One Step Closer...

Leah's the writer between the two of us, so I thought I could contribute to the blog through making a video of Skyler getting his cares. He is the most incredible spirit I have ever had the privilege to be around. We love him, and are so grateful he is with us and that he is doing so well. Enjoy!

  1. I love the video. I have been following your little story. It's so crazy to see your little man moving around. He weighed the same as my stillborn little girl (25 weeks). Your blog and pictures have me in tears everytime I read/look at them. I'm so glad he's doing well.

  2. Beautiful. I learned that when infants put their little hands in fists up by their faces it is sign that they feel secure. It was so sweet to see Skyler in real time! Leah, you are a beautiful mother!

  6. The Preemie's Prayer

    Dear God, as you look down upon us,
    We know that you might have to squint.
    We're located here in the NICU,
    It's the nursery that we rent.

    There are many alarms and sirens,
    Connected to our & Condos' & Flats'.
    The nurses tape our booties on,
    And dress us in funny hats.

    We have a lot in common,
    All of us were in a hurry.
    For many different reasons,
    Our storks came a little early.

    Some of us don't know why,
    We busted out from our bubbles.
    We entered into this world,
    Never meaning to cause any troubles.

    Mommy and Daddy are worried sick,
    About the odds that we must beat.
    Please God, help them to realize,
    That seeing us grow is a treat.

    Breath by breath, we'll learn to breathe,
    Ounce by ounce we'll tip the scale.
    We're like the boat in the ocean,
    That knows not to sink-just sail.

    For we are living miracles,
    Mommy and Daddy must simply believe.
    That you have angels watching over us,
    From the time we arrive, till the time we leave.
