Out of the NICU and Updates

Miss Bethany is finally out of the NICU after 5 1/2 months. Of course, less than a week later, she ended up in the PICU with a respiratory infection, where she still is 2 weeks later. Alexander caught her infection as well, and spent 4 nights in the hospital.

Needless to say, things have been a bit busy here, and I'm only now getting around to packing up the bags I meant to get to earlier this year. I'm hoping to get those delivered this week.

We're set on blankets, unless you've got some knitted or crocheted ones. We're probably going to need to make a run to IKEA for more animals before our next batch goes out. I think we have enough outfits left, but probably will be looking for boy and neutral outfits if not for the next batch, then after that for sure. We have hats still, but could use more. We're adding travel sized hand sanitizer this go-around, and planning to add small notebooks too.

For the holidays, we'd like to do something nice for all of the preemie families in the NICU here. Maybe some cocoa packets or coffee packets? Maybe newborn or 0-3 months onesies? Not sure yet, but watch this space for more thoughts. If you're interested in helping out, let me know.
