My favourite NICU photos

Recently on the Li’l Aussie Prems website there was a thread where people posted their favourite NICU photograph(s). There were a lot of beautiful photographs.

I found it hard to choose only one, and in the end chose four.

This is her perfect little foot on day 3, the day of her lowest weight (795g).

Avoiding the paparazzi.

Our fingers touching. She is one month old. This photo is slightly out of focus and I intended to try and take it again, but without warning she graduated from the humidicrib to an open cot.

Guess who’s cycling off CPAP and just pulled her feeding tube out again? This is our first photo of her smile.

On a related note - I recommend you take lots of photos AND make a backup copy.  I lost many of my early photos of Talia when my hard drive failed a few months after she came home and I had no backup.
