Little fighter...

Dear son,

My boy, I'm so proud of you. In one week, you grew 1.5 weeks' worth. That's what the ultrasound measurement at the OB/GYN indicated today. You're such a brave little guy, and tough. Like I said yesterday, you take all the time you need in there. If you need to stay a little longer, you go right ahead. We're all on your schedule, my friend, not the other way round. I know it can't be easy for you, but I also know you'll do your best. And I want you to know that we love you so much. We're with you in spirit, Nick, your mother and I, and we're praying for you constantly. We're hoping that our positive thoughts make their way to you and give some more energy and strength to rally your forces, and that our love and tenderness wraps you in a cozy and warm blanket of developmental assistance. Always know, my Nicky, that we'll love you through thick and thin, no matter what, but for your own sake, do your best to come out with a minimum of development challenges, okay? Not for our sakes, no don't worry about that, but for your own. Only for your own sake. God keep and heal you.

We love you,
Dad
