| The song playing is by the Beatles. It is called, "I Will". I first heard this song in the movie, "Love Affair" and loved it. I learned the words shortly after. It was always a song I sang in the shower...ha ha ha. When I got pregnant, I knew it was good to sing to the babies, so I sang this song. It was the only song I could ever think of and also, it was the only song I could remember all of the words to. When I was in the hospital, the night Jacob died inside of me, I sang the babies this song. I sang it to him the next morning when I held him in my arms. The next few weeks while I was trying to keep Emme inside, I sang this song. It made me cry, but it was like an anthem for my babies. I sang it to Emme when she was in the incubator and I sang it to her while she died. |

Here is our little girl, Emme.
This was taken on Friday, July 6, 2001, during Kangaroo
Care. I was holding her to my chest, inside my shirt. She
was sleeping so deeply. This is our favorite picture of
her because you can see her face so clearly. I still
can't believe how beautiful she was. We would give
anything to have her back. She was so amazing. It was so
incredible that she came from Eric and I. I still can't
believe that we made her. We miss her so much.
This is another
picture of me and Emme during Kangaroo Care. That was the
most beautiful and the happiest day of my life. Up until
that point, I had never gotten to hold her. She was so
tiny. It was so amazing to feel her moving against me.
She didn't move for long because she fell into a long
deep sleep. That is one of the major benefits of Kangaroo
Care. 
This is my little
Peanut. She was sleeping on her tummy that day, July 3,
2001. She had her little behind in the air and her little
legs curled underneath her. You can also see the goggles
that she had over her eyes to protect them from the
Bilirubin lamp. This lamp helped to prevent jaundice. 
Here is my beautiful
baby and her Daddy. This picture was taken when he did
Kangaroo Care on July 7, 2001. He was so protective of
her. He was asking the nurses to turn off lights around
us to protect her eyes, which weren't fully open yet. Her
eyes did open on Sunday, July 8, 2001, the day before she
died. He was also grinning because Emme was grabbing his
chest hair! It tickled him!
This picture was taken the day
after Emme was born. She was kicking up something fierce!
She was so active that they were scared she was going to
burn off all of her energy. She was very active inutero
too. I miss feeling her move around in there.
