You are in my thoughts

My son was born at 34 weeks after numerous rounds of preterm labour and hospital stays. At 5 lbs 3 oz he was one of the bigger babies in the NICU but seemed so very small to me. I sincerely hope you are able to go as far as possible, every day makes them stronger. If you do have him early and he spends time in NICU I have these words of advice, Learn as much as you can, ask the dr's and nurses anything that pops into your head. Knowledge is a blessing and comfort in the sterile and often creepy world of intensive care. Touch your son as much as you can, they do so well knowing mommy and daddy are there and let yourself feel all the emotions. I bottled mine up and they flooded out at the worst times.

Best of luck to you and your family.
