<\/p>\nThree weeks ago, my daughter Lillian Charlotte was born at 33 weeks gestation. <\/p>\n
Lily was born via c-section on November 25 at 1:35 pm. She weighed 4 pounds, 14 ounces and was 18 inches long. She was born so early due to the fact that I developed HELLP syndrome. She’s been in the NICU since she was born, where she’s steadily gaining weight (she’s up to five pounds, 10 ounces today). We’re hoping she’ll be coming home very soon, but we don’t have a date yet. <\/p>\n
