Every September, my BFF's meet in Hot Springs for a ladies weekend! I want to document this picture every year. Love them so much! We missed 2010 bc I was pregnant and on bed rest.
Harrison Luther Hardin was born on 10.10.10, after I went into pre-term labor (again) at 26 weeks. We lost Baby Girl (23 weeker) two years ago, September 19, 2008. I suffered from PreEclampsia with both. After our first loss, I was referred to a high risk maternal fetal med dr. I had the BEST prenatal care under Dr. Wendel and Stephanie Wyatt. I give them and our lord credit for getting me to 26 weeks!
Harrison spent 93 days in the NICU at UAMS, where he got expert care from a team of Neonatologists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Lactation Consultants, Ocupational/Physical Therapists, and Nurse Practitioners. We became constant fixtures in the NICU and have made a whole slew of lifelong friends there. We experienced extubation, reintubation, tube feeds, kangaroo care, breast feeds (me),apneas, caffeine, oxygen, d/c tube feedings, d/c O2, a car seat test...I'm sure I left something out. Since his homecoming on January 13, 2011, Harrison has thrived. Amazingly, his lungs are developing well for a baby with Chronic Lung Disease and doing developmentally well for a Level 3 brain bleed. Harrison receives physical therapy once a week and will attend Easter Seals Day School in August. We are so blessed with an amazing family and the most supportive friends in the world!

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day."
