When Peter was born at 30 weeks, we were scared and didn't know what to think . . . lucky for us there was a sweet little girl in the isolette next to him who had already done a month's worth of "time" in the NICU. We wish she could have baked a little longer, but we are so thankful to have met her and her mom & dad. Samantha was born at 26 weeks gestation . . . she had a rough road in the NICU, spending 90 days (compared to Peter's 52). Samantha and Peter were due to be born on the same weekend in July . . . they had other plans . . . or, maybe fate just intervened so these two could meet. One year ago today, Jim & Sandy welcomed their little sweet pea into the world . . . Happy Birthday, Sami!
On Peter's discharge day (July 2011) . . . the nurses snuck us into Sami's nursery
October 2011 . . . a visit to the NICU aftercare clinic
November 2012 . . . pizza for moms and dads . . . milk for us
December 2012 . . . we rolled on the floor . . . moms and dads looked silly playing Fruit Ninja
February 2012 . . . . one last visit before Peter moves to Grand Rapids (no worries . . . these two will still have playdates . . . even if there is more travel involved!)
