My NICU Graduate's Journey
Tatum was born at 22 weeks and 2 days.
1lb 0.5 oz 11in long
She has been a fighter from birth
She spent 151 days in the NICU
Tatum is fed by mouth and the rest Gtube
She started out in Huggies Nano Preemie diapers and has made it to Huggies size 1
She’s currently 8months actual 4m adjusted
12lbs 10.5 oz and 23inches
Tatum has proved that 22 weeks deserve a fighting chance.
She’s the happiest baby who is truly thriving.
She’s beat all the odds and she is in fact our little miracle!
She loves to roll around and play with her toys and big brother.
She’s blowing raspberries and always has something to say.
Tatum is just what we needed.
She completed our little family.


What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Everything. So vague, I know. But she’s beyond incredible and strong.
She never truly got out of the honeymoon phase.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, we had some scares.
But nothing that made us think it was gonna be the end for her.
