After your baby was born, where was the first place you ventured out of the house to? I’m American. I went to the mall. Worse, I went directly to the baby store. (I also went to the book store. A girl’s gotta have her fix.) At the baby store, my husband pulled the stroller up [...]
What should you say to the parents of a baby in special care?

Yesterday, I wrote a post ‘What NOT to say to the parents of special care babies‘ on BabyCenter. This got me thinking… what is the right thing to say? A week before we took May home from the hospital, my husband and I attended a wedding. At the wedding, pretty much everyone, even the people we [...]

I will remind everyone reading this that I’m not a doctor since I’m about to explain how vision develops in a baby. (Feel free to correct me.) There are two aspects of vision: mechanical and cognitive. Mechanical is how the eye moves, focuses on things, etc. Cognitive is how the brain reads, identifies and remembers [...]

What are May’s two favorite things (outside of bouncing, of course)? Bath time and music. Even better in combination. She loves kicking her feet to the music. She loves to sing along to the tunes. If all therapies were music therapies, May would probably be an Olympic athlete by now. So much so, I’m considering [...]
This is a record of…
Stacie Lewis' experience raising hell, er, raising a baby with severe brain damage. The blog began when May was 4 1/2 months old. No one, not even the doctors, know what her future holds.
Currently, May loves bouncing and eating anything that comes in contact with her mouth.
