Chloee came to visit Noah today! So sad that she wasn't able to actually see him though :-(. In the NICU, you have to either be over 15 years of age or a sibling with all of your immunization papers in order to get in to see the babies. Unfortunately, Chloee is neither of those, although she could pass for his big sister! LOL. She has been asking questions about Noah since the day she realized that her mom left to come to Orlando because Noah was born. Well...that's a lie. She's been asking questions about him since she found out that I was pregnant!

I remember how scared I was to tell her that I was pregnant, like she was my kid and was going to be heartbroken that she wasn't the center of my life anymore. But...she took it pretty well! She was really excited...until she found out it was going to be a boy! LOL. The funniest question Chloee asked me was "Are you going to have a white baby or a black baby?". This is when I remembered that she was 6 years old!

Even though Chloee wasn't able too see Noah, she did come to the hospital with her mom and Aguillard, and waited in the waiting room watching movies until we were ready to go. The night they got there, I didn't get to see her until I left Noah's room and was headed home. She then gave me this picture and told me that she colored it for Noah! How sweet of my cutie pie to do something like this for her little cousin! She just doesn't know how much that picture meant to me! To make it even more awesome, when we got to my parents' house, she kept asking me if i wanted Noah's gift now or later....Chloee bought Noah an outfit! She is such a sweet girl :-)...my baby girl! Even though my sister is her mother, I still love her as if she was my own.

Chloee, you are such a loving and thoughtful child. There's never a time when seeing you doesn't bring a smile to my face. The love I have for you is unconditional. I love you like you were my own, and Noah is so lucky to have such an awesome big cousin like you to show him how to get things done around here! Thank you so much for being who you are...the best niece/goddaughter in the entire world. Tatie Jessica loves you!
