November 17th was Premature Awareness Day. Jake and I took Annie to the NICU for a dinner with Jennifer our favorite March of Dimes person and other mom and dads that had babies in the NICU and there was also another graduate there...Lily. It was really nice to see the parents because we could give advise and ease some of their fears about having a baby in the NICU. It is so hard for me to believe that it has been a whole year since I was taken to the hospital. I know that Annie and had to go through alot when we were there but honestly I would not trade the experience for anything. I think that a lot of people take having a baby for granted and they think that they just get pregnant and have a baby and never think about the bad things that can and do happen. I has always been easy for me to get pregnant but it was hard for me to stay pregnant and when I got to 12 weeks I always felt safe and I never thought that there was a chance that I would have a baby at 29.4 weeks. Annie is the light of my life, my other kids are too but with Annie I think that she is more special or special in a different way because I came so close to losing her.
