Anyone can order, just let me know what size you want (kids and adults sizes available). I'll be placing the order on WEDNESDAY of next week. Shirts are $12.
Our preemie friends that we're also walking in honor/memory of...
Kennedy, Taylor, Madison, McKinley surviving quintuplets born at 26 weeks and their angel brother Carter.
Emmy, Nickolas & Willem, triplets born at 32 weeks who were our roomies in the NICU.
Baby Cooper...baby brother to Addison, born at about 30 weeks. He's currently still in the NICU but is set to come home SOON!
Gwenyth Rose - Gwen was born at 24 weeks after a very rough pregnancy for her mom, Tricia. Tricia has cystic fibrosis and just received a DOUBLE LUNG transplant last week. This is an absolutely amazing family and their blog (which is written by the dad) is very neat...a MUST read!
For Makenna, Isabelle and Alyssa...The Georgia Guinn Triplets!!!
Hallie & her angel sister Olivia...23 weekers
Edwin & Serena these little miracles were born at 23 weeks both weighing 1 lb 3oz. The little girl dropped down to 14oz and they were told that the little boy had a 0% chance of surviving. Check them out now!!!
Cooper and his angel brother Logan. Logan was born at 25 weeks in December of 2005 and his brother Cooper, 5 days later. Logan fought hard for 5 months in the NICU but lost his battle late May 2006.
Caleigh is a 28 weeker who was born in August of last year and JUST came home for the first time last month. She scared her parents pretty bad last week, requiring her dad to perform CPR and a week long hospital stay but she's back home, happy once again. Caleigh was born with Gastroschisis (her insides...outside). She's had quite a journey!
Cole, Paige and their angel sister Kaylee
Adam and Andrew - sweet, sweet baby boys born at 26 weeks
Bryce and Kendall - They were born at about 26 weeks and are currently in a NICU in Hawaii. (Their parents were caught way off guard while on a business trip.) Luckily they seem to have a pretty good sense of humor because it seems like everytime they turn around, something else goes wrong. Thankfully the babies are doing great for their gestation and hopefully their NICU ride is quick and uneventful so that the family can return to their home soon. Hawaii would be a fun place to be stranded but not under these circumstances.
And last but definitely not least, Jaxon, Courtney and Colin. These babies hold an extra special place in my heart. Two boys and a girl born at 22 weeks (which is when I went into labor). They are a perfect example of how important those 6 weeks of hospital bedrest I was given were. Courtney and Colin lost their battle a few days after birth. Jaxon fought VERY hard for another 3 months but eventually became an angel in May of 2007.
You guys are so amazing; I like it that you went through all the kiddos and mentioned how you know them- y'all are so wonderful!
