NICU pictures

I had a hard time acknowledging that Ruby was in the NICU for so long...because no one could figure out any conclusions to what was going on inside Ruby's little body, they'd say, "plan on staying a few more days."  I didn't really think we'd be in as long as we were.  My friend, who is a photographer asked me if I wanted pictures of her in the NICU and I thought, no way.  I just want to get this part overwith and start normal life with her at home.  Then, I realized that although it was different than any of my other kids start in life, this is Ruby, and I want to remember this too.  I am not "missing" her newborn stage...her newborn stage is just different, and I need to accept that. 

So I called my friend, Lindsay, back and asked her if we could squeeze some pics in before she took a big trip to Europe. 

I will always love these and am so grateful she offered to do this!
