So says Samuel :) Looks like our boy will be able to list cover model on his resume. This year marks the 20 year anniversary of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The hospital's media director approached us about participating in an interview on the preemie/NICU experience with the Palo Alto Weekly. We are so happy with the stellar care Sam is receiving, we were more than willing to sing LPCH's praises to anyone that will listen. We did not know Sam was going to be on the cover. After my 5:30 a.m. pumping, I threw a sweater over my pajamas and hit a newsstand on University Ave. Imagine my surprise when I saw Sam's cute face, big as day, on the cover. Pretty neat thing to put in his baby book. Here are links to the 3 sections of the story:

After being extubated and put back on CPAP on Tuesday, Sam is having a great week! He's been holding steady. What a thrill to see. I was able to hold him again Wednesday morning and Thursday night. Feeling his warmth against my chest is just heaven. Daddy is looking forward to a cuddle session tonite.
Mom & Dad took a brief break from the craziness to do some grown up stuff. Early in the week, we headed over to the tennis center at Stanford to watch the Gators defeat the Cardinal for the Women's doubles and team tennis championships. Go Gators!
Last night, we had a nice dinner at some newish bistro/wine bar in PA with Auntie Sophia and Uncle Milk Man after they met Sam for the first time. It was a nice break in the craziness that is our life. We are so relieved things are looking up this week. I'm almost scared to be happy, as another crisis might crop up. We're trying to take things day by day and enjoy each little victory.
