How precious these little ones are!  Our twin g'sons were premature and small but one is average now and the other is in the 98th percentile for height and weight for five year olds.  How they can surprise us! 

My prayers are with you, the babies and their parents.

Cheryl,
Congratulations!  Granddaughters are wonderful...I have two.  Yours is in my prayers already.  My grandson was born eight weeks early four years ago and you would never know it now!  Care for newborns is remarkable and so are the prayers and love from this community!
Hugs,

Cheryl...pirate socks on!  My best friend's sister was 3 months early with a 1#6oz baby boy....who is now a precocious 10 year old with no signs that he was such a preemie.  Your new granddaughter will do fine!   Good thoughts and wishes headed to your family from Washington!!!

Hugs!  Kathleen

Those premies are stong little fighters!  I'll keep your family in my thoughts and hope that your newest granddughter can come home soon.

P.S.  Another positive story - a friend of mine had triplets at 32 weeks, and they all had huge, scary health challenges in the hospital for the first six weeks.  Now, at 2 1/2 years, they're all perfect and healthy and you'd never know they had such a rocky start.

Thank you to everyone and your care and good thoughts.    I know she is going to do fine in time. The NICU nurses have been wonderful.        Both of us grandmas are nurses but we are used to old folks!                    The 3 yr old has been super condsidering her  world got turned upside down in the middle of the night Fri.               She has always been my sunshine thru all the blue AN times.                   The new Mom and Dad are doing well too.

Cheryl, congratulations on a new baby granddaughter.  I'm sure she will be just fine. They do wondrous things in that NICU now.  My neighbors had twins who were preemies. The girl was about 3 lbs. So tiny!  They will be 3 in May.  They are doing great.  Have the baby in my thoughts.

  Good news on the baby front!   Our little granddaughter came home yesterday at 3 weeks old.    Alll of a little over 4# of her!         She is taking breast milk from a bottle which is how they finally got her to get going eating.            She came home in an Iowa ice storm but they made it ok.
The weather is preventing us from going to go visit but will in a couple days.    We have had 9 or 10 " snow now also.
