October

Sweet little Tavish,
Your dad and I have had a scare this month. We thought you might be coming early. Thankfully it was a false alarm. We also had a meeting with the doctor that runs the NICU team. She told us some upsetting information about our doctor. Apparently he thought we weren't going to fight for you. We set them straight pretty quick on that. How could we not fight for you my darling little boy? You have already made it farther than anyone expected you to. As long as you keep fighting, we will keep fighting.

After such month, we felt like we needed to go away for a little bit. Neither one of us has been to San Antonio before, and now you'll get to go too. We have a hotel not far from the River Walk, and we're going to see the Alamo. The best part? I get a whole day off of work! I am definitely looking forward to what should be a lovely, long weekend. I don't know everything we will do while we're there, but that's the whole point. To relax, and not do very much at all. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as you dad and I will. Just keep growing stronger baby boy. I look forward to your birthday, and seeing your sweet face.

Love,
Mom
