November

Beautiful Tavish,
Your dad and I have seen lots of pictures of you now, so I can say without a doubt you are the most beautiful baby that ever was. (I promised I'm not biased at all 😏) We had a heart echo done on you, and once again, you were so squirmy they had a hard time getting a good look at you. Silly boy. However, the information was hopeful. Your heart is in great condition; it's beating strong, and as all the parts it needs. They did tell us that you might have a hole in the top of it, but that's not something the doctors are worried about at all right now. You could go months or years before that causes any problems. Your daddy and I took that as an answer to prayer. I've also had two rounds of steroid shots now to make sure that your lungs are fully developed. We don't want anything to be more difficult for you than it needs to be.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving break. We have plans with friends to have a low key Thanksgiving, just the 7 of us (your dad and me, you, our friends, their son, and the baby our friend is pregnant with). It should be a wonderful time :). I hope you get to be with us next year if we do it again. I love the holidays so much. I'm glad you're going to be a Christmas baby. I can't imagine sharing a more wonderful time of year with you.

Love,
Mom
