I never put a blanket over Alex because he had a tendency to overheat.  I
wore him in a Snugli and a hat on (remember that bad haircut?).  I wanted
him to see the world after spending time in a  white sterile environment.
I took him out every day.  Still do.  Also I lived in the city where the
regional NICU was so preemies were very common.  Everyone you talked to had
a family member or friend who was preemie.  No one ever tried to touch and
I didn't worry about it.   I was so damm proud to have my baby home that I
wanted to tell the whole world!    It would be different where I live now
in a small town.  You make the front page of the local paper here when you
bring home your preemie.  Catherine Hewitt.
