Since both my babies each spent a large chunk of time in the NICU, with Lilli being 5 weeks early, and Conner battling some freak GI infection that we believe he picked up in the terrible horrible awful hospital in which he was born.. In either case, I was at one point faced with the possibility that I might not get to take my babies home.
If you get a chance, please say a prayer or send positive vibes, or whatever you do, for all the families that have had the unfortunate experience of losing a child, and then go hug your babies.
On a related note, I did receive my notification email stating I had been accepted as a photographer with NILMDTS. As you can imagine this will be a very challenging opportunity but one that means a great deal to me, so I'll take your prayers too.
