New Pictures of the Wee Little Ones

As promised, here are some new pictures of The Wee Little Ones, as Ethan has taken to calling them.

Unfortunately, I have a cold, so I am not able to go visit today (and until I’m completely better). That leaves more time for calling on all of the bills and insurance-related things I need to take care of, but no time for snuggling. I am happy, though, that John is feeling fine and is able to provide Veronica and Colin some daddy attention so they don’t feel neglected.

Here is a picture of Colin with his eyes open. It’s a little blurry — one of the pains of taking a photo through a curved plastic cover — but I wanted to post it anyway, since we don’t get as many chances to see him awake and alert.


And here is a not blurry picture of him with his eyes closed. Because of the bright lights in the NICU, he generally keeps his eyes closed to block out at least some of the stimulus. Unfortunately, there is no way to dampen down the noise from all of the alarms associated with the 10 babies (on average) living in the NICU currently.


And, finally, here is a picture of the little burrito — aka Veronica — as she spends her days now, all wrapped up but no longer needing a heated bed. By next week, she should be off the oxygen too, and we’ll be able to see her face without any tubes.
