Loretta said all the babies were cooperative and enjoyed their photo shoot, although a few slept through it. According to Ascension All Saints Hospital, Loretta has been a NICU nurse at Ascension for 27 years. She understands how hard it is for families to be separated from their loved ones, especially during the holidays.
