Preemies

Let's a do "Then" and "Now" post

There are a lot of new mamas on here, and I think it is always good to see how far our little preemies have come! 

Welcome to all the new moms!  We know how hard it is.  Hopefully this post will give you a little more hope!

  • I haven't posted here as a regular or even as a lurker in forever.  But I love Then and Now posts and it was always so good when I was going through the NICU and the early days at home to see tiny preemies doing so well at older ages so I thought I would post.  DD is now 4.25 years old. In just a couple weeks we'll be celebrating the 4th anniversary of her "homecoming date".

    Then at 28 weeks (IUGR and pre-e) at 1 lb 11 oz and 12.25 in long.

    image 

    Now at 4.25 years and 33.5 lbs and I'm really not sure how tall. She's a risk taker, super active and social and happy (most of the time).

    Emily 3 days ago, 9.5 months actual (5.5 months adjusted) (15lbs 7oz, 26")

    Emme was born at 23w6d at 0203 on 10 Apr 11. She is in the 3-5% for weight and length on her ACTUAL growth chart. As of today, we aren't showing any developmental delays due to her prematurity.

    Avery is home doing wonderfully and Ethan is still in the NICU, but will be transferred to a rehab facility within a few days so they can wean him off the vent (has a trach) and get him home!

    This exactly.  I had a full term NICU baby for 10 days due to placental infection and I saw how stressful it is to have a micro preemie.  Your babies are so beautiful and I'm crying tears of joy for all of you.
