Howdy from Lewisville, Texas
Hi Texans,
I love hearing from others about their preemies and I'm so proud of them all!
Updates on Joshlyn of today:
We took her to her pediatrician for her wellness checkup and the results were GREAT! Joshlyn Marie is now 9 months old. She weighs 12lbs, 1oz and 24 1/2 inches long.
We're still trying to get her to get used to the baby food. We've fed her some Del Monte baby food which she doesn't care for so we tried Gerber green beans last night and she seems to like it better. Her doctor told us to steam some freash vegetables and mash them up with some water. We're going to try that.
She stands up but haven't learned how to crawl yet. She can sit up with help. She is catching up fast. She loves her doorway jumper.
We are in the process of updating our web site. www.jmmatthews.net.
You can email me at jlministries777@yahoo.com
Hugs to you all!

October Birthday in Texas
Hi All, Joshlyn will be a year old on the 24th. She is doing great. She's crawling, sitting and standing up. She babbles and coos a lot. She amazes us. We are very proud of her and thank God everyday for bringing her into our lives. She weighs around 15 lbs. She is keeping us busy. Hugs to you all!

March of Dimes Exhibits
This is from Vicky Leland, one of Joshlyn’s NICU nurse. She took SUPER care of Joshlyn during her stay. Hello Everyone! Just wanted to send out an FYI to you all: My March of Dimes Exhibit, titled “Why My Child? A Photo Exhibit on the Crisis of Premature Birth,” has been touring throughout Texas since March. In honor of Prematurity Awareness Month (November), I’m happy to report the exhibit is finally making its way to our part of north Texas!! For those of you who have not been able to see it yet, I wanted to give you dates and places it will be displayed in hopes that you and your family and friends will now be able to come view it. November 15th: (Which is National Prematurity Awareness Day) Cook Children’s Hospital in Ft. Worth will be having a reception for it in its main lobby at 10:30 a.m. November 21 – 25th: It will be on display at the Medical Center of Plano (corner of 15th Street and Coit in Plano) November 28 – December 2nd: It will be on display in the main lobby of the FedEx/Kinko’s Corporate Office (by the Galleria in Dallas) Also, I wanted to let you all know I have a new website up and running (thanks in large part to the help of my very patient husband!!!!) for my book if you are ever interested in getting more copies: www.theworkofyourhand.com. I hope you all are doing well – haven’t spoken with a lot of you in a long while!! As I put this email list together, it struck me just how many, many truly wonderful families I have come to befriend because our paths crossed in the NICU. I hope all continues going well for all your children, and that the very difficult days of your premature birth experience have become a distant memory, and that God continues to bless all your families with good health and happy times! Warmly, Vicky If you cannot see the links or images in this email, click here or cut and paste this URL into your browser's address field. http://www.modnt.org/whymybaby.htm.

Re: I'm in Edinburg,TX
I am so sorry for your loss. They are looking down on you and they know their Mommy misses them. They will always be with you in spirit. My husband lost his son from an old relationship at 5 months. His son was born premature like my daughter was and I look at him as my son, too. He is missed every day.
May God hold you close to his heart and guide you always.

Joshlyn's almost 20 mos. old now
Hi All,
Joshlyn will be 20 months old on the 24th. She is doing GREAT! She is now walking on her own and getting into everything. She has been trying to talk instead of babbling. We went to the NICU reunion last weekend and had a BLAST! We got to see a few of others that were there with my daughter. Everyone was amazed with how Joshlyn is walking on her own and with how well she is doing.
Hope everyone is doing well and God BLESS!

My Taylor was born at 25 weeks at Baylor Downtown and was 1#3oz. She started coming at week 23 but we held her off even though she had no fluid! She is now almost 3 and 21# and other than breathing treatments when she has a cold, she has no symptoms. We had wonderful staff at Baylor and ECI therapists that helped us get to where we are now. It is so great to read everyone's story. I am trying to find out if I can volunteer at Baylor NICU. That is what got me to this page!!

I am from the Sherman Plano Area
I am from a small town of Van Alstyne, but my daughter was born in Plano at Medical Center of Plano! Which I would say had the best NeoNatal! I just loved all th doctors and the nurses! My daughter was born 3 months premature and weighed in at 1 lb 10 ounces. She is going to be 2 this summer and she has no problems from her birth! Actually when she was born, she never had any problems, which every doctor said was strange, due to why she was born! I hope to hear from some fellow graduates parents' from around Texas!

