Introduction

Our sons Charles George Fitzpatrick and Henry Michael Fitzpatrick were born prematurely on November 16, 2013 at a gestational age of 24 weeks and 1 day. Their "due date" was March 7th, 2014. We started this site on November 28th.

Both Aly and David will be posting to the site. While you will probably be able to tell who is writing by our writing styles, we will sign off on our entries with our initials so you will be sure of the author.

November 23, 2013. 1 Week Old

Saturday proved a very strange day. We had been calling all night so we knew that Charlie had been staying stable all night. It was heartbreaking to see him but he was alive. We sat at the hospital for hours and we couldn't believe how calm everything was. They dimmed the lights and since the care plan for the day for both boys was to rest, they had very little interference. It was impossible to believe that there could be a day like this so soon after yesterday's crisis.

We left the hospital at 4pm and did some errands, regularly shaking our heads in disbelief.
