These are some of the messages that parents left for their children during our Open House

These are some of the messages that parents left for their children during our Open House. They were asked to write about the first time they saw their children, and what it meant for them...

"When Oliver was born on December 27, 1993, he cried for one minute until we were able to hold him. Then he had his first meal and smiled and has not stopped smiling since. We both felt that we were so very lucky to have a beautiful baby boy in our arms with big brown eyes that twinkle. The first word that you said Oliver, we are almost certain was either "toy" or "lego". We love you more than the moon, more than the sun and much, much more than the big ocean. Portate bien, love,
Mami y Papi

Kevin, the day we saw you for the first time, we felt tremendous joy, you were the most beautiful tiny baby we had ever seen. We were the happiest parents in the whole wide world. We are very proud to have you for our son. We love you very, very, very much, to infinity and forever.......

The day I first saw you was the day you were born. I was very happy that you were my little girl. You looked very little and were crying a lot. I was very happy that you were a healthy baby girl.

On the day that I first saw you I was a little scared because you were a little blue. But then you turned a beautiful shade of pink and I knew that everything was okay. I was so happy to see you and was thankful to God that you were well!

The first time I saw Alexander Ellis was the happiest moment of my life.
You were the most beautiful child I ever saw. You were tiny and had a soft white downy hair all over. You were soft and warm. I knew you were the one I had waited for. I knew I would love you forever. I knew in my heart you would be the beautiful boy you are inside your heart. I love you so much.
Love Mommy.

The first day I saw you I was filled with love. You were a beautiful little baby. My first thoughts were of happiness.

Love Daddy

The moment I saw you I love you more than anything else. I felt so excited because I had a beautiful baby boy and since I already had a beautiful girl it was perfect. My first thoughts when i looked at you were many - so many that I can't write about them all. I remember that I was so happy that I cried. Sometimes we cry when we are happy. You looked quite different to Nathalia. You had dark hair. How strange that you are now blonder than she is. You were a big baby and you drank alot. That hasn't changed, has it? The best part of that moment was that my baby boy would grow each day and each day brings lots of surprises.

The day you were born was one of the most happiest days of my whole life. I felt and still feel as the luckiest mother on earth to have such a wonderful, caring and loving child. The day Daniel was born, he was the most beautiful baby in the world. Kiddo, you turned out to be very handsome and sweet. My first thought was how lucky I am to have you and be able to love you unconditionally!
Love, hugs and kisses,
MOM

******************************************************************From to Emma

" Dear Emma. Unfortunately, I was very ill when you were born, so I did not get to see you right away.You were very tiny and needed to be kept warm in an incubator. You were my little miracle and I knew I had never loved anyone more in my whole life. Your Mommy."

to Max

" Dear Max, I thought it was a miracle that you were born. I was scared because you were sick. You looked tiny but cute. Love your Dad"

"Dear Max: When you were born I was very sick and so were you. So I only saw you for one minute before they rushed you to another hospital. I thought you were a tiny miracle and I loved you more than I ever loved anyone in my whole life. Your Mom"
