She's ONE?

What in the world? Am I really a parent of a one year old. Wow, Chloe makes me feel old, just imagine what I'll feel like when she turns 18?

A year ago, I unexpectedly went into labor at 35 weeks and Chloe was born. Since she was early, she spent 12 days in the NICU. At the time it felt like 12,000 days. It was an experience that I never want to go through again, but it was an amazing one.

Seeing pictures of Chloe in the NICU bring back some many memories and emotions. I can't believe how small she was and now how big she is.

The C-PAP is helping her lungs to fully expand and get enough oxygen.


Once Chloe's lungs were more strong she was able to move off the C-PAP and onto the nasal prongs. The nasal prongs were much more comfortable for her.



Cory and I learning to feed Chloe. It's much different feeding a preemie compared to a full term baby.

Having your child in the NICU really wears you down. I was so tired from staying up, but never wanted to leave her side.
