Addison recently got an invitation in the mail for a party to celebrate all of the NICU babies. I wish it would've arrived earlier! Since we just made a trip home there was NO way to turn right around & do it again the following weekend. Maybe next year...
Addison was in the NICU for 6
measly long days. That was nothing compared to the preemie babies, like
Avery, who stayed for almost 2 months in the NICU. I remember clearly, all the trips back & forth to the NICU. The same routine every.singe.time. Buzz in, wash hands, put on the raggedy yellow gown, gloves & sometimes a mask.

Once Addy started getting better we never knew what we were going to walk in & find. The wonderful nurses took such good care of all the babies.
Those 6 days were traumatic enough without truly knowing the seriousness of Addison's situation. I didn't know just how serious until the last day - right before she was discharged.
We now have a happy, healthy 3 year old that fills our days with joy & laughter!

Ok I am so scared to click submit on this comment. Your blog shut me down again today at work. HA!
What a sweet comment on my NICU post! :) You are one of the very best moms I know. Your girls are so lucky to have you for a mom. We missed you at the NICU party but don't feel too bad. I didn't recognize any of the kids or nurses and the doctors weren't there. next year, we'll all go together so we know someone! ;)
I asked for Joan but she no longer works at SF. Probably all those times she let me cheat and nurse Avery when I was 'allowed'! HA!
That should say when i wasN'T allowed!
