I know, but it’s far more intense when you hear it over and over again for the 6.5 weeks he was in the NICU. Also, preemies are at an even higher risk for SIDS and are vulnerable for a longer period of time than full-term infants. The NICU also required us to read literature on the subject and take infant CPR. They don’t require that of moms with full-term babies (but they should!)

Yay to the one year old!

(the SIDS stuff is not only pushed to moms of preemies; it is pushed to all moms. We had the same monitor..)

I agree, one is an amazing age. It is so much fun, and yet, they are still just these little babies that you just have to cuddle and love. And of course, let sleep in your bed, I mean, they’re BABIES! (well, that’s my justification anyway).

And they just do everything big, you know? Big love, big frustration, big excitement. Love it. The sweetest thing in the whole world is one-year old kisses. I swear it!

You are lucky to be Jack’s parents! Such a strong little guy! Thank you for sharing this post, Candi, it was beautiful, and I loved reading it!
