Just wanted to give update on Skylar......


This is what Sammie and Cody put on facebook.

1 year ago today on October 10, 2013 I went into labor with Skylar at just 32 weeks. Hours later our beautiful little boy was born weighing in at just 4lbs 5oz. And now here he is a big one year old weighing in at 19 whopping pounds! He has came so far so fast and has not let his prematurity slow him down not once! My son has had a rough start even during my pregnancy. Everyday something else was wrong, in and out of hospitals, cat scans, what seemed like a hundred ultrasounds and so many scary moments where I thought I lost him. Knowing that my placenta previa and accreta had a chance of both of us not making it.... My son is a survivor and I am so blessed to have him in our lives and to be able to call him mine!


Thanks for all the prayers. Hugs for everyone. Devon

Love the one with his tongue sticking out. Maybe that is his reaction to strained peas....lol

May God continue to bless this little miracle and of course being born on the 10th makes it extra special - he shares his birthday with me! he he he! All kidding aside it's great to see him progress so far. I pray he continues to grow in body, mind and spirit. Love and blessings Chris

I love happy endings. He is a handsome guy. Your pictures remind me so much of my great nephew when he was born at 1 pound 7 ounces.

My own son was born two months premi at just three pound four ounze and he is now 48 and over six foot tall.
So much has changed in those years as then i was not allowed to hold or touch him and only saw him in the incubator behind a glass window. You had the chance to bond with your little miracle unfortunatly i didn't and We both missed out a lot as he was a month old before i held him in my arms, So happy that these days they realise the importanc of that bonding time.
I pray that he willl continue to grow in your love and devotion and become a man you will be more than proud of.

Annie, the hospital gave my daughter a sock doll, to put under her pj and sleep with. It had her scent on it and they put them in the pods, with Avery and Isabella, so they would 'know' their mom. Times haven't changed much. I held Avery at about a month to 6 weeks.

Lovely. Nice to have a picture "history" that you can show him when he is a grown up. Hugs.
