One of the things I get asked about a lot is what to gift parents with littles in the NICU. I absolutely love being asked and I always hope my answers are helpful, but it’s important to keep in mind is that every baby’s {and therefore parents’} NICU journey is different and I can really… Read More

Since having Sam at 27 weeks gestation, I’ve had all kinds of people reach out and ask how they can support their friends and family members with a fresh preemie just starting their NICU journey.

Bringing Our Preemie Home From the NICU

Jen — Sat, 14 Jan 2017 08:00:58 +0000

Exactly one year ago today, we brought our sweet preemie babe home from the NICU. We had made it.

Jen — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 06:08:55 +0000

If you’ve been around for any amount of time, you probably know that our sweet Sam was born last November when I was just 27 weeks pregnant. After a textbook pregnancy with Miss G and an uneventful first two trimesters with Sam, it was a shock to say the very least. Never in a million… Read More

10 Months of Sam

Jen — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 07:40:30 +0000

Welp. Sam is officially 11 months old in two days, so it’s fitting that we only got around to taking his 10 month photos today {ugh}. Seriously though… Miss G is in school from 9 until 3 and you’d think I’d be able to get all sorts of things done during the day, but honestly,… Read More

6 Months of Sam

Jen — Fri, 06 May 2016 06:32:08 +0000

Our baby boy is 6 months old. Our baby boy is 6 months old! Goodness, I have to let that sink in just a little. It’s hard to believe that he’s already been here with us for half of a year. It doesn’t seem like that long. Time can be cruel, can’t it? Ugh. I’m… Read More

I feel like we’ve had such a big month this month. First off, we seem to have hit a huge turning point as far as Sam’s overall comfort and happiness is concerned, which has been a total game changer. I guess I didn’t come right out an say it, but the first two months… Read More

Today our sweet Sam is 4 months old {and approximately 1 month old corrected}. Believe it or not, this little milk monster has gone from being 7 pounds 6 ounces last month to being a whopping 10 pounds 2 ounces this month! That means that not only did he gain his entire weight at birth… Read More

Our Sweet Little Sam

Jen — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:57:34 +0000

If you would have told me a few months ago that we’d soon be at home with a sweet little man like this and our trickiest issues would be sleepless nights, awful tummy bubbles, and an uncomfortable hernia, I don’t think I would have believed it. But here we are and I’m so thankful. … Read More
