I was completely unaware that November was Premature Awareness month, until Mrs. Flinger’s post today. In fact, I didn’t know such a month existed. Premature birth is the leading cause of death among newborns. I feared that Nia would arrive too early, and I would be pained to see her struggling to breathe. But this child didn’t want to come out. She was a week overdue. Go here to find out more info on premature births here in the U.S.
Thanks for spreading the word. I wouldn’t know except the hospital NICU sent us an invite in honor of preemie awareness month. So strange to think O is a preemie. The man is huge.
