Looking back on the birth of our daughter has me flooded with emotions I’ve buried for over a year now. She turned one year old a few days ago, and only now am I able to edit and share the photos from her time in NICU. I remember looking through the photos I took within a few days of finally getting home from the hospital, but the pain was too recent to relive. But now, over a year later, I’m excited to share Willow’s birth story and hope it gives fellow NICU parents comfort that they’re not alone and that there’s plenty of life ahead outside of the hospital walls.
