Message from Melanie


Yeah! I'm a BIG GIRL!! I weigh 3 pounds now! And if you didn't notice I'm on nasal cannula! Dr. Gelfand told me I can stay on it as long as I'm a big girl...which means I have to keep my stats up. I will do my best!!!

My mommyy was so excited to take pictures of me without my CPAP that she forgot to to wipe the boogers out of my eye...she says she's sorry!

Look Great Grandma Hoksbergen...I'm wearing a shirt AND I'm swaddled in a blanket...even though I'd rather have my legs and arms out! I took this picture just for you.My mommy loves it when I hold her finger...(so does my daddy)!

Hi Melanie! This is Caleb. My mommy just showed me the pictures of you. I'm so glad that you're getting bigger. I can't wait to play with you. Maybe you'll want to play trucks with me instead of with dolls:)
Love
Caleb

All at once Melanie looks so big. I can see she has grown. It is great how fast she has put on some weight. Good girl. And she looks so alert. Amazing!!!!!! God is good. Melanie looks so nice in her clothes and her blanket. I assume Great Grandma thinks she should be wrapped in a blanket---I agree with her. Babies love to be wrapped up.

Keep up the good care of her Jeff and Nicki. You are doing a GREAT job.

Praying for you.

Praying for you all.
