Lauren Delaney Schlossberg was born at 25 weeks 6 days gestation. She weighed 1 pound 5 ounces and was 12 1/2 inches long.

Lauren has to be delivered early via C-section due to me having severe preeclampsia with HELLP syndrome. 

Lauren spent 129 days in the NICU at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.

Over the past 5 1/2 years, Lauren has overcome so many challenges that all preemies face, like developmental delays and physiological delays. Today she is a bright, happy, health 5 year old who is about to complete kindergarten. 

She also loves Shopkins and playing soccer.

It is very important to us to get stories like Lauren's out into the world so that we can help future families in similar situations.
