Into and Questions

Hi,

I'm the very blessed Mom of a Micro-Preemie, born May 2, 2011.  DD was born via an emergency c-section at 25 weeks.  She weighed 1 lb 3 oz and was 11 inches long.  Today she is 9 months old and weighs 12 lbs 5 oz and is 24 inches long.  She spent 4 months in the NICU at INOVA Fairfax Childrens Hospital (LOVE them), and came home in September of 2011.

It's hard to believe that she will be a year old soon. She's been through so much and has fought so hard to get through her time at the NICU, but she's a fiesty little girl.  She just amazes me... barely a year old and she's already a better and stronger person than I ever could be.

My questions are more recommendations... I am of course getting excited about her approaching birthday, and am looking for recommendations of an awesome bakery for her cake and a room or place to have it that allows you to bring you own food and beverages.  Both need to be in Northern VA and closer to Prince William County... Woodbridge/Lake Ridge/Montclair area would be best for the place or room.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!  =)

  • Have you checked the Lake Ridge club houses at all? That would be the only rec I'd have, a work friend had a wedding shower there.

    I'm in your neck of the woods! Congrats on your little girl!
