Born Jan 21, 2008 (3 1/2 months premature). Weight: 1 lb. 8 oz, Length: 12" (a box of Kleenexes would make a nice bed). He doesn't have his outer layer of skin yet - that's why he looks so red.
Congratulations! I am sure you are overwhelemed with emotions right now, I just wanted to pass along my sister Kendra's info and number. My niece Marley was born at 21 weeks. She is about to celebrate her 1st birthday on Feb 13th. It is amazing how resilient preemiees are. Marley is small in size but definately not in personality. She is a firecracker! Kendra was able to participate in Kangaroo Therapy. For 15 minutes every couple of hours they would lay Marley on Kendra's bare chest and cover them with a heating blanket. Marley could hear her moms heart, feel her warm skin. Kendra felt this oppertunity allowed her to bond with Marley. Kendra would love to talk with you, please call her at 801-556-6941. Good luck with the up coming tests, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Lots of love, Chris, Nikki Harris and the Girls
