Preemie Awareness Month

Anyone that knows our family knows that Jeramyah was born 8.5 weeks early. We had some scary times during his 6 week stay in the NICU, however he could have been a lot worse.

Millions of babies are born early each year and a lot of the times no one knows why. Some of those babies out grow their issues, some never over come them and unfortunately some of those babies don't come home from the hospital.

Please help us help babies and mothers get their full 9 months. On the right side of our blog I have a place for you to sign an online petition to get awareness out there. Take a minute out of your day and sign it. If you are feeling really giving of your time then take 2 minutes and forward it along to your friends.

Every single day a child has in the womb is important.

If you would like to read more about Jeramyah's story you can go here. After you read his story then search the website and read other family's stories.
