Slight break down tonight

Slight break down tonight

This whole weeks has been crazy. Saturday was so scary and here I am in the hospital with a 2lb baby in NICU. I love him and am so afraid. I just want to know he will be okay. I fear the months ahead of us and the unknown facts of his health and ability to come home. Once again life had thrown me a curve ball and I'm just waiting to see what will happen next. Here alone in the hospital I struggle with things to focus on. My grand ideas of bringing home a baby are put on hold and once again I get to relinquish control and trust God's plan for Enzo.

My pain is intense as I attempt to recover quickly for Nevaeh. Trying to juggle a husband, a daughter, a son in NICU, and a business is quite a lot at the moment. I am so thankful for everyone's understanding and patience as we attempt to figure out a completely new schedule and routine for our family.

I pray for Enzo and his precious little body. That God would strengthen him, that he would protect him from harm, and continue to allow him to grow stronger and healthier. I pray for our family as we adjust to so many new schedules and emotions. I pray for Nevaeh as she makes difficult adjustments and changes that were unexpected. I pray for patience and understanding in parenting and comforting her. Help Scott and I to be hyper-aware of her needs and struggles throughout this process. I pray that these events would bring our family even closer, and that this experience would be used for Your glory. Use us as you see fit Lord and guide us in Your ways. You know our hearts and our fears. Bring comfort and healing to my body and mind, and strengthen me for the road ahead. Let Your light shine through our precious Enzo and grant us peace that can only come from you. Thank you for blessing us with such amazing family and friends. Their prayers and support are priceless and forever appreciated.

Thank you for all you've given us... All is from you and we are not worthy of any of it. Your love is incredible; with you all is possible.

In Jesus Name, AMEN.

Introducing Enzo Anthony Maynard
Born Sunday, July 24th, 2011
5:10am 2lbs, 7oz 14.25 inches

Saturday night was very unexpected, as I started bleeding and having contractions. Hubby raced me to the hospital where we found that I was experiencing a full placental abruption (placental detaching from the uterus). After some hours of monitoring, significant bleeding, and pain, I was rushed into an emergency c-section. Enzo was born at 5:10am at 2lbs, 7 oz! After being intibated for a short stint, he was taken off the breathing tube and started on a nasal c-pap to aid in his breathing! He is even using room oxygen! (these are very good things!) Enzo is alert, crying at times, and definitely a fighter!

I am still at the hospital as I lost a lot of blood and am recovering. Here are a few images of my beautiful
Enzo! Stay tuned for more as I continue to post updates via my iphone!

Thank you for your love and prayers! God is good and we are SO blessed for our tiny miracle!
