And I'm awestruck that I get to experience her magic.

Yeah, thank you.

No, she's just perfect in every way.

And every parent says that.

But, you know, this morning I was actually at her new preschool to sort of be back there in the context of being a dad.

You know, it's just a wild thing.

You know, she came to the world under sort of very intense circumstances, which I've not really talked about ever.

We were expecting her to arrive in April.

the year she was born.

And, uh, we get a call that it's going to be sooner.

So we, we basically, you know, went into action and, um, she was born via surrogate.

And so we got to the hospital and, um, she came out, she was one pound, 11 ounces.

And,

purple, basically.

These angels at the NICU kind of resuscitated her in that moment and got her taken care of really quickly and intubated and everything else.

Um, because it was COVID times, my wife and I would basically, um, do 12 hour shifts at the hospital for, uh, three and a half months.

I can still sort of like smell it.

You know, there's always visceral things.

It's, it's, it was both comforting and frightening to be there every day and to see sort of other families going through similar situations.

Um, but she fought every day, uh, for three and a half months and, you know, slowly started to gain some weight.
