One thing that continues to amaze me about the NICU is the number of full term babies who require care. When I first starting coming into the NICU, I just assumed most of the babies were preemies like Zoey and Finn, but it's astonishing how many actually had perfectly "normal" gestation and delivery yet still require NICU assistance.
It's just weird to hear Zoey referred to as one of the healthier babies in the room when she's still two or three pounds smaller than the next smallest infant. The NICU is an entirely different world to experience and learn about.

It's marvelous to here Zoey is holding her own. May it continue!
