I love the happy endings. My water also broke prematurely and our ending (although it’s hardly an ending, my son is not quite five!) is also happy. However, it was a long, bumpy road to get to where we are.

Thanks for sharing your story.

It inspired and encouraged me and I’m sure many others! I talked about it in my Preemie Tidbits blog on http://www.preemiesrus.com with a link back to you. I’ve been developing clothing for preemies for almost as long as your son has been alive and I still find it extremely rewarding. :)

Wow. The memories.

There are so many parallels between your preemie story and mine, I was entranced! My daughter was born 7 weeks early on Nov. 19th, and I also have a pic of Santa holding her in the NICU! Beautifully written.
