Cassie asked permission and then took and sent me sweet photos of our girl from all kinds of angles with that precious bow + her new personality blanket.
Our sweet baby was born at 34 and 5 in an emergency situation. Once she made it to NICU, the entire team was wonderful and attentive to her medical needs and helped us understand everything that was going on with her. Cassi was attentive to those needs, but she went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and to show our baby care as an individual, not just a patient.

After helping us bathe our baby, she said she had to add some things to her bed to help her feel better. She left and returned with a cute little bow and told us we had to choose between 2 blankets, one she found and thought matched our girl's personality, the other she said matched our lives because the night before we told her how we play music and sing together and this blanket had music stuff all over it! How sweet that she saw something that reminded her of our conversation, still thought of whom our little love is growing into, and brought us options for cuteness -- in a time where nobody else was thinking of cute stuff for her that she could actually have right now, we were all just working on keeping her healthy.

Cassi asked permission and then took and sent me sweet photos of our girl from all kinds of angles with that precious bow + her new personality blanket. This sweet blanket change for the next few days brought me so much joy because Cassi was right, it matched our little love's happy personality so well with the bright yellows and sweet sunflowers! Each night of her rotation, Cassi went out of her way to come to check on us and help us feel some normality in the midst of all this emergency care.
