My NICU Graduate's Journey
My water ruptured at 26 weeks. I stayed in the hospital until I gave birth via emergency c-section at exactly 29 weeks. She was 2lbs. She was tiny, but truly mighty. At 3 weeks old we got to hold her for the first time. And at 3 months old, we got to take her home🫶

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
She has the biggest heart for someone that was so tiny. Her thoughtfulness, creativity, giving nature never ceases to amaze me. She’s the sweetest girl in the whole wide world.
