A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM

“We welcomed our TRIPLETS on August 17th at 32 weeks. Our smallest girl, Cecillia, is 2lbs 13ozs and our other girl and boy, Claire and Gregory are 3lbs 12ozs and 3lbs 13ozs.
With triplets we were fully anticipating a stay in the NICU and were hoping to get as far along in the pregnancy to limit our stay. At first I thought making it to 34-36 weeks would be a breeze, but with a triplet pregnancy there are a lot of things to watch out for and we ended up having to deliver at 32 weeks. The doctors and nurses have all been amazing and having anticipated a stay in the NICU I was able to be more mentally prepared for our early delivery, even when it happened unexpectedly.”

A Note From Sarah:

It was such a pleasure meeting this special family. I clicked with them instantly! The babies are simply beautiful and doing very well health wise. I was happened to be there the first time that dad was able to hold Baby B (Cecilia). I was so excited to capture that special moment for this family. With the help of the nurses, we were able to have the babies together for the first time since their delivery so I could capture those images. It was an honor for me to be able to take these photographs for this family.
