Operation "Give Back"
So last year I wanted to give back to the University Hospital for all they did. I tried coming up with different idea's and the one that I liked the most was making blankets for the Preemies. I thought back to when Nathan left the NICU and what I would have wanted. We got a blanket but it was an old used one that the nurse left on the car seat by accident. I have kept that and put it in Nathan's memory box. So this past year me and my family have made blankets. I set a goal of 12 ( one a month) and we actually completed 15 but gave 12. So on Nathan's birthday we went up to the University Hospital's NICU and gave a basket full of blankets. The lady's there were very sweet and said they would have parents come and choose a blanket.
I hope Nathan's understands this someday. I will teach him how to crochet so he can participate or maybe he will come up with his own gift to all the baby's. We will have to see.
When we were going up to the Hospital he started to take the tags off and I told him they were for little baby's and then he gave them big hugs and said "baby, ooh" then he continued to throw them out of the basket and laugh at me. Yes he is TWO!
