We brought Isaac home from the NICU after he was born exactly a year ago.  I have been meaning to post Isaac’s time in the NICU for the last several months.  I figured now is as good as time as any.  Isaac was in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for 15 days after he was born.  We weren’t quite sure how long he would have to be there.  Honestly, I was expecting it to be longer then 15 days.  Those days in the NICU were long, especially not knowing exactly when he could go home.  Isaac showed great improvement each day and his nurses that he had were awesome.  Isaac is definitely a fighter!!  This is a picture I took of him when he was a month old!

The rest of this post is pictures of Isaac’s time in the NICU.  Looking back at these pictures makes me miss those early weeks!  So far each stage of life has it’s ups and downs, but there is just something about those first few weeks that is so special.

This picture shows how tiny this boy was. That is a two ounce bottle.

Isaac’s nurses loved styling his hair after his baths.

Emmett loves his brother. He loves to be close to him, sometimes a little too much.

June 29, 2014 Isaac was discharged from NICU!!

Two of his amazing nurses!

Home sweet home.
