Instead of just staring...

Ken is back in the office, Pierce is going to Mrs. Libby's, and Meredith spends the majority of her day in the NICU. Today, instead of just staring, she read Preston a book. Thanks to Mrs. Patsy Jeffcoat, Meredith has now begun reading to Preston while she visits. We all know how important reading to children is and this is the perfect opportunity to get started with Preston. Today Meredith read the children's book Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney.

excerpt from the book Guess How Much I Love You
...He was almost too sleepy to think anymore. Then he looked beyond the thorn bushes, out into the big dark night. Nothing could be further than the sky. "I love you right up to the moon," he said, and closed his eyes. "Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare. "That is very, very far." Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him good night. Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon - and back."

Preston is doing very well. The nurses continue to up his breast milk intake and they also remind Mommy and Daddy that Preston is doing exactly as expected...sleeping!
