When we first checked into the hospital (in Minneapolis) 1 1/2 weeks ago one of the nurses said it would be nice to make it a couple of days and it would be really nice to get to 26 weeks, but she said "26 weeks" with obvious skepticism in her voice. Well here we are!
There is going to be a 26 week celebration at the hospital for Melissa, Bea, Liz and me tonight with deep dish Chicago style pizza (delivered) and cupcakes. It should be really fun.
The last day has been more of the same good news for Melissa and Bea as they keep doing their thing in the hospital.
26 weeks is a much nicer milestone then 25 weeks. One of our nurses a week ago had a 1 lb 12 ounce baby at 26 weeks, which is roughly where we're at. We've heard from several people who have close friends who delivered at 24 weeks. Another nurse was in the NICU a few days ago and saw a sign that said something like "27 weeks old - born 4 weeks ago". You might have also heard about the baby in Florida who went home yesterday. She was born at 21 weeks 6 days at 10 ounces! They're calling it the youngest baby ever born. I found record of a couple lighter babies including one at 9 ounces. Bea is nearing a hefty 30 ounces so she's a sumo wrestler compared to those babies.
I need to get ready for some pizza.
