Preemies

In our family of 6, we are 6 for 6 on premature births. Did you know that 1 in 8 babies are born prematurely? That premature birth is the number 1 killer of newborns? That premature babies cost ten times more than healthy babies? Today is National Prematurity Awareness Day... just so you know.

This blog is full of posts, mainly about two preemie miracles who keep us smiling and on the move. Our other preemie miracles are no less part of our smiles, yet their absence from this earth makes it hard to move some days.

Both sets of miracles keep our hearts full and our family strong.

I'm thankful to all who struggle to fight the hardships of prematurity. I do not regret the long, hard battles I've fought to have my special, unique family of preemies. I love all my preemies!
