The scary banana allergy was just the beginning of a huge realization for me that as the mom, theres an instinctual knowledge about what works for you and the health of your baby that no doctor or professional can understand. I learned a critical lesson that day, to listen to myself, to trust my own instincts, the knowledge that as the mother of this new little girl, there was no advice better than my own.

I write a weekly column for BabyCenter‘s Momformation blog, and today I wrote a little something about my dear friend Kami Bigler. She’s the proud new mother of a micro-preemie baby girl, Afton Jean Bigler, born 2 days ago at the tiny birth-weight of 12.7 ounces. She was born way too soon.
About 3 1/2 months too soon, in fact.
Kami and her sweet family can use any and all support you have right now. If you have any well wishes, notes, prayers, or happy thoughts will you send them into the universe? It’s going to be a long Winter for the Biglers, and they could use some community support.
Many, many thanks.
Even though my pregnancy was less than standard, my labor (thankfully) was as smooth as silk. I pushed for less than twenty minutes while my family congregated just outside the delivery room door, but when my daughter arrived she didn’t make a sound. Of course I was terrified something had gone horribly wrong. For several minutes there was absolute silence while I cried and looked frantically from face to face, hoping for some sign of an answer from one of the nurses.
To read the entire story about the first time I met my daughter go to ABC’s Million Moms Challenge. It gives me chills just thinking about it now, thirteen years later.
