The impatient Giant

"Ladies, ladies! I'm not even a day old!"

God and Vondre didn't care about anyone's schedule. He came almost 6 weeks early and didn't ask anybody if that was OK.

There are usually concerns with preemies due to underdevelopment. Because Vondre was a preemie, he was moved into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for exactly two weeks for monitoring and to get up to speed with eating and pooping before he got to go home. Vondre did have slight jaundice in the NICU, but nothing severe.

Thankfully, the only other issue Vondre had in the NICU was all the attention he was getting from the ladies. The nurses couldn't get over him. Not a single nurse entered his room without mentioning how cute he was. And they really meant it. They said if a kid wasn't cute, they'd say something like, "Oh, that hair!"

We're all so thankful for this little Giant. He's already brought us so much joy - and all he's accomplished in life is eating, puking, pooping, sleeping and lots of toothless smiles... with a bit of crying mixed in.

What's life gonna be like when he really gets going?
