Can I brag about my preemie just a little? (PIP)

DD is a fabulous eater! Our hard work to figure out BFing has really paid off. She entered the world at 3lbs 8oz (35wks, IUGR) and weighed in yesterday at 9lbs 14oz!! She has adorable little thigh rolls and a sweet smile. 

Happy 4th of July!

Yeah for your little sweetie!

She is so precious

...and I am so happy for you both! I'll just keep telling you that ;D

P.S. We're almost at one year EBF! I can't believe it! What a fight, huh.

Yep. Brag away. 

Our kids should be friends. DS entered the world due to IUGR weighing 3 lbs 4.5 oz. He will be four months old tomorrow and last time he was weighed (monday) he was 11 lbs 6 oz. In fact... I think he was probably pretty close to the same weight at 3 months 1 week. AND we EBF too.  

That's crazy! Looks like your LO was leaving the NICU right when DD arrived. It would be wild if you guys were also a MN family. It's nice to post here, where people really understand how awesome it is when preemies learn to EBF!

Thanks! We're still thankful for your encouragement and so proud that we made it!

I hope you're doing something special to celebrate 1 year of EBF. That is huge!!

Congrats! Way to go!

Add my DS to the club - born at 34 weeks due to IUGR and pre-e at 3lbs 6oz. He's 9mo now and weighs 17lbs!

What a cutie.  Why is it that chubby thighs are adorable on babies but not so cute on adult women?  So glad she is doing well.

I also want to say that Muffin Tops are also adorable on babies and not cute on adult women! I love right after Adalyn eats she has a huge belly!
