Here’s a hopeful story for those who need it🫶🏼


Host Carrie Alexander invites her hometown friend Meredith Mckee on the show to share her beautiful testimony as a “NICU” mom. Meredith was 33 weeks pregnant when she unexpectedly went into labor, and she welcomed her daughter Scarlett into the world when she was 34 weeks pregnant. Due to being so early, Scarlett had to stay in the NICU for what ended up being 21 days. Though nothing went “to plan” Meredith shares the incredible ways God showed up in big and small places and answered SO many prayers. From amazing nurses, to miracle moments in Scarlett’s journey, to the pain that can come from not coming “home” with your baby, this episode covers a lot of ground. 


If you, a sister or friend has walked through a time in the NICU, we hope this episode blesses and encourages you!
