My NICU Diary - Week 1

While Liv was in the NICU there were so many ups and downs. The easiest way I found to keep a journal during that time was on Instagram. You can see my posts here.  

Now that we all know how this story ends it doesn't feel as relevant, but I did take weekly photos of my Livvy to track her growth and progress. It is amazing looking back at where she started to where she is today. 

Liv had a rough start at life. It broke my heart watching her tiny lungs work so hard to breath. Time in the NICU passed by so slowly yet things changed so quickly. One week she was fighting for her life, the next she was breathing on her own and sleeping peacefully in my arms for the first time without a mask.

Trials like this are life's funny way of reminding us what really matters, and Liv is a constant reminder to make every moment count.
