Today is National Prematurity Awareness Day!
We are forever grateful for the research done by March of Dimes that gave us our daughter, Abigail...and for the research that continues to be done to save more and more babies everyday!!!! Did you know that 1 in 8 babies will be born premature in the US?
Today is a reminder to support your local March of Dimes and your local hospital so more babies have outcomes like Abigail!!!! We will continue to support March of Dimes and Central Dupage Hospital to say Thank You for our beautiful, healthy daughter! We pray that other families won't have to experience a preemie in the NICU, but if they do, we are so grateful for places like CDH!
Here's a look back at our preemie, Abigail!
Born on December 22, 2007 weighing 3lbs, 3 oz. This was our 1st family hold...X-mas morning in the hospital!
Mommy's 1st hold on day 3...we were only able to hold her once a day for 15 minutes at the beginning...imagine not being able to hold your baby!
Abigail's 1st bottle! She was tube fed the first few weeks of life!
Watching our baby thrive in CDH thanks to the amazing staff...and research by March of Dimes.
Abigail at 2 days old in her incubator.
Abigail almost 2 years later! All we have to say is "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!"
