Well I joined back in December after learning my daughter would likely be premature. To our surprise she was born only a few days later so I didn't have any time to participate in any discussions.

Sofia was born on 12/15/11 at 24 weeks 3 days and weighing only 500 grams (1 lb 2 oz). The doctor's said she had a 20% chance of survival, and if she survived there was an 80% chance she would have major problems. Their recommendation was to abort and try for a "normal" baby later. To our delight she has not only survived but she is doing amazingly well. She has taught to never give up and that miracles do happen.

If you want to see all of the in between pictures she has her own page on Facebook. Her page is called GrowSofiaGrow
 
Aw lovely! What a story of hope and encouragement! You have a real little fighter there :flower:
 
Wonderful news! She is gorgeous!
I have liked your facebook page :)
Feel free to add your story to our sticky thread, https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/premature-babies/1087691-then-now-our-preemies.html
 
Wow, what a fighter and gorgeous too...
 
What a miracle baby, and growing so well. I love the FB page.
 
Oh wow!! belated CONGRATULATIONS!! I think I remember you posting here a while back... My son was 1lb4oz, we got the same speech, 25% survival odds, handicapped, offered a termination blah blah. Well he just turned two and he's perfectly fine :thumbup:

I can't even remember the last time I saw a preemie smaller than mine on these boards - what a miracle she is!! I can't help but smile looking at her picture, remembering the hell you must have gone through too, to get to this point. Much love to her and your family :hugs:
 
Aw what a lovely little girl! Amazing story too what a year you must have had :)
