Preemies 101...

I had my first session in baby care.

~getting to know Maddie~

As a mother of five,

I have had my experience with babies.

But none like this.

This was my first time with preemies.

Let's just say it was quite un-nerving.

It is funny the things we take for granted,

like eating and breathing,

at the same time.

I had a choking episode with Maddie

and this was one rattled grandma.

Jason jumped right in and took over,

Jason, the calm one,

Jason, the stabilizer.

Since then, he has patiently instructed and reassured me.

Even on diaper changing.

(I think I have that one figured out:))

But seriously,

never in my life have I been so proud,

or so thankful,

of this boy of mine,

of this man,

that is now a father.

My heart is blessed.

Like father, like son!
