How are our preemies doing?

jesselayne8 · June 2015

No one has posted in the birth announcement thread so I am not sure how many we have. Is it 3 or 4 now? How are the babies and mommas doing?

Preemie mom checking in here! My little guy is just over 2 months old and weighs 3 lbs 2 ounces. He is hands down every nurses favorite in the NICU! I was able to give him his 1st bottle feeding yesterday and he drunk it all like a champ! He's right on track to come home near his due date on August 6th. I'm doing good as well and have been back to work for about 6 weeks now. Saving the rest of FMLA for when my little guy comes home.

So glad to hear he is doing well!

Thanks all! I'd love to hear how the other moms and babies are doing as well.

Look at your strong boy! He's a tough guy! Sounds like he's gaining weight well. Hate you've only gotten to hold him 4 times. I bet that is killing you. Prayers for him and you!

Thank yous!! We appreciate it

jesselayne8 · June 2015

@kelsiowens big hugs!! Your boy is a fighter! Hope you get to snuggle him more soon.

What little fighters you've got! So glad they're getting bigger and stronger. Praying they're in your arms and home very soon.

3 1/2 actually. Being home alone was harder than working, it's a healthy distraction. I did not have a c-section so there was not much healing for me.
