The 26-year-old says the special visit is keeping her spirits up.

The crime took place on March 18 at the home of Dynel Lane. Lane, 34, faces attempted murder and assault charges for allegedly stabbing and injuring Wilkins and cutting the baby from her womb and stealing it. The incident happened after Wilkins came to the house apparently to view baby clothes put up for sale on Craigslist.

An autopsy determined the child was not alive after it left its mother's body.
