Heart Sisters

Sitting down to write this blog is making me a little teary eyed already. 14 and a half months ago I gave birth to the most precious little girl and I knew that the road that lay ahead of her was going to be long and difficult. I knew that I would do anything in my power to change places with her if I could. Then I met Mimi and sweet Mia. Our roommates in the NICU. Mimi and I bonded over the buzz of our breast pumps, our chairs hitting each other as we rocked and spoke to our sweet girls, the buzz of the monitors (that literally would go off simultaniously) amoung several over things that I don't wish on anyone. These sweet girls have had almost all of the procedures at the same exact time, if not within one day of each other. We have watched sweet Mia grow up on her blog since we live so far apart, but we were so lucky to get a chance to see sweet Mia while we were in Seattle. We went to the fair with Mia and her family. Mia is incredibly beautiful. She has the greatest smile and was very friendly. I think Sophia must somewhere within her remembers the times she and Mia speant in the NICU because two days before we saw Mia and her famly we saw my cousin Kim and her family. Kim's son Grant is 4 months older than Sophia and she wouldn't interact with him much. When Sophia saw Mia, it was like they were good friends. They were talking and smiling with each other. It was so cute! I cannot wait until they are older and can play with each other and Mimi and I can tell them stories of the journey they have had together!
