Preemie and NICU babies are near and dear to my heart, being that I’ve known quite a few of these precious babies and their families in the past couple years. I also have a cousin who is a nurse in the NICU and has relayed many stories of the little ones she ministers to daily. The picture of our dear friends’ baby girl lying in the NICU bassinet the day she was born at 24 weeks has left an impression on my heart that cannot be erased.

I saw this today on Susan Godfrey’s Blog and knew I’d not only found a way to be a little bit of a blessing to these seriously ill and oh-so-precious little ones and their families, but also a way to actually DO something with a few of those five million hats of all sizes we were given before Troy was born. :grin: We were just going through his old clothes last week and didn’t know what on earth we were going to do with all those hats! Many of them were too big when he was born, are too small now, and another baby could never hope to use ALL of them! So I’ll be mailing out a little package with a few baby hats, and praying for the babies and their families who will one day wear them.
