2:00 am, little noises that sound like sniffling but its only been 3 hours since the last feeding. Frustrated a bit but not enough to erase the smile from my face as I sit up slowly. By the time I’m fully upright, the sniffling is a cry.
“Don’t get up, I got him,” from my husband, across the room, “he just needs his binkie.”
I melt all over our bed immediately.
“Bring him over here with us” I whisper.
Back to sleep for the next few hours, but not before I catch my sweet boys, laying next to me, Daddy’s finger wrapped in a tiny hand in the dark.
This hurts my heart, makes that lump in my throat throb. This is love.

63 Days is about to re-start. Now that the baby’s here, I’ve had a lot of time late at night to re-write some of the ending. I had to add a few things. Thank you all for your support.

I’m glad all is well with the baby–but I sure am thrilled you’ve started re-writing and writing the ending–I check back almost daily. I’m thoroughly excited to read the rest of the story. Thank you for sharing this.

Congratulations! I knew you were expecting and wasn’t sure if you’d be blogging with the time constraints of a newborn. I know you don’t really know me…I just check back every now and then to see what’s happening. But, I am SO happy for you! When you have such tragedy in your life, the sweet life moments you describe seem to be even more meaningful, I think. I know the feeling you describe: your breath kinda gets caught in your throat and your heart seems to swell. Blessings to you!

I just started reading yesterday and couldn’t stop. Your life and your will are truly amazing and I almost don’t want to say that I can’t wait for the end! Thank you for your story. It is very inspiring.
