Quick intro: DH and I are adopting from a family member.  She claims she didn't know she was pregnant, was on drugs and delivered in May.  The docs estimate he was somewhere between 25-28 weeks gestation weighing in at 1 lb 12 oz.  Fastforward to today and he is a plump Wink 4 lb. 10 oz.  The only things keeping him in the NICU are he can't take a whole feed from his bottle and he's having de-sats and occasional bradys.  Oh and we are in two different states so I can't go visit him daily and bond. Crying

 I don't really have any questions at the moment.  I just wanted to say hello!

    Wow, sounds like a difficult situation.  I hope your baby gets stronger every day.

    I have a preemie parenting blog with tons of articles about being in the NICU with a preemie, choosing doctors and dealing with nurses, surviving the NICU as a parent, bringing baby home, and raising a preemie.  I invite you to take a look at my blog, browse around and read some helpful information and advice, and share your thoughts and experiences with us.

    Good luck to you and your little one.

    Congratulations! That baby sounds very lucky that you are going to take care of him instead of his biological mother. I hope you meet him soon.
