Are you well...?

Dear Nicky,

How are you doing today? We stuck a big needle in your amnionic sack yesterday. I hope it wasn't very traumatic for you. Your mom and I are also experiencing some trauma, as you know. Today seemed a little better than yesterday, or maybe I'm just more numb. Your aunts Erin and Sarah came over to be with us, your mom mostly. It was nice of them, I guess. They didn't really bother with me very much at all, but your mom was glad to see them, and that makes me happy.

We're so afraid, Nick. All we can do is wait.

I love you,
Dad
