Dear Baby Zoey

Today was the first time that Mommy was able to put a cute little outfit on you.  I was going to give you your first bath but the nurses wouldn’t let me…nuts.

Ahhhh you looked so cute and beautiful in your little doll clothes!! Elyse, Jace and Daddy were able to come and hold you. They love you soo much. Ely and Jace love to call you chubby checks and give you lots of kisses.

Here is some exciting news…you are now 4 POUNDS!! Ahhhhh so exciting!!! You are huge and even getting some cute little rolls. You are looking more like a baby and less like an alien.

Tomorrow will mark 5 weeks of you being in the hospital. I think your medical bills are (and still climbing) over 50,000 dollars, yikes! Mommy is ready for you to come home now. She is tired of some of the nurses and staff that are not very nice and sometimes even rude. However, I do appreciate, and I’m very grateful, for the amazing care that they give you. You really have one last big hurdle to jump and that is to feed on your own. This means you need to start nursing and taking a bottle so they can take out your feeding tube, or you can just pull it out again…lol.

Mommy is hoping that you are well enough to come home the end of September or beginning of October. That would be the best present ever!! We love you so very much and know that it’s truly a miracle that you are here and alive. I’m so grateful? for a loving heavenly father and Savior for making it possible to have you, Elyse, Jace, Daddy and your brothers for eternity.

Love Mommy
