The girls all join hands for some Chrismtas song singing.
Then Ellie started her own singing/gagging rendition and Julia stepped in quickly to help.
The nurse had just left so Julia was my extra hand helping Ellie empty her stomach so she doesn't spit too much up and swallow it back into her lungs. Here she is holding the syringe full of stomach contents for me. And I had hoped one day they would simply braid each other's hair when we learned we were having another girl. Boy do I dream small.
Coincidentally, Julia chose that moment to say "when I grow up I want to be a mommy". I then told her if that's what God wants her to do I would help her take care of her baby like she is helping me take care of mine.
