to have a preemie....

If you didn't see this on my Facebook notes...I wanted to post it here too, because it meant so much to me. It was from an email from my local chapter of the March of Dimes..
This cause means so much to me personally..and this says it perfectly..


Imagine...finally seeing 2 lines on the hundredth pregnancy test you took but still being afraid to tell anyone the good news.

Imagine...being on bed rest for the duration of your pregnancy knowing that every week, every day, every hour counts.

Imagine…having no one congratulate you on the birth of your child because of the fear she might not survive.

Imagine… the pain of seeing other babies dying in the NICU and thanking God that it’s not yours.

Imagine...having a battery of tests done to determine why you had a premature baby - only to find that there are no reasons why.

Imagine…leaving the hospital with empty arms, no balloons, no flowers, no baby.

Imagine...finally learning the joy of bringing your baby home only to find out that prematurity doesn't end at the NICU doors.

Imagine finding the March of Dimes and realizing there is an organization that is dedicated to reaching the day when every baby will be born healthy!

the first time i held the boys together in the hospital....i think they were about 2 weeks old


and with the easter bunny, c=since i didn't get to include it on the last post..and it shows how much they have grown :)
