Happy Month Day to YOOOUUU! Happy Month Day to YOOOUU!

Annie is one month old today (effective 10:45pm). In her one month of life, Annie has grown from 2lb 9 oz to over 4 lbs (give or take some excess fluids), fought 3 infections (2 staph, one endrocochal..[insert latin/medical sounds here to finish it off -just make sure you say them with a serious face]), had 3 spinal taps, 2 blood transfusions, learned how to breathe on her own, developed a preference for sleeping on her belly..the list goes on. She is our feisty Annie. And it is the strength of prayer and the love that every nurse, doctor, friend and family member gives to Annie that fuels this feistyness and allows us to push through each day with even greater hope for the next one.

Happy Month Day...I'm going to Stage Deli with a friend for lunch to celebrate! I'll have a corned beef sandwich for Annie (trust me - it'll still be waiting on my hips for her until she's old enough for it...but she'll want her own by then!) In this past months she's shown that she's not only feisty, but busy, busy busy! She has accomplished so much in so little time...truly impressive, Annie!

This has certainly been a busy month for you all! Annie is sure showing her spunk, as they said in the old Mary Tyler Moore show. :-) Happy Month Day, Dear Annie, Happy Month Day to you!
With a hug and kiss,
Love,
Barb
