Sorry folks! My chunky monkey wanted some extra attention, and of course the bump won't let me delete!

Then- born at 31 weeks 4lbs 17 in

Then: 28 weeks 1 day (she was 1 day old here), 1 lb 11 oz - IUGR (Nov. of 2007)

Now: 3 years 4.5 months old, around 30 lbs. (pic in late Mar. 2011)

She's small for her age (particularly in height), but she makes up for it with tons of personality, a super social nature, and a huge imagination! Just today she was playing at a park with an 18 month old who was her same height. LOL. We get that a lot! No lasting preemie issues ... we are very fortunate!

That field is so gorgeous, and your DD is beautiful, such a classic pic! And DD's really small for her age, too, I'm thinking if this baby is born full term and not IUGR like she was, people will definitely be asking if they're twins. lol

Thanks Shannon! Even in a drought and crappy wildflower year like this one Texas can have some pretty fields. We caught a lot of great images that day. I love the country/classic feel of this one too!

I could totally see that happening (re:twins comments). Seriously - kids DD's age are a head taller than her and she is the same height as kids 1/2 her age and younger. If it weren't for her language skills people would not believe her age if I told them.

Lily, 1 lb, 8 oz

Andrew was born at 26w2d, 2 lb 3 oz, but this is the oldest pic I have. This was at about a month old (so 30+ weeks gestation) and just after he came off the vent. He was looking much better at this point and I remember feeling like he was getting really cute.

Now: (taken 1 month ago) - he is 27 months old, 24.6 lb...opinionated, cute, a good boy, and loves to explore!

We are still fairly new though I'll post what a difference a month makes!! I love seeing all of the vets then & now pics - it gives me such encouragement!!

This was when he was about a week old born at 32W1D due to pProm

Around two weeks old

& what a difference a month makes!! This was taken when he was a month old- last week!! He is getting so big!!

I don't think he would recognize me without the camera in front of my face - I'm always taking pictures of him - my little nugget!!
