Well Steve ... even though you once said you'd kick my face in if we ever met in person, I'm happy for you. And give a big WTG to Mrs. Steve from me.

My preemie:

In February of 2005 my wife's water broke at 25 weeks and she spent the next 4 weeks in Akron General's Parental Unit.  Our third daughter Annika was born on March 4th 2005.  She weighed 2 pounds 11 ounces and was 14 inches long.  Annika spent the next 7 weeks in Akron Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.   Here she is intubated; she only needed it for a few hours.



Here she is 4 months later naping on my lap as I vulched a bunch of whiners in the CT.  Note that she's still hooked up to O2 and a heart monitor.



And here she is now at 21 months:



She's smart as a whip and often speaks in complete sentences.

She looks great!  Glad to hear she does well.   :)

Here's a pic of Brenna ... much the same NICU stuff.  You can tell how small she is, her entire hand fits on the end of my finger.

I thought it'd be on at 6 Mountain time :(  I'll continue waiting for the show...

Ooops was thinking Discovery channel, didn't read it carefully enough.  Only the upstairs TV gets Discovery health

It's on now.  

Steve looks and sounds normal; except he's talkin about his "swimmers" on national TV right now.

It's a good show so far.  Except they just showed where you lost Brent.  Even knowing that two won't make it didn't make it easy to watch.  

Your wife is amazing.  

Dr. Elliot rules.

I think that you will be happy with the show.

Magnesium sulfate is rough.  My wife was on it for a month, flat on her back, bed rest in the hospital.

29 weeks:  Dr. Elliot just said its time.
