Five years ago tomorrow, Peanut was born 6.5 weeks early. We were very, very lucky. He was well-developed, a fighter, and needed only 9 days in the NICU with minimal interventions.
Prematurity is a leading cause of neonatal death and sadly, the US has one of the highest rates of premature births in the developed world.
