Preston's First Year

I still can't believe it's been a year since Preston's birth! It went by so fast and the memories of my bedrest and the NICU days seem so long ago.
This year, we decided to celebrate his "real" birthday with family and celebrate his "corrected" birthday (This was when he was supposed to be born) in late August. It will be double the celebration as his cast will come off as well. Bascially, he will have 2 birthdays this year!

So how was the first year of motherhood? It was stressful, probably b/c I got myself worrying about everything and anything I can think of! But for the most part, motherhood has been wonderful! I love being a mom and Preston has brought so much joy into ourlives!

Here are some pictures and videos over the year! I look at it and I can't believe how much he has grown and matured and he is only 1!

First day of life weighing at 2 pounds and 4 oz! (He was not able to breath on his own so he was on a ventilator)

7 day after his birth. It's amazing how aware he is of his environment!


This is right after his PDA was treated and he was on high flow o2. He hated the feeding tube in his nose and yanked it out (you can see it in the video)
