Calah's 1st week was a tough one emotionally for me. I was ecstatic over her birth, but 2 days afterwards my grandmother passed away. She was one of my best friends and confidants. She had been progressively getting weaker for months, but wanted so badly to see Calah that I believe her will held on just long enough. My parents came out to Fredericksburg the day Calah was born, dad left the following day and went back to the shore. On Monday he visited my grandmother and showed her photos of Calah and she passed away that morning at 6am. It was devestating to me and my family. Calah had just been sent home from the hospital and had jaundice so they were making me take her to the lab for her heel to be pricked and then to the doctor's office EVERYDAY!! I was not sure if I was going to get the go ahead for travel back home for my grandmother's funeral. We did not find out until Thursday afternoon, the day before the funeral, that the doctor's were going to let Calah and I travel. So these are a couple of photos from that trip. It's amazing how much she had changed in just a couple of months!!
