Glad the meds are helping.

Three weeks ago, one of my friends delivered twins at 30 weeks and they are both doing amazingly well. The little girl even nursed successfully for the first time two days ago. The funny thing is that the girl never needed a vent and only oxygen for a day, but she was only 2.2, whereas the boy was 2.10 but on the vent for 2 days then oxygen for a week or two (can't remember the details.). Girl preemies do so well.

I hope Little Miss Impatient stays inside a little longer. PPT for the next few days and weeks.

I'm glad to see your update. The steroid shots make a huge difference.
My sweet little 4 yo neighbor who was playing in my yard today was born between 25-26 weeks. Those first few months were challenging but now he's as cute as can be & you wouldn't know he was a preemie. He's teaching my boy all about trucks & dirt.

That's so wonderful to hear! Keeping my fingers crossed that she decides to stay in where it's warm and cozy.

FWIW, the outcomes for babies born after 29 weeks are excellent. My cousins (twins) were born at 30 weeks, and they're now 12 years old and have no lingering effects from prematurity. The chances of escaping long-term effects at this gestation are very good.

thinking of you. Stay put baby girl!

P and PT's.

I work in peds and the NICU world and I think you all are going to be just fine, girls tend to do very well early.

BBB mojo coming your way.

Great update! Glad to hear baby girl stayed put long enough to get her second dose of steroids....and here's hoping she decides she wants to stay put even awhile longer! Keeping the P&PT coming your way.
