My baby was born 8 weeks early

November 17th is Prematurity Awareness Day.

Alexander was born 2 months before he was supposed to be.  He was born while there was snow on the ground.  He was supposed to be born while there were flowers in bloom and leaves on the trees.

He weighed less than a sack of flour when he was born.

He spent 4 weeks in a hospital NICU.

In his honor, for all the babies fighting right now, for the mommies fighting for just one more day and for the babies will never make it home, I am helping the March of Dimes fight prematurity.

Today, I wear purple.

Please visit the March of Dimes today to learn more about prematurity and how you can help.

Love,
Holly

  1. Oh, Holly, thanks so much for your post. We're happy that Alexander came home and we hope one day that all babies will be able to come home. That's why we fight. Thanks for your help.
