Our sons Charles George Fitzpatrick and Henry Michael Fitzpatrick were born prematurely on November 16, 2013 at a gestational age of 24 weeks and 1 day. Their "due date" was March 7th, 2014. We started this site on November 28th.
Both Aly and David will be posting to the site. While you will probably be able to tell who is writing by our writing styles, we will sign off on our entries with our initials so you will be sure of the author.

Henry
We think that Henry might not like the dark... Or quiet. It isn't the most controlled experiment in history, though.
When he is awake, Henry mostly looks shocked or suspicious.
My boys both needed an adjustment period post-NICU to get used to dark and quiet. Even with a private room they were used to people in and out and machines beeping. And of course they didn't deal with all the lights and noise nearly as long as Henry did. We found a white noise machine helped a lot!
Stop with that cute outfit I can't. Hope H keeps adjusting to his new surroundings. Also thank you for continuing this blog. Love seeing pics of the boys!

ReplyDeleteI love how chubby his cheeks are!

ReplyDeleteAt 2, Ella still sleeps with 2 noise machines and the light in her closet on (with the door open). He's adorable!
