NICU Update - Part 2 of Birth Vlog (*Emotional)

Our daughter was born October 17,2020 and she was 6 weeks premature. Thankfully she arrived really healthy for a premie, but she still needed to be taken to the NICU soon after her birth. Here is an update on our NICU story.

Though this is my third child this is my first premie and the entire experience from start to finish has been different than with my others. The pregnancy was a surprise, Covid made pregnancy weird, plus my son was 8 months old when I discovered I was pregnant. Then I went into preterm labor at 31 weeks which has never happened to me before. The bedrest thing too... that was a first. With my first pregnancy my daughter was born at 38 weeks and my son was born on his due date. (There are birth vlogs of their arrivals too.) When this little babe was born we didn't know her name - that was also different. She has a name now though :) It is Juliette Dorothea. She is a little dream girl. Even though all of this has been unexpected and I am very emotional, there are sooo many reasons why I am grateful. Our health being top of the list, and then I am also just thankful for new experiences. I have been learning so much and my hope is that I will be able to take what I am learning and better support the families who view my videos. Thank you for your support & encouragement!
