Day 13, 2-16-17; Little Scrappy has a Lucky 13

Hello Baby,

You had another great day! You are the best!! We all love you. Your echo came back and the medicine worked and your heart is all healed up. Every day you amaze us and impress us. Daddy had to work at the fire station again, and I found it even easier than last time to spend the day involved and focused on work. Other than waiting on your result and thinking about it, I was able to trust that you are in great hands and they would alert me if anything went wrong.

After my shift I bumped into my friend Ashlea in the NICU, who is an occupational therapist doctor or something. I am sure I am not giving her proper professional credentials but whatever you are 13 days old. She talked to me about what type of stuff to start thinking about as far as occupational therapy. Turns out I was clueless. I talked to her about how you are always trying to fuss and fight your tubes and wires and diaper changes. She says ” a little scrappy is good around here.” That made me smile. I like the nickname Lil’ Scrappy.” I doubt mom will. I think it embodies you fighter spirit. So keep on scrappin Lil’ Scrappy. You make us proud. We love you!
