Holding my baby a little tighter...

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I had a friend on FB recently post she had a friend in the hospital post-preeclampsia who just gave birth to a daughter 12 weeks early.  The mommy had only a 15% chance of survival, and the family didn't have much of anything for the baby once home.  I haven't checked in recently, but last I heard, the family was making the decision to pull the plug. Mommy was not going to make it.  It brings me to tears just thinking of this.  So, my FB friend asked if anyone out there had things to give since the family had very little for baby.  Since my daughter was about the only girl born recently, and we don't plan on any more children, I gladly gave a few items (burp rags, bath tub, wipes, baby wash, small etc items).  I cannot imagine what this family is going through.  I am holding my baby just a little closer lately and appreciate the fact she's healty as am I.  I know this is a little depressing, but I wanted to post it for the fact we sometimes have to just stop and smell our roses sometimes.  Friends of the family are having a shower for the baby, so hopefully they will get everything they need. Baby is doing great, btw.

    I haven't heard much about the father, but I assume he is overwhelmed and was not really prepared being as his baby came so early. I'm not sure what ETA or YGPM stands for.  I'm not up on the bump lingo very well.

    "ETA" - "edit to above" - the poster went back and edited her original post

    "YGPM" - "you've got private message" - she sent you a private message. Scroll down the list of boards on the side until you see the "Check Private Messages" link.

    I'm very sorry to hear about this situation. My prayers go out for them.

    How terrible.   Saying a prayer for that poor family right now.

    You might want to tell your friend to connect the family with https://thelizlogelinfoundation.org      If you are not familiar with Matt and Maddie...Liz, Matt's wife and Maddie's mom died 27 hours after Maddie was born.    Here's his blog.   https://www.mattlogelin.com/    The Liz Logelin Foundation was something he set up to help other widows and widowers with young children.
