November is Prematurity Awareness Month, the time of year when the March of Dimes brings special attention to the fight against premature births and other serious threats to infant health. Prematurity is the number one killer of newborns.
My tomatoes were especially premature and especially lucky. Most babies born as early as Jackson and Tabitha lead different lives, not lesser lives, different. They are just as special as the tomatoes and possibly more amazing. Here are a couple of my favorite preemies to watch grow and develop, aren't they most darling girls? And their parents are tough and adorable - a winning combination!
I blog to share with people my experiences as a nanny, not to represent preemies everywhere. All babies, families and situations are different. I blogged about Prematurity Awareness for that reason - to raise awareness.

- Photo Information: On days when there are photos to go with the blog, there will be a camera image to click to go to the corresponding photos. In order to view photos of all these little munchkins, you must be invited to the photo blog. Due to excessive amounts of traffic, I am trying out a new system. When you find yourself interested in my photo blog, please contact me and let me know! I'll want to know more about you and get to know you a bit, so there will be a waiting period of 6-8 weeks before you will be invited into the photo page. During this time we can get to know each other better, you can read my blog, I can read yours, etc... I hope that everyone understands the need for this degree of patience!
