it's hard to believe that trevor is 18! i remember the day he was born so clearly. he was 7 weeks early only weighing 4 lbs. 8 oz. i wondered how long he would have to be in the hospital being so small and all. i remember leaving the hospital empty handed. i was so sad not taking my wee little one with me.
i was only 19 when he entered the world. trevor couldn't wait until my 20th birthday as it was only 3 days away. he had a mind of his own from day one. i remember how the nurses use to tell me he was rolling over in his incubator. that he would rub his little knees raw that they had to put this special tape on him so not to hurt his self. he went from tube feeding, to little bottles to finally me. this little one surprised us all. he came home only a week after his birth.
before we left the hospital we had to take a cpr class just in case trevor had any complications at home. he went home on a heart monitor that we weren't sure how long he would be on. we didn't know what being 32 plus weeks preemie meant. what life would be like for little trevor kempe.
trevor was truly a miracle baby!! he was off his heart monitor at 5 weeks. he started growing and eating like crazy. today...you would never know he was a preemie.
