Our Special guest at Ella's First Birthday!

Here is our special guest at Ella's First Birthday. This is Melissa Duncan and she is very special person to my family. She was Ella's very special NICU nurse while she was in the NICU!! She was the nurse that was in the delivery room with me when I delivered her and was also Ella's first nurse for the first 6 days in the NICU! Those first couple of days in the NICU are very traumatic for a parent of a preemie baby and she was very comforting and answered all the questions we had about our very tiny and fragile baby. Melissa was also there the day we left the hospital after being in there for 44 days. We both left the NICU in tears that day. Sad to say goodbye and thrilled to be finally taking our baby home. Melissa is one of those people that touch your life and you never forget them. She drove all the way from Troy to surprise us at the birthday party. Please Pray for her right now, she is going through a very difficult time right now in her life.

Baylee's new BLANKET!!

The weekend we were at Kristi's we went to the Carter's outlet. Kristi talked Baylee into getting a new blanket. If you know my child Baylee she has had a yellow ducky blanket for 7 years and it was looking pretty rough. She decided she would replace it with a new one. We talked her into sending her other blanket to Hannah Montana. What is so funny is that when Hannah Montana came on TV she hoped that she would say thing about her blanket while she was watching it. Here are the pictures of her new blanket.
