The Nursery

I thought I would share some pictures of the nursery.

Here is Teddy's crib.

Another view of Teddy's crib by doorway.

Bridgette's crib, the lovely closet turned into changing station. Samantha's crib right next to her.

Bridgette & Samantha's cribs next to each other.

Samantha's crib next to large dresser.

The window, you can see the dresser that is next to Samantha and the chair next to Teddy.

We just did a complete circle around the room. All of this squeezed into a nice 10X12 sized room. The cribs are Mini cribs.

Madeline

Our sweet Madeline Jean, had 8 very good days in the NICU. By day 3 Maddie had moved to high flow nasal cannulas for breathing, she was taking feeds and as spunky as ever. On day 8 she became ill, her stomac became enlarged, she was critcal, on day 9 the Doctors took a look inside and found all of her intestines and half of her stomac had died. We had her baptised and held her, as soon as she was in my arms skin to skin with me, we removed her breathing assistance and let her go very quickly and peacefully. We would later find that the cause of her death was NEC (Necrotizing Entrocolitis). We feel blessed to have had her for 9 days.
