Article on preemies

I read a good article in the newspaper today about a premature baby at Women's & Babies right now, almost 4 months early! apparently it's premature awareness month or something like that. So i got to thinking (uh oh!)....that fortunately most mothers in the world will not have to experience what it's like to have a premature baby. but unfortunately (for me), hardly anyone understands what it feels like to have one (or two) preemies. Mine were 9 weeks early and considered "very premature" on the preemie charts. There can be a lot of things kids will struggle w/ due to early birth. And not just right away. There could be things that won't be noticed until they start school. There are a couple things that i feel is due to their prematurity, and one is their fussiness. Man, do they ever cry a lot. And particularly Brad, will have several tantrums a day for no apparent reason. It's hard and can be very discouraging. but i pray for strength and grace to get through those moments and if something didn't develop properly and is causing their fusiness that God would touch their bodies. However, when they aren't fussing, they are so much fun, & it gives me hope that they can and will outgrow this. I look forward to many good times w/ all three boys. All in all I feel extremely blessed. This article opened my eyes yet again that my situation could have been and could be so much worse and i have a lot to be thankful for....
