Born on 12/31/08 at 01:43, Adam is our little "New Years Eve" baby! Weighing in at 1 pound, 15 ounces and measuring 13 inches long. He was born at only 26 weeks! Little guy did not want to wait 14 more weeks to be born!

Little Adam looks JUST LIKE his Daddy, Mourad.

Suzanne (Suzie) and Mourad decided to name him Adam Larbie. Larbie is Mourad's Dad's name.

When Adam was born, the medical staff had to take him directly to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and are planning on keeping him there until the end of March 2009.

The NICU (pronounced "Nickyou") provides a high level of intensive care to premature infants. NICUs were developed in the 1950s and 1960s by pediatricians to provide better temperature support, isolation from infection risk, specialized feeding, and access to specialized equipment and resources. Infants are cared for in incubators or "open warmers." Some low birth weight infants need respiratory support ranging from extra oxygen (by head hood or nasal cannula) to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mechanical ventilation. Public access is limited, and staff and visitors are required to take precautions to reduce transmission of infection.
