this past week in pictures

Here are a few random shots from this past week.

Hunter and Jaina got to hold Scarlett for the first time this past week! They were SO excited and I'm so thankful they got to do that.

Jaina also got to help me change Scarlett's diaper. She thought that was pretty exciting!

Jaina made this bracelet for Scarlett when the babysitters were watching her. She didn't even measure how big to make it. She told me she just remembered how big her hand was when she held it and that's how big she knew how to make it. Smart girl!

There are a lot of nurses at Primary Children's watching over Scarlett, but there are a few that I've really grown to love.

This is Rahndi (pronounced Ron-D). She is pretty much the funniest easy going nurse I've ever known. I've learned over these past few weeks that she loves to can, has two kids whom she loves and we joke about how funny our kids are, and she has the cutest hair.

And this is Eve. Every morning when she watches Scarlett, she does salon day and has Scarlett's hair all perfect for me when I come in to visit. She is so cute with Scarlett and treats her like she is her favorite patient. 

Eve recommended that we do a family movie night with Scarlett and our other children so we could somewhat have a taste of what it would be like if Scarlett were home with us. We did that yesterday and it was so wonderful! The Lorax was playing on the TV, we were eating pizza,  the kids were fighting, and I got to hold Scarlett for as long as I wanted. It was just like we were at home on a Friday night and it was heaven!

Words can't describe how much we love Scarlett. One of my favorite things about her is when she opens her eyes after being fast asleep and she'll be looking right at me. I always want to remember those beautiful, gentle eyes.

I also love her cute little nose, her dainty hands, her skinny little legs and her curled little pinky toe on her left foot.

But especially I love the feelings I have when I am with her. They are feelings of love, peace and hope.
I love that baby's are straight from heaven and so sweet and innocent and knowing that Scarlett will soon be going back to heaven makes me realize how close I have become to my Heavenly Father and how His plan has become so real to me. I'm so grateful I have that knowledge and testimony. I was reading in the scriptures today that Heavenly Father gives us trials so we don't forget Him. And how could I forget Him when I know my baby will be going back into the safety of His arms.
Scarlett is a special baby and I know Heavenly Father loves her as much, if not more, than I do. She has touched so many peoples heart, including mine. The nurses at Davis hospital told me they called her
"baby angel".
She really is an angel.
