Amazing! My kids almost broke records at the hospital they were born. Although not this small these images are all too familiar. Mine were born at 25 wks, weighing 1.6 and 1.9.Both fine today at 6 years old.They have minor cp on a scale of one to ten its less than a one and one had heart surgery first two days of his life. Scariest day of my life and an agonizing three months watching my kids on machines. Very greatful for modern technology,they say ten years ago this would not of been possible.

My son was born at 26 weeks and it was not easy at all, the stress of worrying what may happen and things that did happen resulted in me losing some of my hair. Luckily it grew back but yes it's hard. You just want to pick them up and protect but you can't.