Re: I am from the Sherman Plano Area
Hi!!!
I believe we met you and your husband in the hallway at the Plano NICU when we were up there visiting the doctors and nurses with our daughter, Joshlyn who spent 101 days in that NICU from 10/04-2/05. It's GREAT to see how great Emma is doing. She is a DOLL! Joshlyn is now 2.5 yrs old and is doing GREAT.
Yep, I agree... the Plano NICU is the BEST! The doctors and nurses were GREAT!
Glad to see you here.

Hey ladies I'm going to be in Houston Friday, Sat., and Sunday just wondering if any of you wanted to meet or get in touch. We'll be taking Isabella to the Children's museum on Saturday. I know everyone is busy so no problem if we can't meet or talk. Just thought I'd let everyone know  . Donnavie

Proud mother to 2 preemies - a former 26 weeker (who is now a silly 8 year old) and a 23 weeker (my beautiful little angel in the sky). |

Another Texan Here
I'm new to Share and trying to learn how everything works here. I'm from Houston but I live in Splendora, which is right outside of Houston. I'm pretty close to many other cities too. My first preemie was born at Memorial Hermann but my second preemie (my little angel in the sky) was born in Temple. I hope to meet some Texans and make some friends.

Welcome Mom2littleAngel! So glad to have another fellow Texan with us  . I hope to read more about you and your family and get to know you. Have you thought of starting a blog or creating a short story about your experience? I live in Corpus Christi but I'm in Houston very often. I know there are other ladies here who are Houston based also. Take care and can't wait to hear more about your family. Donnavie

Re: Texas girl
My son ryan was there from may 7th to july 23rd. I loved them. The nurse were so sweet. They felt like our second family. My husband is a soldier and was supposed to go in the feild for 3 weeks and there wrote a letter to his CO to get him to stay behind. They also tried to do whatever they could for us.
P.S. Im new to this site and im not sure how to start my own post or where to do my intro.

Hi VanessaB!
I think it is great that you want to be a volunteer for Mod!! I have a couple of links here that might help lead you in the right direction. The first is a link to events that are happening around your great state of Texas click here for Mod Texas Chapter You can locate the Houston office at this address:
Houston Division Address: 3000 Weslayan, #100
Houston, TX, 77027
Phone: (713) 623-2020
Fax: (713) 964-5417 I'm sure they would be happy to hook you up with Share brochures to deliver and will be able to tell you about any local volunteer opportunities. Here in the Get Involved section we also have a folder called 'Getting local'. In this folder you can connect with other members who live in your great state. Here is a link to that folder Click here for Getting Local - Texas We have several members here at Share who live in Texas. As a matter of fact, this year's ShareUnion is being held in Houston! It will be mid October so keep an eye out for more info as the date gets closer. I would love it if you can come! I hope this helps! Thanks again for your interest in volunteering! Karen

Re: I live in Pasadena
Wow, it has been a while since I have posted or been on ShareYourStory.org. We are still in Pasadena and I was wondering if you were still in Pearland. Our daughter is now 6 and has started kindergarten....started a post about that.
Hope to stay around this time and hope to hear from you.

Houston Area Moms of Preemies
Hey everyone!
I am a mother of 2 boys (one of which was a preemie born at 24 weeks gestation) living in the Cypress Texas area. I am walking with my family for the March for Babies in May and I am looking for 11 or so other moms of preemies living in the area to help me with a fun fundraising project. I have a blog and dabble in photography and would love to make a vintage inspired calendar of March of Dimes Moms to sell to raise money toward our goal. This will be very tasteful (very PG and classy) and will be sold online on my blog as well as locally. I'd like to get started RIGHT AWAY since there is not much time left to pull this together and would like to do the photo shoot the first week of April sometime. If you or another preemie mom you know would be interested, visit my blog www.seecatecreate.wordpress.com for examples of what we'd be doing and contact me asap! I need 11-12 willing models! This is totally for fun so don't feel like you have to be stick thin or a pro to be a model! This will be a great way to meet other preemie moms in the area as well as get in some playful pampering and get some fun FREE vintagey hot pics of yourself!

I don't live in the Houston area but one of our former Share mom's does. If you search for "Lilygrace'smom" on Share, you can click on her name and find an e-mail address for her. She might be interested or might know other people who would be.
Wishing you lots of luck in your search!
