Loves of my life

Jason Christopher and Clark Otis Marsden...the loves of my life...I am one blessed girl! Every time I look at them together, my heart gets bigger. Yes, this all didn't turn out the way we wanted...but what in life really does? Your experience is always what you give your attention to. Through this whole whirlwind...we have chosen to give our attention to all the triumphs...all the positive that has come out of this...the level of admiration I have for my husband...the re-connection of so many people in our lives...the amazing community we have around us...the great love filled food we have been fed...the love and the heart beams coming from all over the world....and the love between Jason, Clark and I...our blessings are indeed abundant!

So, yesterday...we got the "get your car seat and house ready" speech...we are so excited....the day is drawing near that we get to take our angel home with us...and finally get to bond with him around the clock...no interruptions...no tests...no leaving him at night and anxiously waiting to see him again the next day. He will be...home...with...us!!!! It might even be next weekend! It will all depend on Clark and how he does with taking his feeds...it is a stamina thing at this point...he gets SO tuckered out. But he will get there in his own time and it won't be long now...

Oh and yes...we plan to continue the blog even after Clark is home to keep everyone updated on his progress!

Check out this face...Clark does it all the time...and it is soooo cute!

  7. Christy,

    I'm not sure which amazes me more. Clark's "ridiculous" progress, or the positive attitude you and Jason have had through all this. And Clark is just so adoreable... looks like he's gone beyond his double chin and has started to work on his third.

  8. Ok, kids, start locking down the house: doors, drawers, electrical outlets, Batman collection and all other valuables, the "boss" is coming home!!!! I-LOVE-THIS-PIX and I'm posting it at work today!! I'm so happy for the 3 of you, the blessings are amazing and almost overwhelming....I have this perpetual smile on my face whenever anyone asks me about Clark's progress. Christy, Jason, you've earned this....the struggles you've been through have made you, and us, all the wiser and so much stronger to deal with "life on life's terms", so to speak! Thank you for sharing this very personal journey with us...I'm sure you know the love we all have for the 3 of you. May God's blessings continue to shine on you. ILY so much.....and, Christy, a most blessed and happy Mother's Day! XOXOXOXOXOXO!!!

  14. Okay, I FINALLY read your post! Weeee! I love you so much too, Babyness! The level of admiration I have for you always grows, but shot upward like a rocket rollercoaster thanks to the beautiful boy you granted me. You're already a helluva Mom! The best ever! This might not have turned out the way we wanted, but it sure did turn out absolutely right!
    Happy Mother's Day!!! xoxo

  16. This is sooooooo exciting!!! I was thinking about you guys at 3a last night when I was nursing Chloe. I can't wait for you to experience it all. You don't even care that it's 3a and that you're exhausted. All you care about it comforting your little lovey. It is the MOST AMAZING feeling. You hear baby cry, your boobies start to leak on the way to the nursery, you stumble in half asleep, your touch soothes their crying and then they root around like a little kitten looking for milk. It is the absolute sweetest thing ever. My heart hurts with love every night when I go to her. I can not wait for you guys to have all of these wonderful experiences 24/7. It is soooo amazing and you deserve every bit of amazing!! yipppieee yipppie yipppieeeeee xo
