My son Cameron was born on April 14,2001. Cameron was due June 16,2001. He weighed 3lbs 2ozs. He came out breathing and fighting on his own. He stayed in NICU exactly 5 weeks.He just started to walk at 17 months. At first I was a little concerned but now I can't keep up with him.......:)I kept a picture in the incubator with Cameron of
his "Big Brother Jalen" who is 4 yrs old. I really think the bond started then because now Cameron Wants to do everything that Jalen is doing. He can say JALEN but he won't say Mommy.(Maybe I should have put my picture there...:))
God bless everyone in the "Preemie Family"

Audrey and Zoey came into the world at 28 weeks and 3 days. They are such miracles because I conceived them as part of triplets resulted from in vitro process.
I remember those early weeks of fear and sadness because they were in the hospital for 8 weeks. Audrey was 2#7oz and Zoey at 2#13oz. Pretty big for twins at 28 weeks. Audrey was never on the ventilator and Zoey was for 3 days. But then there were the infections and transfusions and IVH and PDAs. All of which overwhelmed me.
But all that's over now. They are prefectly healthy and active girls at nearly 6 mos, with Audrey at 16# and Zoey at 14#. I had to wait 4 months for them to smile and the first time it happened I weeped.
Everyday I count my blessings.

Angel was born at 26 weeks gestation after her mum having PIH, HELLP Syndrome and DIC. She was 1lb 3oz at birth and is now 1 year old weighing 12lb. She stopped growing before she was born so she will remain small but she survived NICU and her first year without any major illnesses. She is very alert, active and has taken her first steps already!! I feel very lucky and thankful for the courage of my daughter and now believe in miracles!

My son was born 13 weeks early on Jan 10th 2002 due to PIH. We tried for over a year to even get pregnant! He weighed 1 lb 8 oz and was 13.25 in long. He is now 8 months, going on 16 lbs and 25 in long! HAVE FAITH IN GOD! BELIEVE and ye shall receive! We named our son, Nathaniel and his name means "A gift from God!" Miracles happen everyday!
