a year of wonder

one year ago today was one of the happiest days for our family....we were able to bring miss olivia home from the nicu after 19 long days struggling to gain strength and eat. funny how much has changed in one year. this time last year, nathan and i were begging miss O to eat 19cc's of food and now we fight her to stop eating everything in sight! she has proved to be an amazing eater and boy has she grown fast!! in looking back at our journey, it makes me sad, happy, full of tears and amazement. we were filled with such fear; fear of the unknown, fear of the pain she was going through, and fear of how it would all turn out. thanks to the nurses, doctors and advancements in the medical field, we have our little miracle with us today.

Please help others like me who had to endure the challenges of being born too early, a nicu and the march of dimes!! without the help of MOD, we would not have come so far so fast in medicine to allow babies like me to survive. The March of Dimes makes miracles happen....please donate today and allow a baby the best fighting chance they can have!! just follow the link on my page.....every penny counts.
Thanks and much love
Miss Olivia
