NICU Reunion

On Sunday, before the shoe incident, we went to Lindsay's NICU reunion they have once a year. It is so neat to see the doctors, nurses, and other babies that were there the 3 months she was in the hospital. Everyone thought Lindsay looked so good and were amazed that she doesn't have any problems. Here are some pictures.....

It was a jungle safari theme but I think Lindsay knows the elephant is not real. :)

Lindsay with CHOCO the bear...she didn't know what to think.



When I delivered the girls there was a whole team of people in the delivery room. Two ob-gyn doctors, 3 delivery nurses and a seperate team for each girl from the NICU consisting of a neonatonolgist, repiratory therapist, and NICU nurse. This doctor was the neonatologist who took Taylor after she was delivered and he also took care of Lindsay the whole time she was in the hospital. I think he is checking Brian out....


This was Taylor's nurse the first day and Lindsay's nurse numerous times. She was one of our favorite nurses in the NICU.


This little girl was born a week before Lindsay, her mom was 23 1/2 weeks pregnant when she delivered. The little girl left the hospital a few days before Lindsay so they were roomies for 3 months. We got to know this family very well.

The little girl in the middle was born a week after Lindsay, she was also 23 1/2 weeks along. So these three girls basically spent the first 3 months of their lives together.

Jen,
This so beautiful and so inspirational! How great that you had a team of people who were there to help you guys AS WELL AS a group of people who were in the exact same boat!
Lindsay is so cute...what a great story she will have to tell too, about her sister, her great mom and dad and a plan for her life that started with a struggle! Good for her! Good for you!!!
