Then and Now

I was browsing through some photos and came across one of the first pictures taken of Hailey when she was taken to the NICU. It's amazing how far she has come since then. And if you really look at the picture, you will notice there are no oxygen tubes anywhere. We got very lucky that her lungs were mature at 33 weeks. Even the Neonatologist was impressed on how well she was doing.

Anyway, here is the first picture taken of Hailey, followed by the most recent picture taken of Hailey. Amazing what changes in 14 months!

Petition for Preemies

In the United States today, 1 in 8 babies is born prematurely. More newborns die from premature birth than any other cause. But solutions are within our grasp. Together, we can find the causes of premature birth, ensure moms get health care during pregnancy, and create workplaces that support maternal and infant health.

Act now and let everyone know it’s time to do more to help moms have healthy, full-term babies. November is March of Dimes Prematurity Awareness Month. Sign the Petition for Preemies.

P. S. Want to make an even bigger difference? Please forward this message to family and friends. Tell them you signed the petition and ask them to join you!
