Prematurity Awareness

November 17 is Prematurity Awareness Day, AND the day that we celebrate 7 years since my amazing girls came home to be with their family after spending the first 110 days of their lives in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of all that they endured to survive, and the lingering effects of their much too early birth. For better or worse, we have learned so much on this journey and are forever grateful to have these sweet and wonderful kids in our lives.

Happy Homecoming Day to my loves!

We've come such a long way...

    A long way indeed - hard to believe it has been 7 years (and my two just over 3 years since homecoming) Holland and Eden gave me such hope and you provided such great information back then - thank you so much once again x

    I haven't posted before,but I've been following you for a little while. Your girls are amazing. I used to think preemies were just tiny babies who just needed to grow. Now I know so much more about the struggles that preemies and their parents go through. I will continue to come here and see how Holland and Eden are doing! By the way, I was happy to hear that the tonsillectomy went so well.
