Trent in the Hospital

This morning as I was getting ready I notice this CD from the Hospital and thought I would check it out. These are pictures of Trent while he was still in the NICU. The nurses have a Digital Camera so they can take any pictures while the parents are not there. This is just a few of them but they really help you to understand how small Trent was while he was there. The nurses were incredible and they loved Trent. We are forever grateful for that love and support that they showed not only Trent but also Greg and I.

He loved to sleep on his belly and while in the hospital he was allowed to do that all the time since he was hooked up to so many monitors. They kept reminding me to not do this at home. Now he kind of dislikes his belly.
Isn't he a doll!

He always looked so peaceful. (now he doesn't close his eyes when he sleeps and it just looks creepy.)

Doesn't that pacifier look huge!

He is so cute when he is holding his head with his hands.

Trent in his first Condo! One of his nurses called his bed that and what is funny he would reach out and grab things so you couldn't pull him out. I think he just liked the heating in the Condo.

He looks so peaceful.

So many different tubes. However they really were not there for very long.

He had many IVs he still has a scar where one went bad.
I call it his battle wound. He fought hard and won in the end.
We are very lucky to have Trent with us today. He is very much a miracle baby and I am forever thankful for the IMC and the great NICU staff. They knew us well and treated us so perfectly. I really hope when baby number 2 comes along we don't have to spend time in the NICU but if we do I know how wonderful they are and that my babies will be safe there. Just a reminder to all of you Trent is just one of many babies that has or will have to spend time in the NICU. It is a scary for a new mom and dad for their child to be there but really those babies are getting the best care a hospital can give. SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE NURSES AT IMC NICU.
