Letter 8

11/24/12

Hi Frankie,

Happy another day older! Mom is up during your delivery time and I thought I would write you a letter. I was thinking about you as I usually do during this time of the night. One day I will be able to sleep through the night and think of you with a smile on my face.

I want to thank you for keeping Mom safe. I had my MRI and we found out what the problem is and I have my first Dr's appt with a specialist on Monday to start a course of treatment. It is nothing major but a little bump in the road. Thank you for making sure it was nothing major! I am glad we were able to figure out what the problem was right away. Then we will be on the way to making you a big brother!

Thursday was Thanksgiving here. Thank you for watching over Daddy. He was in the hospital for an abscess and infection. He is home now and doing better. I was so worried about him and didn't want to leave his side. I wish you were here because I am sure Dad would feel better if he had some baby snuggles and kisses from you! I mean who the heck doesn't love baby kisses!! Mom and Dad spent the holiday in the hospital. I was like a kid at Christmas when after almost 2 days the Dr. said I could take him home. We had a huge party last night here at the house. Nonna and Papa are here and sleeping upstairs. I showed off your nursery to everyone last night and they loved it. You have cute feet too because everyone had loved looking at the new picture that Mom made of your footprints. Mom hates feet but she would kiss and love yours if I could get my hands on them!! Your oldest cousin Violet was in your room today. We were trying to figure out where her old room was because she used to live in this house. Once she figured out which one was her old bedroom, get this- she is a smart little cookie because she said both of them were her old bedrooms which was very true! Violet said "Baby Frankie has a really pretty room". That's right, it's your room. That little girl melts my little heart! Each and every time, Violet amazes me with all the wonderful things she says about you. Nothing makes me happier to hear other people talk about you, espically someone who is so young. That Violet is one amazing little girl!

There was a rainbow baby delivered this week. Her name is Hazel and she is precious! Hazel's older sister Jude is in the same safe place as you if you could have the pleasure of meeting her up there one day. It makes my heart feel so good when I see rainbow babies arriving. I know we will have a rainbow baby (babies if we are lucky) and I can't wait. If you could please watch over Hazel, i would really appreciate it. Please keep her safe as you do for the rest of the babies that I ask you about.

Mom is doing ok. Can I tell you about the most wonderful group of ladies that are out there? My August moms are sending me a package a day to help me get through the holidays. They are the greatest group of laides out there! I have trouble accepting gifts from other people but I have never felt so loved in my entire life. I am going to open a few gifts tomorrow and I can't wait, it's like Christmas morning every single day! I can't believe that there are such wonderful people out there caring for Mom and Dad! I have been talking about you at least once a day lately. Some days I am happy but other days I have tears. I have now realized that tears are not so bad.

A few of your friends are sick, can you watch over them Pal to make sure they are ok? It is cold and fever season and the babies will need angel Frankie to watch over them!

Mommy and Daddy are coming to visit you tomorrow and we are going to wish you Happy Thanksgiving. May we bring some visitors? Nonna and Papa would like to come and see you. I came up with the coolest idea and I can't wait to get there and do it. You are going to have some blue balloons with letters in them sent up to you. I am going to take a picture of it and I will post it here. I am so excited to be able to do this for you! Can't wait! For all the holidays if you don't mind that we bug you, we would like to do this.

How is Gram and Silvie? The first snowfall was tonight, I hope you all made it through and stayed warm. I am sure it is always very warm and you have perfect weather up there at all times. All of you angels deserve it to watch over your families.

I am going to head to bed now that it is 3am. I should be sleeping and Daddy is going to be worried about me because I snuck out on him. Love you so much Frankie! Happy Thanksgiving and Mom and Dad love you so much!


Hugs, kisses, and "swaddles",

Your insomniac Momma!

Letter 7

11/13/12

Hi my sweet baby!

How are you today my precious angel? Things are going ok here. Mom wasn't feeling well so she decided to take a day to rest and feel better at home. I know if you would have been here with me that you would have let me snuggle with you all day. That is the best medicine right there! I spent some time relaxing in your beautiful nursery today thinking of you and how much we miss and love you!

My August mommies and babies started a really cool thing where they are sending me gifts in the mail to help get me through the holidays. Gifts and letters to put a smile on my face. These mommies are so wonderful and take such good care of mom and dad! A lot of people are thinking of us this holiday season and that makes me feel so good!

What is new here with mom and dad... we went on a date night Friday. We went out to dinner and then went shopping for Christmas decorations! We picked you up a few things to put out for you, Grandma, and Silvie. Then on Saturday we (you went with me in spirit) went on an August Moms get together in Columbus! You met mom Ashley and her kids Abby and Baby Roo. Then you met Jamie, her husband Chris, and baby Jameson! We had a great time and even have a picture to remember and that is below. Then Saturday we went over Aunt Mo and Uncle Brian's house to play some games with Aunt Manda and Uncle JJ. Your cousins Vince and Casey were there. Casey had the cutest sweater on EVER! No joke Frankie, you would look so great in this sweater! While Mom was gone at the get together in Columbus Dad had the most productive day ever. He told everyone about it and it included: putting up Christmas decorations, cleaning the bathrooms, mopping the floors, vacuuming, dusting, grocery shopping, and taking the recyclables in. Most productive day EVER for Daddy! I was so happy that he spent all this time doing this! Then on Sunday, Mom went on shopping spree-a, gym, and relaxation. Then another week was started! Thanksgiving is coming next week and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! We will go to Nana and Tata's house on the holiday and then we are having our Black Friday party here! It will be so much fun! You are going to be the highlight of the party next week and I can't wait to talk all about you!

Can we bring you anything when we come and visit on Sunday? Are you staying warm enough? I am glad we have you in a nice warm swaddle! Aunt Manda's blanket is there with you too if you need it. It was snowing today here in Cleveland. Nothing that will stick to the ground but it was snowing. Nona and Papa are buying you a Christmas tree for you to enjoy. Mom and Dad will be bringing you a Christmas wreath once we find the perfect one. We want it to be one that a little boy would just love so lots of Santa and snowmen will need to be included. I hope we find the wreath this weekend when we go out shopping for it.

Can you also please keep Mom in your prayers to keep her safe and watch over me? It is nothing major but I have to have an MRI done on Thursday to make sure I am nice and healthy so we can start working on brining you a brother or sister into the world. I hope it is just something minor and nothing that a little medicine won't fix. Thank you for always watching over us and all of the other August babies, the Siftar/ Allen/ Musial/ and Cirillo families. I know we are keeping you busy up there! My test is Thursday night at 5:30 if you would like to know for you own reference of course!

I hope you are having a great time and Grandma is taking good care of you. How is Silvie doing? Have you met the little boy I was telling you about Hunter Carillo? Love you soooooo very much! Take care and as always, thank you for all you do for us. Miss and love you more and more each day!

Mommy and Daddy
