  3. DAY ONE: The doctors did what they could to delay my baby’s birth, but she arrived four months too soon. At 23 weeks’ gestation, she was so early our doctors would not insist on trying to save her. It might be kinder, we were told, to let her die. She weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces. We didn’t know if she would live even an hour.
  4. TOGETHER: For long months, I could hold my daughter only rarely. I tried to memorize those moments. When she grew stable enough for me to lift her on my own, I spent every hour I could rocking her, studying her face. When she was 4 months old, I marveled that although she still depended on machines and monitors, she had grown into a real baby. She recognized me. She needed me.
