Since he was born so early of course he had to stay in the NICU for a while, 3 weeks actually. It was tough coming home without him and even tougher having to ask permission to hold your own baby. He seemed so healthy to us, especially compared to some of the other babies in there with him, so we were extremely thankful for that. All the nurses fell in love with him from day one. He even made a friend while he was there...his name was Janari and he was born the same day James Dexter was although he was only 27 weeks gestation. Maybe one day these boys will meet up in the future...you never know!
Here are some shots of his NICU stay:
Daddy giving him some attention.
James Dexter had a little surprise for Daddy!
Laying with all those nasty mean wires connected to him.
Holding Mommy's pinky.
Holding onto Daddy's finger.
Love the faces...that is why the nurses loved him so much because he was so expressive!
Look at all that hair!
Sweetness.
I waited a long time to pinch his little butt cheeks but since he didn't have any because he was so small I had to settle for pinching the diaper!
