Then and Now-Ryan

3 1/2 pounds and only 12 days in the NICU-what a miracle worker our God is!  I wish I had more pictures with other points of reference to illustrate better how small he really was.

 

 The bottle Greg was feeding him from was less than 6 inches long

 He really was extremely healthy-wires for monitoring and his nasal feeding tube

 Big progress-an open bed, meaning he could keep his own body temperature up with still several blankets and a hat that he wore ALL the time for a while after coming home. 

Coming home day wearing the outfit I would have worn if I had been a boy

 

 They are not supposed to look this teeny in the carseat-Below meeting Grammy and GG

 

 On his special "Aunt Todd" blanket!

 Our baby announcement picture

 One of my all time favorite pictures!

 Scott was enthralled!  Quite often he would call out "need to go check on baby brubber!"  and he was off.  I was usually running behind to make sure that checking on was all Scott was doing!
