one of my best friends gave birth at 6 mo. gestation. her daughter was born at 1 lb. 10 oz. 18 years ago. that preemie is now an honor student just finishing her first year of college at St. Vincents, in Latrobe PA. life is miraculous and not to be discarded.

Yes, life is miraculous...

..6 months gestation....amazing!!

If you could have seen all the bells and whistles our little one was attached to....
..she looked like a little bird almost, her skin was so fragile, the cartilage not quite set in her ears...they were floppy..

..but a strong will and tenacious hold on life.

The very first day, the NICU nurse said...

"This one is feisty!!"
