Day 6: Whit is doing quite well. He’s off the photo therapy lights (no more sunglasses 😫) and his oxygen pressure has been brought down. All good signs, yay! The staff has been amazing to watch as they tend to our and others children. We are here for the evening to let the boys catch up with their brother and possibly see his “peach butt” when he gets a bath later this evening. #nicubaby #nicu #preemie #boyslife January 2, 2016 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1NXY6IV
Day 5. Just chillaxing. These sunglasses don’t let him watch football, which he’s kinda peeved about. He keeps telling us. Feeding & pooping is good. We get consistent reports from the nursing staff that he’s a little feisty. We’re good with that. #nicubaby #nicu #boyslife #preemie January 1, 2016 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1NZH3nJ
Day 4, Whit has been the little trooper over night. He’s down on his prescribed oxygen flow & good signs are still good. Hanging out for a handful of hours today then going to spend time with the other boys & see if they will let us watch a football game. #boyslife #preemie #nicubaby #RollTide December 31, 2015 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1JLZOce
My favorite picture from yesterday. Brooks was quite reserved day one meeting Whit. He was mostly tired from the last two weeks but he likely gets the gravity of Whit’s situation. Yesterday though he was all smiles. And so were we. #boyslife #richardsonclan #nicu #preemie #nicubaby December 30, 2015 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1TpyQg3
Day 3, I’m a feisty one. Got a little bathing and my first set of Costa’s. Little jaundice, expected, so will do the tanning thing for a bit. Teenagers should not try this at home. #boyslife #richardsonclan December 30, 2015 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1OkRwxD
Not the Monday I imagined, but will definitely take it. Welcoming Whit Joseph Richardson today, at 29 weeks he’s a little guy (2lbs 15oz). He’s got some work to do but looks good. Mom is fabulous, minus being equally in shock. #familyoffive #boyslife #nofilter December 28, 2015 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1kobXxe
This is an original Brooks Richardson artwork piece where mom & dad are kissing (I assume in the octagon) while Brooks, Rhys & Whit cover their eyes. #boyslife December 25, 2015 By Gavin Leave a Comment via Instagram http://ift.tt/1OPmYjx
