We’re celebrating the one year anniversary of our son’s due date tomorrow. I printed out a few photos from birth to now, it’s amazing how far he has come. He was born 13 weeks premature, weighting just under 2 pounds. At his check up last week he was 19 pounds! He has obstructive sleep apnea and still requires oxygen during sleep. He has swallowing issues and is high risk for aspiration, but other than that he is catching right up! I am SO proud of my little man, we’ve worked very hard to be where we’re at today! 💖

Sounds like he’s catching up quick! 💜

He really is. When he was born we were given so many risks and possible outcomes. It was terrifying. My best friend had her baby at 26 weeks and he had multiple surgeries and spent 15 months in the NICU. He also still has a g-tube at 7 years old and has issues every cold and flu season. We are blessed, that’s for sure.

it took my 29 weeker almost 2 years to get to 19 pounds (he’s 3 1/2 and 27 pounds). I just can’t imagine going through any of that. I took the majority of the health hits when he was born. It’s amazing how strong they really are though. People shouldn’t underestimate them.

@kimberly_the-preemie-mom, it’s crazy how each baby is different too. My preemie is the wildest of our kids. Haha
