MADISON, Wis. — Ten tiny fingers. Holding on to a bond created months ago, powered by a mother's love.
"I can't believe how small she is," mom Kelsey Townsend said. "I love you so much, and I missed you."
"Kelsey, she loves her family, and she loves her kids so much," said dad Derek. "I told her this morning that I'm more nervous than I was on our wedding day, or our first date, or the birth of our first child".
Kelsey was nine months pregnant when she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in October. She gave birth on Nov. 4 while in a medically-induced coma.
