Oops, my bad...

Dear Nicky,

Today I gave you too much to eat for lunch. You usually eat two ounces of milk, but today you consumed those two so easily, I gave you another ounce, which you also chugged with little apparent effort. Unfortunately, a little while later while lying in your bassinet you spat up all over. It must've hurt, too. Maybe it went down the wrong pipe or up into your sinuses. You were crying really badly. You cried so hard, your umbilical cord stump fell off as I was trying to hold you in a way that would help you burp. Mom and I were really scared. Mom called Dr. Ward, while I broke out into a sweat trying to soothe you. The doctor was very reassuring, however, and soon you were calm and comfortable again, so much so that we went for a nice walk. We didn't walk for long, because it was cold, but I like any opportunity to go any place with my little family. May God bless and keep you, Nicholas.

Love,
Dad
