The Parkes Family

Jianna (a.k.a. Jiji) was born eight weeks early, weighing 4 lbs., 3 oz. I suffered from severe preeclampsia and she had to be delivered early. She spent fifteen days in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) and weighed 3 lbs., 4 oz. at her lightest. When she came home, she was on a heart monitor for six weeks. Jiji is our 8-year old budding leader, and a super smart girl scout. Jillian (a.k.a. Jilli) was born weighing 5 lbs., 4 oz. and I went into labor eight weeks early. Her birth was complicated by a condition called placenta previa and I hemorrhaged when I went into labor. She was rushed to the NICU at Albany Medical Center, where she spent the next 21 days, because her lungs weren’t quite developed. Jillian is now a happy, healthy, athletic 6-year-old with a heart of gold. Our third daughter, Jenavieve (a.k.a. Jena), surprised us, but we were determined to do everything we could to prevent another “Parkes’ preemie”. Thanks to research by the March of Dimes on the use of progesterone, Jena was born just 1 day before her due date. Jena couldn’t be the only Parkes without a NICU stay, however, as she was admitted at just 10 days old with a viral infection. Jena is now 4 years old...she is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, “class clown” with tons of energy. Our family is excited to be the 2015 Ambassador Family and be a part of the March of Dimes. I am glad to have the support of my employer, General Electric, as Northeastern New York Division’s Presenting Sponsor for March for Babies.
