Tiny Babies

Jade-Break ups suck but you seem to know that you'll be way better off without this relationship. Im glad you made a good decision.

So I'm in a nowhere town in IL on a go-live and I've been working in the NICU the past 2 nights. The babies are so tiny. I've never seen anything so small. There were these twin girls who were the smallest in the unit. Their feet were the size of the pad of my thumb. Take a look at your thumb and imagine how tiny that is compared to regular sized baby feet! Their heads were smaller than my fist.
There was also one baby boy the nurses were expecting to go in the middle of the night. The poor thing had enlarged kidneys. His mom was just sitting there all night holding his little hand. Isn't that the saddest thing ever?
Most of the other babies were going to make it home and be healthy normal kids. They were so precious! Sorry to be a downer... I just wanted to share.
