Ines

The first time I heard the news about Margaret and her little baby girl I was so saddened. I called Margaret and tried to cheer her up but my tears just came down uncontrollably down my cheeks when I spoke to her. Even though I am not yet a mother, I can understand how tough it must be to decide the fate of your baby at week 25. And I was not at all surprised to hear that our Margaret, who is one of the strongest girls I know, decided to keep the baby and keep fighting. This week, we were so happy to finally see Baby Ines after months of suspense (even just pictures of her). Although she had a operation right after she was born, by Day 6, she was already breathing on her own. Just like her parents, she is a strong fighter herself too. We are all so proud of Margaret, Julien and their new family member, little Ines. Ines, we can't wait to see you and hold you. As we all had expected, you are a beautiful girl and your daddy will certainly have a hard time keeping the boys away from you (especially with mommy's charming genes!). Keep fighting, little Ines!
