Zoe The Feisty

 

 

 

My name is Zoe. I was born July 11, 2006 at 4:05 PM, 7 weeks early. That makes me a "preemie". I weighed 2 pounds 8 ounces and was 15 inches long.

I am lucky, I have two mommies. My mom is named Lori and my mama, Vera. I was born early because my mom developed pregnancy induced eclampsia. It was so stressful on both her and me that I was delivered by emergency C-Section. I lived in the NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit) until I was 7 weeks old at the hospital.

My name means "life" in Greek and in French. My mommies picked that name after I was born to remind us of how blessed the three of us are to be a family!

I earned my nick-name “Feisty” from the nurses in the NICU.  Even though it was there to help me breathe easier, I hated the nasal cannula so much that I pulled it off my face, alot. I hated my feeding tube too. So I kept pulling it out of my nose. (I was really uncomfortable).
