"Tell the little guy I said Hi"

On Wednesday this week, I stopped by my Mom's (who lives 5 minutes away) to see my nephews for a few minutes before heading to the hospital. 

I have two nephews, Derek who is 12 and Bryce who is 10. 
Bryce was at camp, but Derek was there.
This was the first time I saw Derek since Sean's birth.

I explained to Derek that babies stay in Mom's womb for 9 months, but that Sean decided to arrive 3 months earlier.  I told him that Sean will be in the hospital for a couple of months and he will be able to meet his cousin when Sean gets realeased from hospital.  I shared with him a few pictures of Sean in the incubator. 

I gave Derek and customary hug & kiss and said "Goodbye".
He said, "Tell the little guy I said Hi". 
I loved this and wanted to share.

It has been a incredible blessing for the last 12 years being Derek & Bryce's "Tia" (Auntie in Portuguese).

Now it's time to embark on this new journey of being Sean's Mommy. 
With God all things are possible.
