The Video that Every Woman Makes them Cry

Ward was born 3 and a half months early. This puts him at the "very preterm" or "extremely preterm" range, depending on the specific week of his birth. He is on multiple monitors and assistive devices for feeding and breathing. But as we see him develop and grow, my heart overflows with joy. By the end of the video, as we see him kicking his legs and laughing, you would never guess that he had such a rough start.

Watching Ward grow into a healthy baby was truly heartwarming. It's great to know that there is a community to help parents in this position, and that there are many instances like Ward's, of a preterm baby growing up to be as healthy and happy as any other. I'm sure in another few years, the fact that Ward was born premature would just be an afterthought. What do you think? Share your reaction in our comments section.
