“Our Miracle”

My big brother Aydyn, who is also my guardian angel, took me by my teeny hand and brought me down to earth. He also watched over mommy and me very carefully throughout our turbulent pregnancy right up to the day I decided to make my birthday. Just to keep everyone on their toes, I decided to come one month early and instantly became a mover and a shaker! On July 16, 2009, after 20 1/2 hours of labor, I was delivered at 11:24 a.m. weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. I had to stay in the NICU at St. Marks Hospital for 20 days before I was healthy enough to be taken home. And what a celebration it was, and is, to finally have me home. Everyone just loves me to pieces. Mommy and Daddy tell me I am “handpicked from heaven” and my brothers can’t wait to take me to school for show and tell. My parents Brandon and Heidi Lee and my older brothers Donovan, Peyton and Aydyn, my Nana Kathy Strieby and my grandparents Robert and Deanna Lee, along with so many more close and dear family members and friends wish to lovingly and graciously thank the labor and delivery, NICU and post partum staff members of St. Marks Hospital. An extended thank you along with hugs and kisses to Dr. Stephen E. Lamb, nurse Robin and Sharon Hartwell, you are like the gold at the end of a rainbow.
