Welcome to the Delaney Rose blog...

Delaney was born January 27, 2010 at 3:09 pm on a snowy Gunnison day. She was 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 pound 15 ounces. We survived 80 days in Grand Junction at St. Mary's NICU, and finally made it home the third week in April. We created this blog while living in GJ so that our friends and family could stay up to date on Delaney's progress. We plan to maintain the site and post when we can, so please enjoy!

March of Dimes Walk for Babies in Grand Junction



































Over the weekend we attended our first NICU reunion and March of Dimes fundraiser. The weather was a little grim, but we had a nice time visiting with the doctors and nurses that we now call friends. One of the highlights of the event was seeing Delaney's former roommate, Witten (high-five pic). Delaney's dad was proud of her; she did her best to snub the little boy, which we hope will be a life-long tradition. She also finally got to meet (yet another potential "boyfriend") Gulliver... he lives in Crested Butte and unfortunately did his time at the St. Mary's NICU prior to Delaney's stay but is thriving just as much as our little one (thank goodness).


Thanks to the Garmany family for hosting us, and we're already looking forward to next years trip. In one of the pictures you'll see Jennifer talking to Channel 11 news. She made it onto the news, and now thinks she's Angelina Jolie. In all seriousness, it was a very important even for a lot of people and it was nice to see it get some notoriety. If you're looking for a charity to donate to, we recommend the March of Dimes. We really didn't know much about them prior to our "event", but they can take credit for helping Delaney survive her prematurity.
