November is "Prematurity Awareness Month" and today, November 17th is The March of Dimes "Fight for Preemies" Day. The rate of premature birth has risen more than 30 percent since 1981; one in eight babies are born prematurely. In half the cases, we simply don’t understand what went wrong (just like Will's story). The March of Dimes is leading the fight for answers. And, ultimately, preventions.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't remember those days in the NICU.....our story could have been so different. You can read all about Will's story
here. We are fortunate and blessed that we have a happy ending. Will is strong and healthy today because of the care we received in the NICU. The Lord has blessed us more than we could have ever imagined--we are so thankful for our little boy.

Many preemie stories don't have a happy ending, like ours. I encourage you to take a few minutes and visit
The March of Dimes website, and if you're a blogger join
Fight for Preemies Day (or click on the button on the top right).
