Nila's Birthday Post #1
So - today my sweet little Nila turns 6 years old. I've been receiving phone calls this morning from people wishing her a happy birthday and I'm trying to be happy, but part of me is a little sad too. Let me explain.... Besides the fact that I am a little sad that she's growing up, this day has some pretty intense memories for me. Every year on Nila's birthday I cry (just a little bit) when I remember all of the emotions I experienced the day she was born. The fear, the helplessness, the grief when I saw this tiny, sick little baby....

We love her too! Happy Birthday to our little niece!
Simply AMAZING! I still can't believe that picture of her is real! If I hadn't received it from you back then I still wouldn't believe it! You are definitely blessed to have this little angel in your life. Happy Birthday Nila!
Nila bug is so dang cute! I adore her. Hope you guys had a good day. I can't believe that she is 6!
Happy Birthday Nila!! I think the first pic is amazing! Look how she has grown! I love her eyes, they are so sparkly.
Wow! What a miracle. How early was she? How much did she weigh and how long was she? Isn't a good NICU such a blessing. Two of my sisters kids have gone into the NICE, but they were not nearly that small. Wow! What a miracle child! I'm so happy for you.
Nila was born at 25 weeks. She weighed in at a whopping 1 lb 3 oz and was 12" long. She spent 5 months in the NICU. I am so extremely grateful that we have such an awesome NICU here!
