Be Thankful For Your Healthy Babies!

I had to go to NICU today to take pictures of a baby that was getting to go home, it was a great day for everyone involved...but while I was there, I had to take a few minutes to take it all in. I was surrounded by endless rows of baby incubators. They had babies of all sizes, and the nurses were soooo wonderful to actually take the time to talk to me and let me see a little bit of what they do everyday. All I can say is...WOW! All nurses are special, but these ladies are out of this world! Check out the diaper below...its what they use for the tiniest babies. It weighs 8 grams and the only way they know how much a baby is expelling is to weigh the diaper and subtract 8 grams from it. Isn't that so sad? My NICU experience was bittersweet today!



Look how tiny!?!? The Newborn diaper looks so big, which is usually so small.
The NICU diaper measures 4 inches! it literally fit into the palm of my hand!
