- 1. Arianna Lexus Ricketts The more she grows, the more she amazes us!
- 2. At 1:21pm on May 16th, 2009 we were blessed with the most beautiful little girl. We named her Arianna. Due to her being 12 weeks early, she only weighed in at 3 pounds 7 ounces and measured 16 inches long. She was so small. She was a fighter though and we had never been more proud.
- 3. On June 3rd we got a call saying she most likely wouldn’t make it through the night. One of the scariest things you could ever hear, but for someone so small she had more strength than ever and she pulled through. She stayed in the NICU for about a month and a half before she was finally able to go home June 29th.

- 10. She was definitely a daddy’s girl. She stuck to him like glue when he was around. Who would have thought that tiny little munchkin could turn into such a chunky monkey?
