I'll keep you and Paul in my prayers. My sister is a preemie nurse - I'm amazed at how well the tiny ones do - & they eventually catch up to their peers! Hang in there!

Adding my Congratulations!! There is nothing more precious than a new baby and Paul sounds very special.

I will be praying for him.

 

[NurseKim]

Congratulations to you and your hubby on your 1st baby!
I am an RN in a Special Care Nursery, which is a step down unit from a NICU and it sounds like little Paul is holding his own! He may be small, but the small ones are the fighters.
If you ever need to talk, please PM or email me.
Sounds like you have a wonderful setup to be near your son. I wish we could provide a service like that for our moms.

I will also add a prayer for your baby. My co worker has a granddaughter that had a baby at 26 weeks last week and he was 1 lb. 14 oz. I hear he is also doing very well. I am so thankful for the modern medicine of these days.

Little Paul was just so excited to see his mommy and daddy that he decided he couldn't wait anymore! I had a niece do the same thing, but she held out for two weeks longer than he did ~ she was 8 weeks preemie. She was at a Children's Hospital, and was home within 4 weeks. She came home with a heart/apnea monitor that she had for about a month. My brother & sis-in-law were also able to stay at a place (like a Ronald McDonald House) right next to the hospital for a cheap price. That is so awesome for the parents of ill children. My niece was a bit bigger than Paul was ~ she was 4 lbs. 5 oz and 17" long ~ ~ she was the same exact size as Bitty Baby (American Girl Doll!) except she was skinnier than the doll!! She is now 2 1/2 and you would never know she is a preemie. She had goldenhar (? on name for sure) which is common in preemies, but hers was very very mild. All this meant with her is that she has a small spot on each eye that the color is not there ~ it looks like she has some sleep in her eye. It is not very visible, and most people don't even notice it. She has the vocabulary of a 4 year old and she is bigger than some kids her age!

Our family also has a friend that their baby was only 13 oz. when she was born. I am not sure how early she came ~ but she is now 9 years old and doing outstanding!

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as your Little Paulie is growing stronger and stronger each day. Be sure to keep up with yourself and get your needed rest so you can be strong for him. May peace be with you all!
