Beau's Mom · Posted: April 25 2003, 2:06 PM Post subject:

Beau was born at 31 weeks, he was 6 lbs because he was in heart failure and had a condition called hydrops. The doctors gave him no chance for survival. I knew we were in trouble when the nurse was crying when the doctor was talking to me. But he showed them. He lost about 1.5 lbs and got to 4.5 lbs.
He is now 17lbs at 10 months old.

Alex was a preemie. He was 32 weeks and weighed 5lbs and was 21 inches long.

Of course he dropped some weight and was just under 4lbs since he had duodenal atresia surgery when he was 3 days old.

Now he will be 15 next weekend, is 5'5" and weighs 130lbs...he's a monster!

MiniMidgMom · Posted: October 13 2006, 5:41 PM Post subject:

Mini-Midg was born at 26 weeks, 1 pound 9 ounces (707 grams). Now at 14 months (11 months adjusted) she's babbling and imitating words, sitting up by herself and almost 21 pounds. I joke that I don't know what happens at the end of "what to expect when you're expecting." This time around, Baby X is already larger then his/her's gestational age and we're expecting them to move the due date up. Maybe I'll get to finish that book!

Reuben weighed 6 lbs 7.5 oz born at 39wks+6days. I was induced due to gestational diabetes. They didn't want him to get too big. We didn't have to worry about that! He was my smallest baby. He swallowed meconium, had the cord wrapped around his neck and was in distress. The doctor had me push even though I was only dialated to 7. Luckily we were able to deliver without an emergency c-section. Reuben was in the NICU for 3 weeks. He is now almost 2 !/2 and weighs about 30lbs and is 32 inches tall.

My little ray of sunshine Stephen was born at 33 weeks and 6 days 3 lbs and 3 oz 16 in long. He spent 20 days in the NICU to learn how to eat. he is 10.5 mo and just shy of 15 lbs he is also a little less then 25 inches long now.

I had PIH they think it was due to the Ds and his placenta not working well (it was very small) he also had a very narrow cord, the Dr said he had seen that with Ds also.

Russell was 6lbs 3oz at birth, 40 weeks. He was born a day after his due date actually. Now, comparatively, my girls were both 7lbs 3oz and both were 2 weeks late! So... for me he WAS smaller and "sooner" like they said! heehee

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! ENJOY!
