My son was 3 pounds 8 ounces, born in 1980
He didn’t need much, but was in intensive care nursery for a month
There was a 2 pounder in there that was really struggling.
Heartbreaking to see. So tiny
My daughter was born at 32 weeks, weighing 5 lbs. They careflighted her to another hospital (emergency c-section where we both almost died).
Seeing her for the first time with a breathing apparatus on her little face, tubes sticking out of her limbs and belly, nearly broke me.
We were so blessed she made it.
