Dear Annie,
Your daddy and I came to see you this evening and we were able to kiss
your sweet little forehead! The nurse was cleaning you up so she had the
incubator top off so we were able to see you so much better! It made
your daddy and I SO HAPPY to see you! I kissed your forehead one too
many times but I just couldn't get enough! I also got to change your
diaper and it was definitely full! You sure knew mommy was going to
change your diaper and made it pretty gross! But I didn't mind! Parents
usually don't like to change their kids diapers. But Annie, me being
able to change your diaper makes me feel more and more like your mother.
I've only been able to change it 3 times now and it makes your mama so
happy every time:)
The physical Therapists also got little inserts for your hands so your
thumbs are actually not glued to your hands! We are hoping that through
time, they'll be able to open up fully.
Before the nurse put the top of the incubator, your started to tense up
and I saw tears come out of those little eyes of yours. You started
moving around and I could not help but cry. Seeing tears come down your
face is so hard for me to see. Your little eyes wanted to open up so bad
and you kept trying but you couldn't get them open. But those little
tears were just glued to your eyelids and I just wanted to hold and rock
you. The nurse then put the top of the incubator on and it was as if I
was saying goodbye to you. But I just put my hand trough the little
insert and held your little foot in my hand and watched you calm down
and sleep for 30 minutes.
I hate every time I have to say bye to you but it comes everyday. You looked so beautiful and peaceful. Your daddy and I both said bye to you and said how much we love you.
We pray for you all the time, everyday Annie girl. The love your daddy and I have for you, there aren't any words to describe. I love you so much sweetheart. Sleep well:)
Love, mommy.

| They had to put a brains monitor on your head for the fourth time last Thursday to check again to see if you were seizing. They didn't find anything. Hopefully you're doing okay babies! |

We pray for you everyday too, Little One, and we pray for your good parents. More than once have tears come to our eyes as we have contemplated the challenges that you and they will face as you grow and get stronger. I hope that one day you will be able to march right up to me and kick your Uncle Phil right in the knee when I say something smart ass that bugs you. You have been born to good-hearted and capable parents. If I was going on what could be a tough journey, I'd want at least one of them with me; AND YOU GOT BOFF EM!!! Lucky Little Girl! See you soon, sweetie pie
