World Prematurity Awareness Day 2015

November 17, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

World Prematurity Awareness Day

We talk about World Prematurity Awareness Day because prematurity can happen to any baby. All causes for preterm birth are not even known, but there are ways you can be prepared and reduce your risk of going into preterm labor. The idea of having micro preemie babies never even crossed my radar. In my situation, […]

Are You At Risk for Preterm Birth? World Prematurity Day

November 17, 2014 By katbiggie 3 Comments

World Prematurity Day

When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, which surprisingly turned out to be twins, I never thought twice about having a preterm baby. I had carried two babies to 40 weeks and 1 day each. The first had come on his own (thankfully so, because he had a nukal chord and […]

NICU Moms Photo Contest

I am so excited about this NICU Moms photo contest with WeMontage! One of the things I really want to write more about is what life was like when we were in the NICU. I talk about TTTS, their birth, and of course Kathryn’s death, the importance of doing what we can to reduce prematurity […]

Blood Drive for TTTS

May 9, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

blood drive for TTTS

Most preemies need blood transfusions. So if you’re in Columbia, SC or anywhere near, come on out to the blood drive on Friday, May 16th. I think one of the most amazing things to come out of my journey with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the relationship with other moms and to be […]

NICU baby

Bee beeep beep. Bee beep beep. Bee beeeep beeeeeeeep. Ding ding ding diiiiing. Ding ding ding diiing. Ding ding ding diiiiing. Two years have passed, but the noises are the same.

November 17, 2013 By katbiggie 5 Comments

World Prematurity Day Today we’ll be joining hundreds of thousands of people in making our voices heard about prematurity. If you’ve ever even had to spend ONE day in a NICU, you know it is not a fun place to be. Imagine spending 25 days there? Imagine EIGHT FOUR. That’s how long Tiny spent in […]

{Wordless Wednesday} My Amazing Preemie!

May 1, 2013 By katbiggie 16 Comments

No one ever prepared me for what life would be like to have twins 10 weeks early. One, a 1lb 10 oz micro preemie. The other, much larger, but much sicker. And then Kathryn left us. I can tell you that living in the NICU for 84 days was hell on earth. Thankfully that is […]
