I had OakLeigh Rose Haak on May 18th at 6:45pm. It's been a month. She is in the NICU. I wanted to go see her. I called Jonah. "Hey baby." He says. "I want to see OakLeigh." I say. "We can we I come visit." He says. He hangs up the phone. I pulled up our messages I saw our baby picture.

Her now. I can't wait to see and hold my baby. I see Jonah walk in. "Maya is having her baby." He says. He helps me up and gets me ready. "Where am I going?" I say. "Your getting discharged." He says. "We are leaving OakLeigh here by herself." I say in tears he hugs me. "She is in good hands baby." He says. "I can't leave her she our baby Jonah moms are suppose to leave with their baby's." I say. I was crying. "She will be home soon Franks." He says. He gives me a kiss on the lips and I kissed back. "We will come see her everyday if you want?" He says. I nodded yes. "Okay. We will. Let's get you dressed so we can go see her." He says. He helps me in the shower. I got dressed in clean clothes he gave me. Lola comes in. "Can I do your makeup and hair?" She asks. "Sure." I say. "I know you hate leaving your baby here." She says. Giving me a hug. I was ready to go see Oak. I see Zig with his baby. "Zig she is beautiful." I say. "Well you can come over and hold her until OakLeigh is home if you want." He says. I smile. "Okay thank you." I say. We head into the NICU. I go to her bed. I see her all hooked up to the machines. Jonah and Lola put their hands on my shoulder. Maya comes in. "Frankie she is beautiful." She says. The nurse told me if I wanted to hold my baby. I nodded yes. "She is almost ready to have no oxygen on her. She is breathing on her own. She is learning suck on her bottle." The nurse says. "So is she almost ready to go home with us?" I say. "I would say in a week or two." She says. I smile. The nurse took off her oxygen I hear her breathing on her own. We tried feeding her on the bottle she is growing quickly. I handed her to Jonah. "I hold her enough. You need to bond with her." He says. "Sit with me?" I say he does. He kisses my cheeks and pecks my lips.
