World Prematurity Awareness Day

Today, November 17th, is World Prematurity Awareness Day.

This is my preemie.  Our son Brendan.  He entered the world unexpectedly early at 30 weeks.  He is now a healthy almost 6 year old and in kindergarten.

One out of every eight babies will be born too soon.  Chances are you know someone who has had a baby born before 37 weeks.  These families may spend countless hours in a NICU or neonatal intensive care unit.  Sadly, some of these parents will come home with empty arms as their babies grow wings. 

So today please say a prayer for all those babies that are born too soon and click here if you would like more information about the March of Dimes.
