We met the Davis family when Henry was in the NICU. Their baby boy Hayes was born just 4 days before Henry and was born with an omphalocele. You can read about this precious angel's journey here. Kelly and I actually have a mutual friend who contacted us both while we were in the NICU and recommended that we meet. (Thank you Jamie!) Such a small world. We instantly hit it off- It was such a blessing to have another mommy to talk to who also had a baby in the NICU. We never met each other's babies but always saw each other & would share our frustrations and good news.
Henry & Hayes seemed to start improving at the same rate and were hitting the same milestones simultaneously! It was really cool. Then all of a sudden the nurses mentioned the blessed "D" word (Discharge!) to both of us and we were cautiously thrilled! These two fighters proved they wanted to go home and were discharged the exact same day.
Kelly & I have been keeping up with each other and decided these boys need to officially meet. It was great to talk and compare their sleeping/nursing/playing habits and meet each other's boys! Hayes is a precious baby boy with the most beautiful bright blue eyes.

| Doesn't it look like they're the oldest of friends? :) |
We decided this needs to be a monthly playdate at minimum so these two can properly start their lifelong friendship that they are sure to have. ;)
Can't wait till next month's date, Friends! xoxo
