An article that really caught my attention was entitled "MEMPHIS BATTLING INFANT DEATH EPIDEMIC". The reason this article caught my attention was because it was talking about premature babies. I can so relate to what these small babies are going through. Although, I don't know what exactly happened, I do know that I am a MIRACLE BABY, like all premature babies. I was born two months before I was suppose to be born. (I was born in December but I was suppose to be born in February) I have heard a million stories about how there was so many tubes attached to my tiny body. I wieghed 2 pounds and 13 oz. (Yea I was a tiny little thing) Looking at myself now I can't even imagine how I could have been so small. (WOW!!) My mom told me that I had to stay in the hospital from 2 to 3 months. I was finally able to go home after I reached the appropriate wieght range. I am perfectly normal...(WELL IN SOME SENSE LOL).

Seeing a premature baby is really an eye opener. A premature baby's life is so delicate. (Every baby's life is delicate, Don't get me wrong) There is always a nurse around in the nursery, NO MATTER WHAT. Each baby is assigned their own nurse 24 hours a day. When I found this information out, I was so intrigued by it.

This subject is a very sensitive subject to me (BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED AT BIRTH). I would like for every one to become more knowledgeable about premature babies, and how women can find ways to prevent it. (If possible)

THANX FOR READING MY SEMI STORY!!
