Parents brag book, post your pics!

[Amys1st]

Lets call this our NICU brag book. I hope we can have some sticky threads that anyone can go right to as a resource.

Post your pics and brag about your cutie! Everyone here can relate. Talk about that itty bitty diaper they put on them- the one you snatched for your scrapbook and another child's dolls! Show you hand next to them, dont worry about anyone asking about the vent tube post those pics!

[Amys1st]

Here are mine:

MAggie is about 18 hours old. the ring is my DH's wedding band for frame of reference.

Here are Chaya and Shira at homecoming:

At homecoming all of the clothing was taped so that it would sort of fit. Notice the cuffs rolled up, too.

I have another outfit that really shows it, but I need to take current pics with it.
