NICU is a strange little world of odd sounds and darkness, but one quickly adapts and starts to feel oddly at home there. Averleigh obviously received great care and it is exciting to see the sweet young lady she is growing up to be. Hope you all have a fun day tomorrow!Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235517612628723574.post-8556526712298019422013-05-25T14:23:45.676-04:002013-05-25T14:23:45.676-04:00Wow - awesome post full of memories.

Now, seeing it again, I realized that a part of me feels as though I am not a real parent (even though I have 2 teenagers..) because I've had a very carefree run since they were born. Certainly, there have been anxious moments, days even, but never the grinding, overwhelming worry and uncertainty there must be when your child is born prematurely. But now the best years are before you, Emma - enjoy them with your Averleigh!<br />Happy Birthday, little girl!Claire Maunsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015419730497175239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235517612628723574.post-25910506537809622202013-05-25T09:26:45.334-04:002013-05-25T09:26:45.334-04:00Emma that was one of the most touching post I have...Emma that was one of the most touching post I have ever read.

I know what it's like not to hold your new little baby and what it's like to measure their food in cc's. My baby is 22 now and just graduated from college but those memories came flooding back when I read your post. Many great memories will and are replacing those first weeks. I hope the sun shines brightly on you all for her party.<br />~Ema<br />http://www.emakdesigns.com/blogEma Kilroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867232098423825896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235517612628723574.post-9334958655185373992013-05-25T09:15:36.765-04:002013-05-25T09:15:36.765-04:00Oh your girl's got spirit!
