Last night Canaan woke about 40 minutes after BJ laid him down for the night, crying off and on. I could see on the monitor that he was okay, but couldn't help but sneak into his room to lift him out (something I've only done about 3 or 4 times in the last four months) and cuddle him in his chair for a good long time. I ran my fingers through his soft baby hair and just held him quietly, soaking him up and knowing that he'll be our only child for just another couple of days.
It's really hard to sum up the last four months. It's been a really... really long road but it has also been a time of tremendous blessing. And now to make it farther than anyone (even our doctors) dreamed possible... it's just overwhelming to live in this moment knowing we've been given such an amazing gift in our children both beating the odds.
Now we have one last hurdle to cross before we can start the next chapter of our lives. We are scheduled to be induced on Tuesday morning and if all goes well we will bring Ezra home on Thanksgiving Day (what could possibly be more appropriate?). We have so very much to be thankful for!
