Make it Personal

Fun Blankets are the first way to make it yours

If your a long-term NICU resident like we were you will want to make your bed have some personality.  The longer you are there the more you will add to it.

A Case of Happy

Friends are the best

When Lil' C got big enough that we cold hold him we started to introduce fun stuff.  We brought in books and some toys.

Swaddling in a Womb with a view

Standard NICU position does not leave much room for comfort

When I began hunting preemie books I only found one that I recommend,  which is the Sear's book.  In it he refers to the incubator as a "womb with a view" and it made me smile, so I'll use it here :)
There is very little you can do when your baby is in a plastic womb, other than watch.  A few things that we found I'm going to share with you today.

Baby is growing & Major updates

Sorry it took me so long to get back on here.  Christopher was born on March 19. at 1lb 4oz.  He is currently 2lb 4oz.  Christopher's FB group now has 546 members.  It is still really crazy.  Some days are good, some are ok and some are AWFUL! There have been about 3 days that we wouldn't leave because we were afraid he was going to die at any minute.  There have also been somedays that everything is going good and we make plans about what we are going to be doing when we gets big and strong enough to go home.  It really is a big roller coaster.
Here's my adorable son :D
