2010 marked our 3rd year to trek back to the hospital where it all began. Being in the
NICU is not the ideal situation for anyone, but looking back on the 26 days that the girls spent there, I have almost exclusively fond memories. We learned so much about taking care of our babies - how to adjust feeding methods to make sure they ate enough, how to rub their back just right to get a great burp, how to hold a slippery tiny baby while bathing. Once we were home I didn't worry if the girls were still breathing because they had been hooked up to monitors 24-7 for the first month of their life and had never stopped breathing. As hard as that first month of their life was, I can't help but be so thankful to all the sweet nurses who made our stay in the
NICU bearable - and even taught us a thing or two (or fifty) about taking care of our new babies.
So here is a big thank you to all the
NICU nurses who helped us out along the way.
