My amazing sidekick, Erica, had her sweet baby boy last night… 2 months early. Thankfully, they are both doing great. I wanted to share this with all of you because life is beautiful…

I love you, Erica. <3 You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I can’t wait to meet your adorable little boy and I know that he will bring so much joy into the world just like you do every single day.

    Like many of you, I am the mom of a preemie. While it was scary at the time and there are many ups and downs, we look back on that time in the NICU as such a blessing. We were in a little cocoon where the only thing that mattered was our baby and bonding as a family. When my second child came early as well, I wasn’t nearly as worried because of the wonderful care our first child received. Enjoy your little blessing!

      Congratulations! My daughter was born 13 weeks early at 1 lb. 14 oz. she’s about to turn 13 and at 4 ft. 11-1/2 inches she’s almost as tall as I am. It’s hard in the beginning but it gets easier. Good luck to you and your family.

    I had premiee twins in October. Born 12 weeks early . Weighing in at 1lb 3 oz and the other 2lb. They r still in the progressive care. Not a very merry Christmas for us but leaning on prayers to help us through.

      Amanda, I just said a prayer for you guys. You can do this girl! You are a mama and we are strong. You are not alone. Keep leaning on those prayers.

    Love reading all these positives comments. Baby boy is a fighter. Not ashamed at all to say it as a husband of a genetic counselor, and a dad. Inspiration, faith, courage. Celebration.

    Congrats and well wishes to Erica and her baby boy. I had my first, a baby boy, in August 8 weeks early too. It can be an emotional rollercoaster but we’ve been home a few months and loving on him like crazy. He probably wishes he had some space lol. Merry Christmas to you, your family, Erica and her baby boy and family too. Family and friends mean everything and my experience just showed me how much we were loved. Appreciate all the work you do to save money for all of us…its really helped me this year!! Happy Holidays!!

    Best wishes to you, Erica, and your beautiful baby boy!

    Congrats to Erica and her family. Our daughter Ella was born 10 weeks early. She is a healthy 9 year old. Now I am a huge supporter of the March of Dimes. So much of the care she received came from their research. The also have so many resources for parents of preemies on their website. I hope that he’ll be coming home soon.

    Prayers for Erica and her little guy.

  12. Jill

    Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy, Erica!
    I had my twins at 30 weeks and I know how very hard it is. Please email me if you would like to chat with a mom who has been there. I’d be happy to be a shoulder for you and to offer the insight I have into the NICU. Lots of love!

  13. Starla

    How precious! He’s going to be the kid that has everything because his mom & her sidekick are hip savers.

  15. Annmarie

    Congratulations Erica and family. What a precious gift!

  16. Amber

    Congratulations to you all. What a beautiful little boy. So glad you are both safe.

  17. Jennifer

    So glad you both are safe. 3 years ago, my daughter was also born Dec 22nd, she was 3 months early so I was discharged on Christmas day and so incredibly heartbroken that my baby couldn’t come home with us. But she is safe and healthy and that’s all I can hope for. You, baby, and your family are in my prayers. Stay strong!

  18. Danielle

    Congratulations to the new Mommy and Daddy.

  19. Jennifer

    Praying for a short nicu stay for this little guy from one preemie mom to another.

  20. Jeanne

    Prayers for her and that sweet baby… My twins were born at 32 weeks and are now 7 years old and healthy as can be! Those NICU nurses are amazing and I will pray for this sweetheart and family. God, please put your loving healing hands around this sweet baby and family. Congratulations!!
