Inside Children's
Last Christmas I was overwhelmed by the generosity of a variety of people and organizations who brought gifts to the NICU for both the babies and their parents. Some of Bekah’s favorite things are those that she received last year as she lay in her tiny bed.
Chris and I have both always loved having brothers, even though it may not always seem that way. When we had trouble getting pregnant with Rebekah and needed to use a fertility specialist, things became a little more difficult, but we still found ourselves dreaming of a day when the little person we hadn’t met yet would have an even littler sibling.
Rebekah turned 1 this past Monday. I spent the weeks leading up to her birthday amazed at what has happened over the past year. There were times that I couldn’t stop smiling because I am so proud of all that she has accomplished already, and there were times when I was ready to sit down and cry for hours on end because I feel like she’s not a baby anymore.
The NICU Reunion was definitely as exciting as we hoped it would be, and I’m pretty sure that it rivals our family reunions for seeing amounts of people we know and love all in one place!
Bekah has been sleeping through the night for months (except for a few times off and on that we’ve decided to blame on getting teeth), but for the last few days it seems that I am the one who can’t sleep…yep, I’m THAT EXCITED!
In the midst of our other September activities, we did still have to do the more mundane things, like go to appointments. Last month, Bekah decided to make even those exciting.
