Visits to the NICU

Dear Charli,
Your Mommy visited you in the NICU every single day you were there. Some days being able to do so was crazy for her schedule when she started her new job, but even then she never missed a day. I am so proud of how well she has taken care of you and how very much she loves you!


I visited a few times a week and loved those times with you and your mommy. The last week before you finally came home was the hardest on everyone. The traveling had taken its toll and your mommy and everyone else was exhausted. We were anxious to bring you home and tired of the hospital and the drive. You made it all worthwhile though and we wouldn't have missed our chances to hold you and cuddle you and read to you for anything!









Love,
Grammy

Charli's First Easter

Dear Charli,
I am way behind in journaling our journey! I can't wait to post all the things that have happened lately, but I don't want to leave out some important steps of our journey so the new stuff will wait.


We all had high hopes (albeit unrealistic) that you could be home for Easter. It was not to be but I ordered you a dress anyway. Your Mommy, Poppy and I drove over to the hospital to spend the day with you as soon as church was over that morning.

You looked so pretty in your Easter dress!



And so tiny in Poppy's arms!





Snuggling with Mommy


Happy Easter Charli!
Love,
Grammy
