Where to begin.....

....I have no idea. I have no idea where to really begin with our journey. I've been thinking for a long time about starting another blog, and I wish I could have captured in "real time" what it's like to go thru the birth of micro-preemies, 2 NICU's in 2 different cities, the loss of a child, and a 178 day NICU stay for our son. But I didn't, because, well, life just didn't allow for that at the time. But on a daily basis, I still feel all the emotions associated with our life over the last year. Alternating between utter joy and utter despair on the daily has become a way of life I never anticipated, but I'm here and I want to share it with you. So let's start with some basics: (B)lessings: Broncho (P)erverance: Pulmonary (D)etermination: Dysplasia Most micro-preemie parents will understand BPD and it's continued theme in this blog. Basics about me: Soon to be 42.... I'm the "old" mom you should want to be friends with...I'm snarky yet kind, friendly yet introverted, funny yet serious... I am...a wife. A mother. A nurse. An only child. A daughter. A lover of books, music and art. I curse like a sailor. I love iced coffee and sushi (cliche, right?!?). I am a terrible pregnant person. My body just doesn't do pregnancy well.... And because of that, we are NICU survivors.
