I actually left the house to go see the fireworks yesterday - that's the longest I have been outside for the last six weeks. It feels great to rejoin the world!

The second whirl. The second pregnancy after having a preemie. The second whorl in our family spiral.
Pregnancy After Having a Preemie
What is the answer? There is no easy answer, no complete answer. I have only clues, shells from the sea...Channeled whelk, I put you down again, but you have set my mind on a journey, up an inwardly winding spiral staircase of thought.

About Me

- I am the mother of an ex-preemie born at 26.1 weeks gestation and a termie born at 38.3 weeks. They are both miracles!
