The 2012 Annual NICU Reunion IS coming....

Saturday, April 07, 2012

Every year we (the staff at NCBH) look forward to the NICU Reunion!  This year has been a bit BUSY in our NICU and it has been difficult getting things organized, finding a good date, et cetera.  However, we know that so many of you are looking forward to this event (based on the calls and emails I've received), so we are working hard to get the details together.

Right now, our date is Saturday, May 5th.  I do not have any further info at this time, but once the schedule is ready I promise to POST IT HERE.  Invitations are being worked on as well.

Thanks for being excited to see us again too!

See you soon!

Prematurity Awareness Month

Friday, November 04, 2011

Did you know that November is "Prematurity Awareness Month"? 



According to the March of Dimes, "the awareness month kicks off on November 1 with the release of the 2011 Premature Birth Report Card and November 17 marks World Prematurity Day."*  The goal is to bring the serious problem of premature births to light.

According to the Report Card*, the United States received a "C" and Texas received a "D"....meaning that we still have some work to do in order to bring our prematurity rates down.  Please check out their website (listed below) for more information on how you can help raise awareness this month and throughout the year!

Happy November!

Cigars, Storks, and a Geocache?

Friday, September 09, 2011

We've all heard of the tradition of a father passing out cigars to celebrate the birth of his baby.  You can even get bubble-gum cigars in pink and blue at the hospital gift shop.  Most of us have seen at least one giant stork cut-out in someone's yard announcing their newest arrival.  But, how many of you have placed a geocache in honor of your little one?

I just discovered the geocaching adventure this past weekend...and it is a lot of fun!  While exploring the game/hunt/sport, I found that someone hid a cache near our hospital in celebration of a baby girl .  I immediately thought how fun that was and what an unique way to mark the joyous occasion.

What have you done to celebrate your baby's delivery?  Do you have any unique ideas to share with us? 
Click on the "comments" link below or drop me a line (by clicking on my name).

Have a great weekend!
