My youngest child, Willow, ended up being born at 33 weeks, but she was very nearly born at 26 weeks. The caption under this photo, by flickr user jbonjour, says: 28 week old premie reaches outside her isolette to the world - born 06.16.06 and named Sylvie Blue Bonjour.

It's interesting how most of the picture is a blur, but her hand is so clear. In my experience, when you've got a preemie in the hospital, everything around you, except that feeling that your child needs you, is a blur. This is such a literal interpretation of what that time is like.

The photo was taken last year, so I encourage you to go visit jbonjour's photos to see how Miss Sylvie is thriving. She's amazing and sweet.
