I have been unsure whether or not to write this post for a few days now but I am going to go for it because this blog is not about me, it is about Esther and William, their arrival into this world, their journey through NICU and their daily development as they continue to grow.

This is my baby record book, my memory box, it is for Esther and William to treasure for always the things that they cannot remember by themselves.

I started this blog in August 2010 to record the 59 days Esther and William spent in intensive care when they were first born at 27 weeks gestation. I started this blog as a way of helping others who found themselves walking in our shoes. I started this blog as a way of helping friends and family understand what we were going through. I started this blog as a release.

I would be honoured if you would nominate Edspire: Esther and William in the World for a MAD Award. We are a new blog and I think that our story is an inspirational one. Babies who have survived against all the odds and continue to grow bigger and stronger everyday.

If you read our story, if you follow our journey and you like what you see then please nominate us to receive an award in recognition of our tale so far.

To learn more about these awards visit the website where you can also make your nominations for this year’s awards.

Thank you x
