World Prematurity Day 2017

Words can’t describe the day we became parents to five little girls…all born within 4 minutes and who were all born 12 weeks premature. It was a that came too early for me but it still was a magical day! God’s presence was there, all around us this day. We knew little about what we would experience from this point forward but kept our faith strong and leaned on Gods love and guidance day by day.

Today, on World Prematurity a Day, we celebrate our quintuplets who were born weighing between 2lbs and 2 lb 6oz at 28 weeks and 2 days gestation. As I look back at these pictures, I am immediately taken back to this exact delivery day. “It’s Go Time Day”!

Our life was forever changed this day! Nothing can prepare you enough for becoming NICU parents. We are so very fortunate to have graduated from the NICU with five healthy babies. I’ll never know why God blessed us with this special life and why all our girls left the NICU and got to come home with us….We know that is not always the case. Our hearts go out to all the parents who God had other plans for. We know it’s difficult to see beyond the sorrow and no words can really help to ease the loss you bear…but I KNOW one day, you will see your sweet little one,or ones, again and that day will be magical.

Hebrew 11:1   Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
