My Predestined One

NICU journeys look different for each mom and family.

The time babies have to stay in NICU can vary, but one thing remains true — the babies and parents are mighty warriors with stories of great perseverance, love, hope and resilience.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month 💜

As preemie parents, this month gives us a special opportunity to share our stories, to shine light on how prematurity shapes our babies’ journeys, and transforms our motherhood experience.

It’s also a time for My Predestined One (MPO) to continue our mission of bringing faith-based hope, encouragement, and community to parents walking this journey.

This month, let’s raise awareness together — one story, one prayer, and one act of encouragement at a time.

If you’re a preemie parent, what message or moment do you want to share to bring awareness this month? Drop it in the comments. 👇🏽

Happy NICU Nurse Appreciation Day!

Nicu Nurses do so much to ensure the tiniest of beings and miracles have everything that they need to thrive while in their care!

Thank you for being there so many days, and nights when I couldn’t! Thank you for the time, care, and love sown and given to my little 25 weeker!

Being a NICU Nurse can’t be easy; however, you all do it effortlessly! We thank God for you! Special thanks and shoutout to Plano where our NICU journey began💚

I know you’ve probably heard this many times from well meaning, but misinformed, family and friends….

“Let your baby’s immune system build by exposing them to germs.” 🛑

This is often suggested by well meaning friends and family members, and sometimes strangers. But, the truth is that a premature baby should NEVER be intentionally exposed to germs. Their immune systems are compromised, and being exposed to something like RSV, flu, or common cold symptoms can lead to hospitalization, long-term health complications, and even death.

Have you ever been given this advice, and tell us how you handled it to help a fellow preemie mom⬇️

Fatherhood Fridays! 🤎

Some people don’t believe in heros, but they haven’t met a nicu dad bravely navigating an unpredictable and scary nicu journey.

“Most people don’t talk about infertility. Fewer talk about baby loss. It’s not something that’s addressed. Not even at church. It seems to be a taboo subject, or something that people don’t want to get into, but the sting of it is real. It’s a painful, heartbreaking, and touchy subject. Trust me, I get it.

It’s something you learn to coexist with, but can never fully “get over”.

And I’ve unfortunately been on both sides of it: can’t get pregnant or can’t stay pregnant.”
