After delivering 5 babies at my favorite local hospital, I have had my fair share of nurses and care givers. During each of my hospital stays, there was always that one nurse that I connected with, however I had never connected so well with a nurse as I did when Joey was born.

I will never forget arriving at the hospital the morning Joey was born, not only because it was the day we welcomed our little man into the world but it was also the day I met an amazing nurse named Ashley.

Not only did Ashley do whatever she could to ensure that I was well taken care of, she provided the same care for Joey and even Alex. We also connected on Facebook after my hospital stay and when Joey had his surgery back in 2013, Ashley made sure she was able to come check in on us.

Although Ashley has since relocated, we are still in contact, and now she is a mom too.

I know that I thanked Ashley over and over for her care and attention while I was in the hospital but honestly, there is no way to put into words just how thankful I am that she was my nurse that Sunday morning.
