1 in 8 babies are born prematurely. Jacob was that 1. Born at 30 weeks and 2 days gestation, weighing only 2lbs. 9oz.,
suffering from RDS(respiratory distress syndrome), 2 NEC(necrotizing enterocolitis) infections,
and the daily struggles for being so small & premature.
He spent 11 weeks in the NICU
and came home a healthy 5lbs. 7oz. little boy
all thanks to prayers, love, and the March of Dimes.
