May 18, 2011:
You could hear the cries from down the hall, "Doctor needed, baby unresponsive!" Doctors and nurses dashed through the hospital halls, family members paced back and forth in the waiting room. What was suppose to be the happiest day of a mother's life, quickly turned into a parent's worst nightmare.
Daniel and Jennifer just gave birth to their first born child. A precious little girl they named Josephine. They had dreamed of this day forever, but it went nothing like they had imagined. When Josephine was born she was unresponsive. It was a very trying time for these new parents. They could not believe after 9 1/2 months of anticipation for their little girl, they would have to deal with such a tragic event. After eight days were spent in the NICU, they were blessed with a miracle! Little Josephine was healthy enough to bring home for good.
May 18, 2012: This time last year my life changed with 3 little words: Baby Not Responsive. I never knew how much I could hurt because of how much I loved my daughter at first sight. Today we celebrate how strong our little girl is. Happy 1st birthday Josephine. -Jennifer
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Josephine and her parents one year after she entered this world. Never in a million years would I have known she had such a rocky start. She is the healthiest happiest little one year old! We first spent some time playing with Josephine and celebrating how strong she is now. Then the real fun began when we took some Smash the Cake pictures. I have to say Josephine gave me the best reaction to her cake. When Jennifer first set down the cake I wanted to take a quick picture of it before we let Josephine tear it up. Josephine was so excited she could barely contain herself. The moment her daddy sat her down she immediately went to town. I don't believe she stuck a single bite in her mouth, but she had a blast carrying it around like a football and smashing it up in her fingers. Once she got it shredded she then had to stand up and spread it as far as she could. It was a complete success and such a blast to watch! We all laughed the entire time. I wish all one year old's were as excited about their cake as Josephine. She is as cute as a button and so angelic.
Jennifer and Daniel, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such a miraculous milestone in Josephine's life. You both are so strong and have done a wonderful job with her. Make each year the biggest celebration because the two of you are so blessed to have such an amazing daughter!
