9 EAST GRANBY, Conn. On July 21, 2011, Master Sgt. Jessica Roy gave birth to her first child, Austin. He was born prematurely at 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound, 11 ounces.
Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford promptly placed him in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.
“I was at the NICU all day every day until my maternity leave ended, and then I had to come back to work,” said Roy, 103rd Security Forces Squadron S2 Intelligence and Investigations Superintendent and Antiterrorism Program Manager. “So I would come to work, go right from work to the NICU for a couple of hours every night, and then go home so that I could rest and come back to work the next day.”
