Today is World Prematurity Day đź’ś
We didn’t expect Rupert to come early.
At first, we were in denial. Then suddenly it was happening.
And then we were holding the tiniest little thing in our hands.
We had nothing ready. No clothes that fit. No idea what lay ahead.
Nights in hospital. Feeding struggles.
Waiting with bated breath at every weigh-in, every update.
It’s a time that can feel so incredibly lonely - like you’re caring for something more fragile than you ever imagined.
If you’re in the thick of it right now, our hearts are with you.
You’re doing something extraordinary. 💛
