Unfortunately she was only 25 weeks into the fetal process and therefore about 3 months early.

She came to us weighing 1 pound 14 ounces, and is 13 inches tall.

Momma Bear is doing great physically. and all things considered tender and tiny j8earette jr is fighting like a warrior, and frankly seems to be thriving.

This is my first chance in the last 48 hours to get away from the NICU, sit alone, and ball my eyes out at the thought of the most precious of gifts just bestowed on us.

We love you so much sweet heart. Keep up the fight, we're with you all the way!

Best,

-bear

Edit...so as not to bump this thread with a response...thanks all for your kind words. We've had a set back or three...Chronic Lung Disease, Patent Ductis Arteriosus, general agitation resulting in self extubation, etc...but all in all she continues to progress. My little warrior

I'm Keeping the faith and brave front....mostly for the missus, and somewhat to keep me sane. Talk about absolutely ZERO control of things. I have never felt so useless in my life.
