Mommy daughter bonding

     Today Nana is visiting. Charlotte was so excited to see her nana, so the nurse took her out for a visit. Laura held Charlotte for 2 hours today! She was very comfortable and had no problems with her breathing. Charlotte is on SiPap today because after a day on the CPAP machine, she got tired. Her cries are getting stronger every day. Today the nurse was giving her a bath, and Charlotte hated it. She let out her loudest cry yet! This crying thing may loose it's luster soon.
     Not many people know this story, but when Charlotte was born, David and Laura thought she was going to be a boy. They had wanted a baby boy, because they thought it would be easier to raise a boy first. They had not found out Charlotte's sex prior to her birth. For 28 weeks, they had called Charlotte a boy. During the 5 days of bed rest, the doctors had informed them that premature girls statistically do much better than boys in the NICU. Laura quickly decided that she wanted a baby girl rather than a baby boy. When Charlotte was born, Laura was listening very closely to what the doctors were discussing, and she heard them say that they had delivered a baby girl. Laura told David she heard the doctors say they had a baby girl, and he was stunned. They were so happy to have a baby girl! Woody Allen once said, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your about your plans."
