Jordy's Birthday!

September 1st was my baby sister, Jordy's, birthday. She turned 11 and I can not believe how little she was. She weighted 3 lbs when she was born and was in NCIU for exactly one month. She was 9 weeks premature, and we almost lost my mom and Jordy. It was probably the scariest thing I had to face when I was younger.

It was really weird because this year on September first I found myself back in the ICU supporting Britt and my in-laws because Britt's grandma Sperry had open heart surgery on the 31st and she was in ICU for a few days. It was a coincidence that I was back in the ICU exactly 11 years later from the first time I had seen my sister. I hadn't been in there since Jordy was there.

For Jordy's birthday she had a swim party with her friends at my parents neighbor's house. My dad and Lyndsey had a ball game and Britt had school till 8 so it was just me and my mom and 5 little girls.


All Jordy has wanted for a long time was Roxy bedding for her bedroom. My mom didnt want to just go buy it for her so she waited for her birthday to give it to her. I think Jordy would tell you it was well worth the wait.

I think Jordy had a pretty good birthday. She got everything she had asked for and she got to spend it with her family.

We love her very much and are so thankful she survived her tough start. She has always been a little spit fire and she fought everyday for the first year of her life and I am so glad she did. She is the best baby sister anyone could have. I love her so very much!


As far as Grandma Sperry goes. She is doing GREAT!! She was home in less then a week after surgery. She is a trooper. Britt and I are so thankful to have her with us still and we are so glad our son will be able to meet Britt's grandma. We love Elma very much and are so very thankful to have her in our lives. She is an amazing woman and such a great example to everyone!
