Someone asked me to write about how Sydney is doing. Only my 2nd blog entry and already a request! Thank you Heather. Anyway, Sydney is doing amazing. She is staying with my parents on Sunday-Thursdays and then Adam takes her home on the weekends. She comes up to visit me almost everyday and brings me handmade cards and crafts that she makes with Grandma. She told Adam that she "Likes her new home" :) and she understands that Mommy is sick and has to stay at the hospital to keep her baby brother safe.
Last night we had a family movie night in the hospital. We watched Shrek 2 and ordered some awesome cheese curds and chicken tenders from room service. (You know, you can order free food whenever you want from here? It doesn't even have to be on the menu. You can just write down what you want, and it arrives 10 minutes later. Not too bad! One of the perks, of being a long-staying guest.)
Anyway, back to Sydney. She loves to help the nurses and knows her way around the hospital quite well already. She told us that, "After Sebastian is born, we will all go home and be the Surbers again." Precious. It definitely brightens my day getting to see her little smiling face.
Pray for my parents, as they are all ready getting tired. My Dad told me he knows why people have kids when they are young. She is a busy girl to keep up with! I know many of you have offered to babysit so we may be calling you sometime soon! Stay near the phone. :)

ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Lacy Charnetski's - I babysit Anna, actually. She told me what was happening with you as soon as you went to the hospital, and I've been praying since. In fact, I put you on the prayer chain at Spring Lake Church - anonymously...just said you were a gal from Celebration - and I want you to know there are some incredible prayer warriors there! Lacy just sent the link to this blog, and I will follow along. Praise God that He's already answering prayers to sustain Sebastian inside to keep growing and getting stronger.
God bless you, your husband and daughter, and your parents as they care for Sydney.
