She wasn't premmie, though- she was four days overdue, and a comparatively whopping 3.575kg! They couldn't find clothes to fit her in the NICU. Lol. I agree, though- premmie babies have so much more to overcome, and they are just amazing.
Don't know if anyone else saw the girl on American Idol tonight who was born at 32 weeks, weighing only 2lb, and is now 16 years old, gorgeous, and has a spectacular singing voice to boot? Brought a tear to my eye
Sorry Claire - I always associate babies in NICU as being prem, (as my daughter was quite prem), sorry, force of habit .
What I mean to say that it is totally inspiring to see kids born with difficulties, who go through such a hard time to get well in NICU type places, end up blossoming and beating the odds the medical profession sometimes give them. That extends to all kids / babies, not just the premmies.
