Misty and I spent about an hour at the Amelia Center this morning. Ironically this place has the same name as our daughter. What an amazing resource for people that are going through the grieving process of children and/or siblings. They gave us a great list of books for us to check out for Ben so we can get started tonight explaining to him that his new baby sister is more than likely not going to live very long. So that process will start sometime tonight or tomorrow. We also thought it would be a good idea to get a book on how the heart works so he can understand this part of Amelia's life. Who knows this may inspire him to be a heart surgeon when he grows up.
We also have to go buy some clothes for this little girl. Of course we don't know how much or what all we need. We are just going to buy several things and then if God takes her away from us quickly then we can always donate the clothes to the NICU unit @ St. Vincent's Hospital. We can now relax some over the weekend and try and allow Ben to have a normal a time as possible. In fact we have to go buy his school supplies this weekend for his new 4 year old class that starts Monday. So that will be a lot of fun for him.
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support. We are now just waiting until Tuesday.
