Why the Baby Came Early

Yesterday when the kids were leaving the NICU after their visit, a nurse asked them if they liked seeing their baby. Lucas spoke right up and said.
"Yes. Our baby came early. He wasn't supposed to come until July. But his sac that he sleeps in broke so he had to come out to find a new bed.".


Today's updates: Totally off oxygen, IV practically has just fluids and nothing else (probably will remove IV tomorrow) and he didn't officially latch on earlier while nursing but super close and is definitely getting the right idea.

  8. That's really cute of Lucas. I thought you were going to say something about him praying that he'd come early. Whew, that would have been crazy.

    He'll like his real new bed at home the most, and you will too. Glad he won't be in the NICU for way long because he's doing so well!

  12. That's so cute-- Lucas is such a smart kid! Ryder is adorable, and you look terrific! I'm sure it must be hard being in limbo right now, but "this too shall pass," even though it may seem like it never will. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
