a tan when she left the hospital. Here she is catching some rays under the bili-light. Some women pay big bucks for tans like this!!!
And finally here is a musical tribute to a precious baby girl who can't wait to get home to her Mommy, Daddy, and big sister! If you know the song "The Days of Elijah" then hum along!!
The Days of Abijah
These are the days of Abijah,
Declaring to the world she is here
And these are the days of wires & monitors
respiration being restored
And though these are days of great trials
of oxygen and feeding tubes
Still there is a voice in the NICU crying
Prepare cause I’m coming home soon!
Behold she’s here! Such a precious one!
Stealing our hearts, with her tiny cries
So lift your voice & celebrate with me!
Baby Abijah is finally here!
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah!
There’s no God like Jehovah!
(Repeat 3 times)
So lift your voice & celebrate with me!
Baby Abijah is finally here!

Finally had a chance to go blogging today and catch up on everyones blogs...please know that you and your precious family are in my prayers constantly. It is hard to watch your kids struggle with their kids, and to watch that precious grandkid struggle *well* lets just say it is a double whammy for grandmothers. A double feeling of being helpless, a double feeling of wanting so much to make things right, right away, a double heartache. I am so glad to hear of the improvements and hope that Abijah makes it home soon! Double love you all!
She's sooo sweet--hope she's home really soon!
(I do appreciate your humor!)
She's beautiful!!! And I'm glad you included my favorite part of that song!!! ha! You are quiet the lyrical writer! You should sit with Theresa and I on a Thursday night! That's what we have fun doing!
