Talking My baby boy

I think a few of you will remember me. We welcomed my little boy into our hearts on March 20 of this year. I had a rough pregnancy with migraines, nausea, and a huge helping of CRS. All of that didn't prepare us for his birth. He was airlifted less than 24 hours after he was born to the nearest nicu due to respiratory distress. I'm not a smoker (that's the first thing people ask me) but his nicu team thought that his tachypnea was made worst by the small whole in his heart. He stayed in the nicu for a week before we were able to bring him home. Other than having an extremely overprotective mother he has a fantastic prognosis. The whole in his heart has closed and we've been advised to keep him as germ free as possible.

Without further ado here is my sweet little dude Bodaway Michael Joseph.
Soon after his birth




In the nicu.


A recent picture. Look how big he has gotten!

Re: My baby boy

Oh my gosh, Gwena!! He's so sweet. Look at that grin! You can tell he's a happy little guy. My first son was in NICU for two weeks, so I feel your pain. There's nothing like having to leave your baby at the hospitol, but it's so wonderful when they come home! Congrats!

Re: My baby boy

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm so in love with that pic of him in his tie dye. It's one of those pictures that I'll still be in love with when he's forty.
