Congratulations on the little cupcake! (Would that be a mini-muffin?)

It is amazing. I remember when a kilogram was considered the line. Any child smaller then that didn't have a chance.

BTW from other articles I have learned that they were told that she had four, not six egg ripening and that there was less then a one percent chance that all four would "take".

Thanks, something like that;-) I have had hypertension with this pregnancy, so the closer I get to viability, the happier I get and it is nice to know we are a short couple of weeks away from that point, although I hope, of course, we go much further(good chance, I had hypertension, although later, with my 1st and delivered her at 38 weeks and my son I did not have hypert and was induced at 37 weeks).
I know, I read the article and noticed that. Sounds like they made a decision based on incomplete information and then were probably encouraged that it was not likely that all 4 would fertilize. They made a responsible decision based on the information they had at the time.
