There are four different nurseries in the hospital... the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NNICU), then the Special Care Nursery (SCN), then the Level 2 Nursery, then the regular nursery - not sure what they call it - the one for giant babies who go home two days after they're born :) All of our babies started in the NNICU, and a few weeks ago Olivia and George were transferred to the SCN. Today, Samuel was transferred to the SCN!!! It was such a wonderful surprise! He also came out of his isolet and into a radiant warmer (more of an open bed, but with the ability to warm the baby with a heat lamp from above). With Olivia out of isolation (yea!), and both she and George in open cribs, and Samuel in the radiant warmer - we were able to all climb into Samuel's bed to get our first group photo :)
Samuel is now a little more than 3 pounds, Olivia is a little more than 5 pounds, and George is more than 5 1/2 pounds. Too funny, we thought Olivia and George were tiny... until we laid them all together :) But our little man, Samuel, is growing by the day!
I'm not going to lie... DB and I both had tears in our eyes :)
I'm guessing this is a sign of things to come... one covering the face, one with one eye closed, and one not even looking at the camera! But they sure are cute :)
The Byrne Family... of five!
