Lots of friends

Lots of people came to visit me while we were in the hospital.

Aunt Mandy was the very first, but because of NICU rules, she wasn't allowed to come into the unit. Mom and Dad made sure she was one of the first people to hold me once I was out of the NICU.

My big brother Jack came to visit every day.

He even held me!

I think we're going to be great friends.

Grandma Phyllis came to visit in the NICU right after my CPAP came off.

After Mom and Dad, she was the next person to hold me.

Great timing, Grandma!

Did you know I was the first grandbaby she got to hold in the first few days of life?

Jack was in Ohio and was ~6 weeks old when she met him,

and Austin and Mikayla were in the NICU for along time before she got to hold them.

Cool, huh?

Grandma Janice and Grandpa Mike came to visit me in the NICU too.

This is the first time they got to hold me.

And then lots of other friends came too!

And Molly, too!

Here's our first family portrait.
