I'm looking after my friend's baby for a couple of hours. He's 10 months old, but was born early so his corrected age is 7 months. And he's fallen asleep on me - I'd almost forgotten what a peacefully joyous feeling that is.

My friend's dogs & cat are also all asleep. 😂

Und das gleich doppelt.

1/10 und beide wohlauf.

Today is world #preemie day. Did you know that #bacterial infections increase the risk for premature delivery?

“Why did I deliver early?!” There are so many answers, including the ones that we have no idea about. None of the answers feel good. What I know for sure is that delivering early is not your fault. #preemie #micropreemie #prematurityawareness #nicu #pregnancy www.yourpreemiestory.com

Leaving my preemies in the hospital was excruciating. I wanted my babies to know that we were always connected, even when we were apart. #Preemie #MicroPreemie #PrematureBaby #PrematurityAwarenessMonth #prematurity #NICU #preemiebook #NICUbook www.yourpreemiestory.com
