First time with a Micropreemie?

When I went into labor at 26 weeks, I cried. A lot. I felt so unprepared and sobbed about no crib, no clothes, and all the ways we were not prepared. The real reason I cried was because I was not prepared to have my miracle baby early. I did not know if he could survive. We had a long journey, but my son has continued to thrive. This December, he will be a year old. Already he is almost crawling and rolls over super fast. His physical therapist says he is advanced... even when compared to full term babies. Our journey was a long one. the NICU experience was terrifying and daunting. I would love to share our NICU journal with you. Email katherine@thegabrielmessage.org.
