Mommy's NICU Birthday

Today’s was Mommy’s 26th birthday and she spent it with us at the NICU. We asked Daddy to have a card waiting for her from us at the RMH and since we aren’t able to walk yet we asked our nurses today to go get Mommy a present. We lay quietly in our crib waiting for Mommy and the rest of our family to arrive and for our nurse to deliver the surprise. Mommy made it to the NICU before our nurse got back from picking up our surprise.
When our nurse got back to our room she handed Mommy a pretty coffee mug with some chocolates and a balloon wishing Mommy a happy birthday from us. Mommy loved it and we think we could see a little tear in her eye. We don’t think she expected it and was really surprised.
After Mommy and Daddy finished with our cares Grandpa and Grandma took Mommy out to birthday dinner at Shogun. We hear that they made a bunch of noise, sang Mommy a song, made her and Daddy dress up, and took their picture. They ate a birthday cake that matched the cookies we had delivered by Grandma to the nurses to help celebrate Mommy’s birthday. The cake looked a little funny though because Angus and Izzy, who we have not met yet, decided they would have a taste too while the cake was in the car. Angus tried to deny it but he had some blue frosting left over on his whiskers. Mommy didn’t mind though, she just laughed.
We are happy we could spend Mommy’s birthday with her. We think she enjoyed having us around. She told us what a great day it was and how thankful she is for everyone who made her feel special on her day.
