I was born 15 weeks early and only weighed 1 pound, 11 ounces. I've grown a lot since then and weigh 3 pounds 10 ounces now. I no longer need a machine to help me breath but I still need oxygen. I'm working on my breathing and eating so I can go home to be with my family.
I weigh 6 pounds, 6 ounces now. I'm learning how to breast feed and eat from a bottle but it's exhausting. Sometimes I get my milk through a special tube. The nurses say I'm doing great and won't need the tube much longer. I'm still using a little oxygen and pretty soon, I won't need it at all. I love long talks with Dad, snuggle time with Mom, and my burrito wrapper blankets. I think I'm going home soon and can NOT wait!
I was born on New Year's Day, 11 weeks early and weighed 2 pounds, 12 ounces. The first few weeks of my life have been scary for me and my family. I had bleeding in my brain but the doctors say that it's getting better and so am I :) I've been growing, I'm up to 3 and a half pounds. My big brothers, sister, and Mom & Dad can't wait for me to get home. I have to get bigger and stronger first so I'll stay in the NICU a little while longer.
I've been through a lot in my life and am happy to be celebrating my First Birthday!
I was born four months early and only weighed 1 pound 3 oz back then. Now, I'm almost 3 months old and weigh 3 pounds 11 oz. I have been through a lot in my life. I was very, very sick and almost didn't make it. I've had surgery on my back and I still have a lot to overcome before I'm ready to go home from the NICU. My Mom and two big sisters love me very much and can't wait to bring me home.
