Then and Now!

this thread is amazing! i was in tears looking at all the progressions

my two were delivered at 34+1 due to twin 2 having placental sharing issues that then resulted in no growth from 32-34 weeks. born at 5lbs 13oz ( twin 1) and 4lbs 7oz (twin 2) here are my identical boys Caelan (1) and Connor (2):

Caelan 1 day old:

Someone mentioned this thread in another post and I thought it needed bumping. It is so inspirational seeing all the pictures of our LOs and how much they have come along. Here are some pics of my little man, now and when he was first born at 33+5 weeks:

These babies are wonderful. I wish I have my own pic to share, but camera phones and digital cams weren't invented yet during the time I was born.

I am also a preemie as well and my mum had to leave me every night in the hospital. Here I am now about to have my 2nd child. I am also a living proof that preemies can live a very normal and active life. Sending you all hugs.

what a wonderful idea!!

It's hard not to post a ton of pictures - they change so quickly! but I'll try limiting it to a few

Here is Vincent, born at 27 weeks weighing a whole 570 grams (1lb 4oz, the weight of a 23 weeker) due to severe IUGR

3 hours old - the gold heart is an inch across (27w)

7 days old (28w)
https://nova.polymtl.ca/~miadel/vincent/7.JPG

and a long 105 days later - the big day is finally here! leaving the hospital! getting dressed. He's 16 weeks old, 3 weeks corrected and weighs 3 kilos (6.6 lbs)

https://nova.polymtl.ca/~miadel/vincent/Vincenthome1.jpg

Here Vincent is 5.5 months, 2.5 corrected. He weighs 11 pounds - that's 10 times more baby than that first picture

I dont mind at all. If it wasnt for people like you wanting to be NNU nurses none of us would have our wonderful preemies
