There are days in life that are hi-lighted on the calendar of life, and they are called red letter days. The month of November holds two of those for me. The first (in this post, but not in life) is November 17, 2006. This was the day the boys were born. Their due date was January 5, 2007 - planned C-section was November 24, 2006. However, Whit wanted this day - November 17th. In the column on the left, you may see the "Fight for Preemies" campaign. November is prematurity awareness month, and March of Dimes has dubbed NOVEMBER 17th as PREEMIE DAY! Quite a special day for that red letter day! Here are our preemies...
Baby Boy A - AKA: Chap - born November 17, 2006 at 9:59 AM 4 lbs 4 oz 16 3/4 in long - in the NICU for 4 weeks - feeding and growing. He left the NICU weighing 6 lbs 4 oz.
Baby Boy B - AKA: Whit - born November 17, 2006 at 9:59 AM 1 lb 15 oz 12 in long - in the NICU 67 days (a little more than two months) - fighting to survive. He left the NICU weighing 4 lbs 13 oz.
Preemies sure hold a special place in my heart!
Now, for that other red letter day! On November 21, 2001 - Corbett asked me to marry him. In honor of that memorable day, we will be celebrating the boys' third birthday on November 21, 2009!
Two great red letter days!
What a great month for you all! It's so great to see how far the boys have come. especially Whit! What a blessing.
