Exactly a week ago, my wife went to bed with a bad stomach ache. Little did we know this was really the precursor to a series of events that would bring our daughter to us the next day, seventy-one days early. She (my daughter) is now negative sixty-five days old and doing quite well. As my wife and I start to share our experiences as first time parents of a premature child, we’ll start by recounting the last week to get everyone up to date.
Sorry, it has been a really busy year. To all of you who are still waiting on wedding pictures: we will finally get around to uploading them. To give you an idea of our time since the wedding, we went on our honeymoon, decided to start trying for our first kid, hosted our teenage niece for a month,got pregnant really fast, worked through a huge project at the job, got scared to death over the pregnancy about every week for the first trimester, chilled for a month, and now we’re to the present. Phew, that was tough. Sorry we didn’t hold up our end of the bargain on the wedding blog. We promise we will make up for it with the baby blog.
