i’ve spent the week falling in love with my new niece.<\/div>\n
including falling in love with my new name :: aunt ginger.<\/div>\n
do you blame me?<\/div>\n
she is perfect, you guys.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

collins was born 6 weeks early, and has been spending this first little while in the NICU.\u00a0<\/span>
\nit’s really been tugging at my heartstrings. it’s hard to watch such a precious, perfect little girl go through so much.\u00a0<\/span>i got to hold her for the first time last night and oh my gosh she is precious.\u00a0<\/span>
\nso pure, miraculous, and full of life. i love her.\u00a0<\/span>
\nshe has her mama’s dark flawless skin and brown eyes + her daddy’s blonde hair and defined smile lines, along with the sweetest most tiny fingers and toes i have ever seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

parenting is one of those things where once you’ve experienced it, you just know<\/i>.
\nyou understand the meaning of the dark circles under your mom’s eyes.
\nyou understand when a stranger asks you for a diaper for her 6 week old\u00a0because\u00a0she only packed one. you know what it feels like when your mom goes back home after your first baby is born, and realize why she would wait up for you every night while you were in high school.<\/span>
\nyou understand why mom’s never stop crying.
\nyou know the definition of worry, pain, and genuine happiness.
\nyou can just relate.<\/p>\n

ashley and cody are absolutely incredible parents and t<\/span>heir love for sweet little collins is contagious.\u00a0watching them go through this is such a strength to all of us. a testimony of how deep the love of a parent truly is.\u00a0<\/span>
\nlife isn’t always fair. but i know that we are all strong enough to make it through the hardships that we are faced with. and i know that together they will make it through this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

i pray every prayer that collins will keep fighting. that she will grow and develop so that they will be able to go home quick and begin their new family life the way that they imagined.\u00a0<\/span>collins is a such a strong little girl, and i know she will be just fine!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
