"Our Little Angel"



Our little miracle, Leigthton Bolynn Snow, was born on June 29th at 2:23 AM at MckayDee Hospital in Ogden, UT. She weighed in at a whopping 2 lbs. 7 oz!!! That's right, she definitely is our little miracle. Just to give you an idea of how tiny that is; the pictures show her wearing Davis' wedding ring as her bracelet! I couldn't believe it actually fit. I think pictures make her look bigger than she actually is, but this paints a clear picture of our reality.
Her coming was definitely unexpected. Her due date was not until August 24th! I ended up developing pre-eclampsia, and things went down hill really fast. I ended up needing an emergency c-section and then our angel was born. Our lives our crazy right now; nothing like we had planned, but we couldn't imagine life without her now. All of our time is spent at this hospital holding and staring at our sweet girl.
Thank you to everyone that has had her in their prayers. We really have felt all of the love and blessings that people have been wishing upon us.

Rachael,
Congratulations on your little baby girl. She is so precious and perfect and soon she will be home. I also had a premie and although it is very hard to leave her in the hospital, that is the best place for her right now, so she can grow. You are amazing. Shelley told me of your dedication and care for your little one. Take care of yourself so when she gets home you will be feeling great to take care of her. You three make a beautiful family. Congratulations to Mom and Dad.
Come and see us when you can.
