Here are a collection of photos of Declan and Darcy’s first day in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). While the various tubes and sensor leads might catch you off guard or suggest something about their condition, they are standard precautions and support for babies born pre-term. Both babies are doing very well.
I’m so happy for you guys! The babies are beautiful! I can hardly wait to see them!
I am so happy that they are both doing well. It’s amazing to be able to share in your experience from far away through the blog. I’ll continue to pray that they stay safe and healthy and that you all adjust well to all that is going on. Love you all! xoxox
