Dear Jordy-Bug,
On Day 7, Daddy and I are thankful for our kitties. They love us unconditionally, they greet us when we come home, and they snuggle with us as we drift off to sleep. They are cuddly, soft, and sweet. As you can see by some of the photos where they were watching over your stuff (Landry in your stroller, Echo in your lamb seat, and Murphy/Echo guarding your swing), even they were looking forward to meeting you. Well, maybe not Lucy...she's pretty protective of her Daddy's attention. And maybe not Murphy, because he's a bit of a diva. But Echo and Landry were definitely ready for a new playmate. We still find both of them curled up in your nursery from time to time, and think you three would have been the best of friends. Milo was probably pretty neutral, as he was getting older and weaker. Now that he's joined you in heaven, though, you are both probably running around playing in your healthy bodies and having a wonderful time together. That makes Mommy's heart smile. Take good care of each other, sweetheart.
I love you.
Love,
On March 14, 2012 at 10:58am, our precious Jordyn was born. She was 7lbs, 6oz, 20.5 inches long, had dark brown hair, beautiful blue eyes,...and no heartbeat. Because she was deprived of oxygen during delivery, she spent her time here on earth in the NICU, surrounded by family and friends. We sang to her, read to her, bathed her, combed her crazy hair, changed her diapers, prayed with her, and cuddled her until she died in my arms on the evening of March 28th. These are my love letters to her.

I'm a wife to an amazing man, a mother to a beautiful baby girl in heaven, and her little sister and baby brother on earth. I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a Christian, an Instructional Coach, a Packer Fan, a Badger Fan, and a bit of a neat freak.

On March 14, 2012, I gave birth to Jordyn, the most beautiful baby girl ever. During delivery, however, she was deprived of oxygen. We lived with her in the NICU for two weeks, loving her, holding her, reading to her, singing to her, bathing her, changing her diapers, styling her full head of dark brown hair, praying over her, and sharing her with friends and family, until she went home to Jesus on March 28, 2012. These are my love letters to Jordyn Tyse-Dallas "TD" Sander; our little Jordy-Bug.
That's it! Murphy is a diva. What a beautiful image of Jordyn and Milo playing together! :)
