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!
