enzo.
enzo is a sweet little baby who spent a very very long time in the NICU where i work. i wanted to write about this incredibly genuine family who came in to visit their little guy day after day always so kind to everyone with smiles on their faces and frequently bearing gifts for the nurses : ) over time i had the pleasure of getting to know enzo's beautiful mommy and daddy. they are not only very much in love with each other but they quickly fell in love with this sweet angel as well. enzo did everything at his own pace and sometimes that's hard for the nurses and especially the doctors in our NICU. we want babies to progress in a specific manner but little enzo had his own plan and calendar but nonetheless is at home and doing amazing!!!! i've been able to watch enzo at his home while his mommy and daddy spend some time out together and these are a few shots i got while enzo and i were on our dates home alone : )
be sure to check out the link below where the local news station came to the NICU the day enzo went home. it's pretty cool! we also used enzo as our "baby jesus" stand in for our annual NICU nativity and his mommy and daddy were mary and joseph. they were so awesome about wanting to be involved! not every baby gets asked to be our "baby jesus"!!! it's really families like these that make my job so awesome. especially when you have to work on christmas day. it's not the easiest job or the most fun job or the most rewarding job, but over the years people such as these remind me about the importance of choosing a career in which you can truly make a difference. thanks so much to enzo's mommy and daddy for allowing me to be part of your experience in creating a family : )
