How Long was your preemie in NICU? :)

[ermm23a]

I have had four preemies now. My newest arrival came on Friday! He was born at 30 weeks weighing 3 lbs 12 oz and is doing great.

My first came at 31 weeks, weighing 3 lbs 7 oz and was in the NICU for 4 and a half weeks. My second son was born at 33 weeks weighing 4 lbs 5 oz and he came home after 2 days... he had no problems My other son was born at 31 weeks and weighed 3 lbs 11 oz and came home after 2 weeks.

All my boys were all over the board for their length of stay. I wish there was a good way to predict how long my newest lil man will stay but I know its all up to him.

Congrats on your newest little man! Hope he is home with you sooner rather than later.

My bubba was born at 26weeks exactly, weighing 640grams. We're now at our 4th NICU unit, today is day 112. He's definitely making progress, slowly but surely we are getting there.
Hopefully not too much longer til we graduate to SCBU..then home time!
