Happy Birthday Laelia!

So today Laelie is one month old. It seems like it’s been years and at the same time it’s hard to believe she’s not still a week old.

Charley’s friends, Bolt and Aduma, are here and they decorated the living room with balloons and streamers. I decorated her casts with crayons with little hearts and stars and butterflies. We hope to get a memory card for our camera to take a picture of it so you all can see. Crayons work much better than sharpie markers on her casts since the smell is not as strong and her casts get changed so often that they don’t need anything more permanent to decorate them. I also decorated her cardboard box… that she loves… more than her bassinet… still.

I’m so grateful to have a little daughter. Some kids with AMC don’t make it to their one month birthday. We have been so blessed. We did nothing to deserve her. We did nothing to deserve her pain, true enough, but also nothing we did warranted the amazing love that she’s brought to our lives. We love our Laelie Bug.
