Jackpot!

I feel like I won the lottery!

After Julia was born, the nurse took a handful of pictures. I thought that they had printed all of them off for us. I have looked at those pictures so many times...

I knew my husband had saved the first half of them onto our laptop we had with us and I thought they were just the same as what we already had. I was looking for them today b/c I am making a shadow box for her and wanted a jpg file to print off a higher quality picture.

When I found them I could hardly believe my eyes!! <3 There are several new pictures I have never seen from when she was still alive. I can tell from her colouring. <3 :***(

...But I am sooo grateful!!

I am going to contact the hospital to see if they still have the others they took - at the time they told me they keep them for years just in case parents ever changed their minds. I assumed all these years that they had given us prints of all the pictures they had taken!
