I like to post on this day each year to help raise awareness about premature birth and to give thanks for the two healthy little boys in our lives. Our two little blessings arrived about 5 weeks early but spent no time in the NICU. We were not without some struggles against Jaundice & feeding/weight gain, but those are very minor compared to what some parents & new babies have to struggle through in those first precious days, weeks and months of life.
Per the March of Dimes: “Each year, 15 million babies are born too soon, and a million of them die.”
Our thoughts & prayers go out to anyone who has walked down this path, no matter the final outcome. Our hearts especially go out to those who are currently on this journey, especially during this holiday season.
The March of Dimes is a great organization trying to fight this battle of premature birth. We support them & their efforts to research and raise awareness of this global problem.
If you would like to support the March of Dimes with a donation, they are matching donations dollar-for-dollar until the end of the year.
Donate here!
