FIGHT FOR PREEMIES

Image
Today, November 17, is Prematurity Awareness Day! This cause is near and dear to my heart because our sweet Ella Rae was born 6 weeks premature. We were definitely on the upper side of the 'premature spectrum' so to speak, as many babies are born waaay earlier. We did, however, spend 14 days in the NICU after Ella's birth. It was a whirlwind to say the least. Did you know that 1 out of 8 babies are born premature? And the amount of premature births has risen 30% since 1981. That means too many babies are coming early and too many parents have to endure the unknown of their child being born prematurely. Today is a day to fight for those babies and families. In honor of Premature Awareness Day, I thought I would share some pictures of Ella Rae's Birth. The very first photo ever taken of Ella Rae. Kelly took this picture through the door when they were evaluating Ella right after she came out. A few minutes later they allowed Kelly in the room. Of course that left me alone...

What's YOUR song?

Today I am joining Goodnight Moon's link up party where we share a song. It's no secret that we (Ella Rae and I) are fans of Justin Bieber and I absolutely love this song of his. He is only 17, but he's got a wonderful heart and donates a lot of money and time to many different charities and organizations. We are definitely fans! And a sweet picture of my girl, just for fun!! Happy Thursday Everyone!

10 more days till CHRISTmas! "It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas...means a little bit more." I shared this quote on facebook today and wanted to share it with blogger world, as well. Let's all remember the importance of CHRISTmas this holiday season. It's not about the presents. It's not about the tree and decorations. It's not about the cookies, food, meals. It is about Family. It is about Peace. It is about Love. But most importantly, It is about Jesus . It is about Mary and Joesph. It is about the Angels, the Wise Men, the Shepherds It is about the miracle of Jesus' birth. It is about Luke 2: 1-38 ******************************************************** And in other news.... (can you see the snotty nose) (and tired eyes?) Ella Rae has not been feeling well this weekend and week. S...
