November is Prematurity Awareness Month!

Here's a picture of Maya and me on our very first Christmas together. It was a difficult time of course (here Maya is recovering from sepsis -- very scary) but I do have beautiful memories of that day. I was telling her about Santa Claus and the NICU staff and volunteers presented each and every patient with a personalized stocking. Special gestures like these make a holiday in the hospital much brighter for everyone, and I'm having a blast "giving back".

I imagine this was a terrifying start of your days as Mama & child. Your pieces are wonderful...and obviously inspired by a cause close to your heart. I wish you well in health (and in fundraising...)
