Chat Tonya & le

[Guest guest]

Hey there!

I had a great time meeting you also le, the kids were just

too cute together!

Olivia was a preemie too, 29 weeks, 1 lb, 11oz, down to 1 lb, 7oz.

13.5 " . How big was Coby when he was born? I didn't realize how

small he was to start with!

Tonya,

How long was Aubrey in hospital when she was born? Just curious,

it's not often that I get to chat with other parents of preemies

that were so early.

Leah, mom to 9 years and Olivia 4 years (5 next month),

19lbs, 33 " , RSS, OI, lots of meds
