Interesting fact about you? My parents adopted my older sister and I from S.Korea after TTC for 8 years. My mom got preggo with my younger brother 2 months after I arrived in the US (when I was only 6 months old). Then she got pregnant with my little sister a month after having my brother. They were planning to adopt more kids, but out came my two younger sibs!
I was also a preemie! I weighed 2lbs 12oz and was in the hospital for 5 weeks in the NICU. I'm an identical twin and my sister was more than double my weight.
I was a preemie too. I was born 3 months early and weighed 2lbs 4oz. I stayed in the hospital for three months. My parents insurance did not cover over 30 days in the NCIU so they just recently paid off the last of the hospital bill. We were both lucky to be here huh!
