Right this minute, as I hold my 5 1/2 pound miracle and look into his eyes, I’m in awe.  He’s part me, part his father, and part untold potential.  How’s it possible that he is the only one that is exactly like him?  Amazing!

And to think, I could have lost him.  Born premature, there were many factors that could have prevented him from staying with us.  Thanks to medical advancements and the caring staff in the NICU, he was given the chance to live a long and happy life.

That’s why my blogging friends and I wanted to celebrate with a mini Baby Shower to benefit Graham’s Foundation.  The Graham’s foundation helps parents of preemies by sending care packages, providing resources, and connecting parents.

15 million babies worldwide are born premature.  In the US alone, 1 in 9 babies are premature.  It never occurred to me that I could have a preemie, but it can happen to anyone.  So, if you’ve had a baby or are expecting, prayerfully consider supporting this amazing organization!
