Retrospect Photos from the NICU

We are finally beginning to settle back in at home (the last few weeks have been a bit surreal), and I got around to uploading all of our photos from the hospital/NICU/first days at home. We were so consumed with Ethan's condition when he was in the NICU that we took very few photos during his first couple weeks of life (which I later regretted). I made a conscious effort to try to capture more photos of Ryan during our NICU stay this time.

Ryan receiving oxygen in his "hood", he also has a scalp IV and nasal-gastric tube

Ryan's isolette in his NICU room (all of the NICU rooms are private at the hospital where he was delivered which was incredibly nice)

Getting to hold Ryan for the first time since right after he was born
Dan holding Ryan after his scalp IV was removed
Phototherapy for Ryan's high bilirubin level (I thought it was cute how he was grasping his puppy Wubbanub pacifier with both hands)
Swaddled- Our little Ryan "burrito" :)
He looked so tiny in the carseat during his carseat test!
