So... we'd put it off long enough. We dropped his car off and then went further past Des Moines and found the lady with the preemie baby clothes. After taking a wrong turn on a gravel road we found her! She lives on a farm with an awesome butcher block table in a country kitchen. Her little boy sat in his stroller and watched us sort baby clothes that he had outgrown. Danelle has a blog! Go check her out and say Hey!
There were sizes from preemie up to 9 months. The pile of preemie clothes seemed pretty small until you realized that hey! These are basically doll clothes sized. Of COURSE the pile is going to be small! And also, how large a wardrobe is this kid going to need in the NICU?! There were actually about 10-15 outfits for him. I was able to find a few preemie sleepers at Walmart afterwards so I included those as an additional gift for my sister.
Got the preemie sizes shipped off yesterday morning and will take the rest when we are all over our colds and get to go meet Braedon. My sister had said that he would be ready for clothes by this next weekend, so the timing is good! Hopefully he'll be off the IVs by then.

That picture just breaks my heart. :( Poor little guy.
I bet he will SWIM in those premies!
Bless his little heart! He is just too precious. So... it sounds like he is doing good? Continued prayers for him.
If he is coming off IV's soon, then he must be doing well. Glad you found some clothes for him. Sweet picture.
So glad he's doing well!
Our middle grandson was a preemie. He didn't stay little for long. I hope Braedon grows quickly!
