My NICU Graduate's Journey
Palmer and Eleanor DiDi twins were born at 34 weeks and 6 days. During their NICU stay that consisted of 17 long days they had to learn to eat, suck/ swollow and breath without having any desaturations or bradys. My little warriors were fighters from the very start! The NICU nurses were miracle works and I can't thank them enough even till this day! Today they are almost 3 years old and thriving!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
They have learned so much from being tiny premies to becoming spunky and fun toddlers! If I learned anything about being a primie mama I learned that those babies put up one heck of a fight! I love being their mama and watching them grow and learn!
