i have two daughters 2, and 4 both born as micro premies weighing less than one and a half pounds and ariving 15-16 weeks early. No one can ever know this heartache, unless you have expierenced it firsthand. Join the march, and help give babies a chance.

This video brought such tears of joy and pain to my eyes. Our son was born 10 weeks premature last June. He was in the NICU for 59 long and stressful days, and now he's doing great. He's back on track and such a happy baby. The doctors don't know why he came so early, but because of it he had an immature digestive system and couldn't tolerate his feedings for a long time. Now he's our lil' pig, he's on my lap watching me now as I type this. I am so grateful that he is doing more than well !!!!
