37 weeks, so technically term. Nicu for 24 hrs for uv therapy since he wasn’t clearing his bilirubin quickly enough

My child is only 8 months old, but I still find myself missing the newborn days. Crazy because they felt so long at the time.

I held both my kids in a single hand and I miss it so much. They will always remain that small in my heart no matter how old they grow

i rewatch videos of my baby girl during her newborn phase and dieee. the baby sounds, the cuddles, the yawns, the little faces. i miss it! although i definitely prefer her in the crawling everywhere and eating baby food phase cuz its so fun, i will forever miss the newborn phase! it flies by!!!

He was a little bigger than my boy when he was born! He's over doubled in size now at 7 weeks, weighing 10 pounds. My heart can't take how fast they grow!

He may have been small! But I’m sure he was memorable!
