How old is our peanut?

Lilypie Premature Baby tickers

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

OK, here's the inaugural video of the baby, which was taken because we wanted to provide an opportunity to actually hear Anne, and see her in action. With apologies, the clip is nearly a week old - I point that out because at the time it was taken, she got all upset about diaper changes, which really doesn't happen at this point. Oh well, she still sounds the way she does in the video - I've literally heard her from outside her specialty care unit and thought to myself: "That's my kid." As a last thought, listen for when the nurse refers to "dad," who is clearly clueless. The nurse is the incredible Dierdre, who helped me out when Libby was off her feet and I did the holdings at feeding time. More and better videos coming - we'll keep you posted.

  1. Such a tiny cry yet so angry! Funny and heartwrenching all at the same time.

  2. Oh wow, those diaper are huge on her! And while I don't like hearing her cry, it's such a cute little cry!

  3. Hearing her cry, hard, was just the best sound to hear in the seconds after she was born. It was a relief, since we knew she'd struggled to grow and since it indicates she's healthy. It also helps babies turn from blue to pink! She's not very fussy at all right now, although we're told their personalities really change as they near their due dates.
