A year ago today, I was frantically trying to get a flight from North Dakota to Florida. I had to get down to see my baby sister who had delivered her daughter at 24 weeks 5 days gestation. Precious Emma came into this world weighing a mere 15 ounces, that's right - not even a full pound. She was just 10 1/2 inches long, no taller than a bottle of water. I jumped on the first flight out the next morning, and got down by noon that day. Straight to the hospital I went. To see a baby that small, there are just no words to describe it. You just cannot believe something so tiny can live and breathe and be so breathtakingly beautiful.
Tonight we celebrated with our little miss Emma Bean.
A year old already! She's a miracle.
She can have her cake and eat it, too!
We love you, Emma Bean!
