My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our girl was born via c section at 37 weeks due to mom being diabetic. She was not breathing very well she was rushed to the nicu where she stayed for the first week of her life. We were unable to even hold her for the first 24 hours it was beyond heart breaking but she finally started improving and the moment we finally got to hold her was the best moment of my life.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She is such a smart sweet little girl she loves to snuggle and is doing amazing in kindergarten ahead of her class! She’s kind and always helpful! She is a sweet friend to all and just lights up any room she walks into. We just love her so much and so proud to be her parents.
