Our happy Hyrum boy is 7 months old now, and as I happened to see some of the pictures the other day of when he was in the NICU, I was reminded that I’d never shared our experience with him being born premature in much detail. I think it would have helped me a lot …
Our Christmas elf arrived a little early this year! Hyrum Matthew Born: 12/11/2019 @ 8:09 p.m. Weight: 6 lbs., 12 oz. Height: 18″ Due to being born at 35 weeks, 5 days gestation, he had to spend two days in the NICU, but he’s home with us now and healthy! Birth story and more details …
