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!
Re: Into and Questions
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!
this!
Me, too! And wow, what a fighter you have!
