Preemies

Please share - how small were they, how big are they now?

Just for some encouragement for those NICU moms going through this...how early/how big was your LO, how big/old is she or he now?

Evan (33 weeks) 5lbs 5 oz is now 5 years old and I don't know how big!

Darren (31 weeks) 3lbs14 is now 3 and 30-some pounds

Isaac (27 weeks) 2lbs 5oz is now 8 months and 14 lbs.

  • He was 4 lb 9 oz born close to 31 weeks.  He was over 18 lbs less than a month ago.  The first picture was one of the first pictures taken of him at the hospital--he looks like Elmo in the hospital.  The second picture was taken with his grandma at Thanksgiving.  I just found out he is 19 lbs 10 ounces on Monday night.

  • We still have a little peanut as well. Jocelyn was 3 pounds 11 oz at birth (33 weeks 3 days). Just out of curiosity I weighed the two of us (my weight alone subtracted from the weight I am holding her) and it works out to 7 pounds. She has a doctor appointment later in the week though, so we'll see how accurate that is.
