How tiny is Aleah??

I received the measurments for Aleah today! She was a whopping 3 lbs 14 oz at 2 days old! She is 17.3 inches long. I knew when I saw her she was tiny, but oh my! Please keep her in your prayers that she gains some weight and stays healthy. They said she is not preemie just small.
I know this is the right baby for us, I knew the minute I saw her, but it is still scary that she is so little.
Thanks
Lisa

Our son was only 4lbs. at 10 days old. Cole turned 2 this past April and he was in the 50% for height and weight,which was a great jump from 20% at his first year dr. visit.

During his first year in Guatemala he made great strides in gaining weight. I credit part of his growth to the wonderful care of his foster family.

I say a pray for your daughter.

Here is Anna's picture at 8 days and 4.2lbs. She was only 16 inches so your little Aleah is taller than her. We were told her head circumference was 31.2 cms. I could not believe my eyes at her one month picture at 7.13 lbs. It was amazing.
