On [name_f]September[/name_f] 21st my little miracle, [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] was born at 23 weeks and 5 days old. When she was born, she was less than a pound at only 14 oz and 10 inches long. They were able to stabilize her and she’s doing well. The NICU staff at our hospital is amazing and we are eternally grateful for them.
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] means glory and in her room at the hospital is a little sign the nurses made that says “[name_f]Cleo[/name_f], full of glory”. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] means “bearer of good news” and we feel that’s very accurate. She has such a strong spirit and we know she’ll grow and thrive until it’s time to bring her home.
Her sister is [name_f]Nova[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and is a great helper.
Oh, congratulations!! From one NICU mama to another, my heart is with you during her journey to grow and be strong. They are such special little miracle babies, preemies, and I’m so glad she’s doing well.
Oh my goodness, congratulations! I’m happy to hear that little [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is strong and stable, but I’m so sorry that you’ve had to go through what must have been an incredibly difficult and stressful start. Wishing her and you all the very best in the difficult weeks ahead. You’ve chosen an absolutely stunning name for your little miracle, love love love it!
[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]! You made a lovely name choice. Sending good wishes to you and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] as she continues to grow.
What a little fighter your [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is! [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] certainly fits her! Reminds me of strong women from history, especially [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] who was extremely intelligent, a more than capable ruler and was a woman with a will of iron! Congratulations to you and your family and praying that [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] grows healthily and will soon go home!
Thank you everyone! I’m so touch by everyone’s kind words. Our [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is a unique girl. She’s strong and still doing well in the NICU. She’s only 12 days old but we know she’s a spunky one already.
