Nixon,
Today is a very special day for your daddy and me; today we celebrate when we were finally able to bring you home from the hospital, 77 days after you were born. For those 77 days we cried and prayed and held your hand. We cuddled you skin to skin for hours at a time and anxiously watched the monitors to make sure your vital signs were okay. We bribed staff with cupcakes and made friends with nurses to make sure everyone around you took extra special care of our little princess. Every couple hours I pumped milk for you to drink, and, when you were big enough, we fed you and burped you. I hummed songs to you, and told you every day that you were the most beautiful baby I’d ever seen, and that is still true. We clapped our hands with joy when you made progress and we wrung them when you struggled. And every second of every day since you were born we’ve loved you with all our hearts.
Nixon, you are our entire world, and we are so blessed that you are healthy and happy and beautiful. You are proof that God loves us, and you renewed our faith in miracles.
