Emmett Has Arrived!!

Emmett Erickson was born on January 12th, 2010. He was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1 lb, 15 ounces. Cassie developed severe preeclampsia and was forced to deliver him early by an emergency c-section. Although it was an incredibly scary time for both Cassie and Emmett, we have been blessed with many miracles, and both of them are doing well.
 Emmett is currently up to 4 pounds, 4 ounces. He is truly a little bundle of joy, and has such a strong, amazing spirit.  He is still in the NICU (Newborn ICU), and will stay there til sometime around his due date (April 15th).
Due to the circumstances, Cassie is not going to be able to hold a traditional shower. After some brainstorming we decided the best idea for them would be to create a "Virtual Shower".
If you would like to send a gift to her and Emmett, she is registered at both Target and Babies R Us (Links are on the right side of the page). Cash gifts can also be given via the "Donate" button on the right side of the page. Below are pictures of the big gifts that the cash donations will go towards. There are also pictures of his crib bedding if you would like to coordinate your gift to match his decor.
Thank you for all of your love and support. We appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and kindness.
If you would like to contact Cassie, her e-mail is erickson.cas@gmail.com 
If you would like to contribute toward one of Cassie's larger gifts, these are the items we will be purchasing. Money can be given via the paypal donation button on the right, or sent to the address included in your invitation.
