Meet the Lockhart Family
December is supposed to be a joyous month filled with spending time with friends and family and celebrating holidays. Celebrating the birth of your first born child is supposed to share the same joyful excitement. In 2013 both of these celebrated times were given a new meaning with the birth of our daughter Daisy. After a textbook 20 weeks of pregnancy, that final month was filled with fear, anxiety, and pain. That pain was the start of a placental abruption and the ultimate reason our beautiful baby girl came 14 weeks early on December 21st, 2013 weighing 1lb 13oz at 13in long. It was 81 long, stressful days in the NICU of watching, waiting, holding, pumping, and more watching as our tiny, wilted flower bloomed into a beautiful Daisy.
Today, Daisy is an intelligent, active four year old off to Pre-K in the fall
From the surfactant in Daisy’s lungs to the Share Your Story webpage, to the amazing annual March for Babies events, the March of Dimes has been our support system and foundation for ensuring we can give back to those in our position and ultimately fight to end prematurity today.
