Letters
Emma was diagnosed with ventriculomegaly during her routine 20-week ultrasound. Things started to get a little hectic after that, and instead of trying to keep all of our friends and family members up-to-date on an individual basis, I started writing these letters and sending out mass e-mails.
1st Edition Emma Hope Newsletter - July, 2003. We get our first ride in an ambulance.
2nd Edition Emma Hope Newsletter - August, 2003. Nothing interesting, really - just keeping everyone up-to-date.
