August 2nd = Miracle Day for our Preemie

Today is the day we celebrate our oldest miracle who is turning FIVE years old.

Five years ago we welcomed our tiny miracle into the world

1 lb 3 oz
11 1/2 inches long
born at 30 weeks - just 71/2 months pregnant

The outlook was grim to say the least.
Doctors gave him no chance at survival.
The journey was long
The reward was great

Miracles happen every day
And I'm the Mom to two of them

Here are a few photos of his journey.... 

For the first month, all we could do was hold his hand

    Month #2 in the NICU
Feeding tubes, ventilator, an IV in the head, and battling many infections

After 3 months in the NICU, finally at home
(Notice all the monitors and tubes?)
 3 months old and 5 lbs

There's no place like Home... 
So happy to have our baby home and healthy!
