Today was a special day - your blessing day. We have waited so long to celebrate your birth officially. Today that day finally came.
You have received countless blessing during your short little life. Minutes before you were born your Dad and my anesthesiologist gave me a blessing - blessing you with the strength and will to face the challenges ahead of you. Many tears were shed in that moment, wondering just how long you would get to live for those challenges. Just two days later, Grandpa Gary and Dad blessed you again, this time to grow up to be a healthy, happy girl. They reached through your isolette windows and placed just one finger each on your tiny head (because you were too tiny to fit even one hand). We stood in a semi circle around your bedspace, tears flowing freely. I was literally falling to pieces as I watched you struggle to breathe. That night still, so very much, gives me heart pains when I think about it.
Today your dad took you in his arms to give you yet another blessing - a name and a blessing. You were surrounded by 17 priesthood holders, each loving you as much as we do. What a sight to see, so many broad shouldered men, surrounding a sleeping baby in white. The sacredness and spirit felt was so strong it was almost touchable. I cried a few more tears today, so humbled and grateful for the power of the priesthood. The men that blessed you today hold keys that unlock miracles, you being one such miracle!
We are honored and humbled to be gifted with a miracle child. You give us happiness and joy every single day! We are so very grateful that you chose to fight against the odds to stay with us on earth - we will make it worth the journey for you as best we can!
We Love You!
Love, Mom and Dad

She looks so beautiful! Congrats! You are one good lookin family!
She looks adorable. Her dress is beautiful. I'm sorry I missed the blessing. I debated on whether to come or not, thinking Nicole was getting better. I'm glad we didn't come because I'm sitting here waiting for my doctors office to open. I'm taking Nicole in for a possible earache.
All I have to say is...that was BEAUTIFUL, she is BEAUTIFUL and her dress was BEAUTIFUL, your post made me cry!
Wow, I am so sorry I didn't know,
Tres and I were in SLC, I would have loved to have seen her. Sorry my schedule has been too unpredictable. One day with I am down, I will call you and we can do a fun photo shoot. She looks so darling, and reminds me of you. When you look back at this blog you will probably wonder how you made it... we all do. Children bring so much to our lives, even if we knew all the trials we would have...we would do it anyway. I am so happy for you, you make a beautiful mom. Roger.. your getting old..really 29 how can that be, I am 29. I love you guys very much. Sherry
