Documenting the Preemie Experience

Hey everyone  -

I just finished a blog post that was inspired by everyone here.   I know many people here have talked about how hard it is to talk about the birth/NICU experience.   Even after five years I sometimes have hard time getting through my son's experience .   Anyway, I created a list of 20 questions that will hopefully help some of you document/scrapbook/write about your experience without getting completely overwhelmed.

I hope it helps!

    by the way i noticed that you have labels tagged at the bottom of each of your posts and for this one you have family and family fun as the lables.  i think that you would get more traffic to your blog if you put in more specific words like "documenting nicu stay" or "time spent as a nicu baby".  I have noticed that when i put labels that are very specific i can see the traffic i get through the widget called Feedjit that tells me how people found my blog through key word searches on Google.  for example if you type in to Google the words GJ Tube and look through the second page my blog will be listed.  i've gotten a lot of hits from that one.  or if you search "developmental toys for preemies" your blog is in the top 20 hits.  just a thought in case you didn't know.

    SBM - Of course you can! 

    Lstaylor - Thank you.  And excellent point.   I do need to get more specific about my tags.   I will write it down and hopefully tackle it this weekend.  THANKS!

    Awesome post!  I am totally going to include this in Ryan's scrapbook.  Most of the time I just get upset that I don't remember more details but I think I just blocked a lot of it out.  These ?s were great and I could answer them all.

    NotJustAnAuntie - I haven't had anytime lately but yes I scrapbook.  I really, really want to get into a regular routine so that I can get things scrapbooked/documented before I forget.
