I am so proud of her. She didn't panic and stayed calm the whole time.

Destiny is a fighter - she's had to be in order to still be here. When I look at her I can't believe she's the same tiny baby that's in the pictures.

It was her destiny to be here living. With all the problems . . . they did not think she would make it.

I have to remember not to compare her to other kids her age because she was born so early. I know she'll get there in her own time.

I think it may have just been stress. My grandmother died on Feb. 9 the year before and I was thinking about that and it may have triggered the labor.
