She was 1 lbs. 14 oz. when she had to be born. Her and my wife almost died due to preeclampsia. She’s doing “good” now one month later but still going to be 2 months until she comes home. It’s so hard to have to leave her everytime I see her.

Edit: btw the song she was born to was September by Earth Wind and Fire, so we sang it to her yesterday(21st of September). Anesthesiologist had great taste in his playlist. Next song was Stayin Alive no joke. Also I’m a drummer in a funk band so super appropriate lol.

As a parent of a premie (2 1/2 months early), I’d like to let you know ours is now 15 and fit as a fiddle! Be strong for your partner when they need it, and remember baby is in great hands in the NICU. Best wishes to you all!

Someday she'll be scared that she can't do something and this will be a story you tell her to show her that she can do anything.
