I hope that Will, looking back on today
Will remember a mommy who had time to play;
Because he'll grow up while I'm not looking
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm loving my baby, and babies don't keep.

NICU Reunion

September 18th we were lucky to attend our 2nd Waukesha Memorial Hospital NICU Reunion. It's a little get together for anyone who is a graduate of the WMH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Will was a proud resident for nearly 7 weeks after he was born and we became quite close with a number of our nurses.

We are so blessed to have access to a Level 3 NICU and Will was saved daily by the angels who are there. They are truly special people who saw this scared mama through many scary days and nights, and just as many uneventful, let-him-grow, lets exchange recipes because it's 1 am and these little nuggets are just sleeping, nights. :)

It was truly emotional to reunite with them, and even more so that they remembered me, almost 4 years later. Will is one of a few preemie buddies attending the NICU reunion, and was so excited to see one of his BFF's Brody there to wreak a little havoc.  I waited 7 long weeks to be sure one day I'd watch him tear it up like that, and I think those nurses did too.
