    Why were they born early? Brady's cord tore from the placenta. I don't know why Rian came early.

    How long was the hospital stay? Brady was thankfully fine and came home with us. Rian stayed for 8 days.

    Birth Weight and length? Brady was 6lbs 3 oz, Rian was 6 pounds 11oz, not sure of the length (Written down somewhere).

    Weight and length now? Brady is 32 inches and 27 lbs 11oz, Rian is over 15 pounds

    Brady was hospitalized for breathing problems at 11 months old. We've made some environmental changes and he seems to be okay now. Rian is doing well except for a lingering cough. He used to skip breaths and we had a couple of times where the sensor monitor went off, but he hasn't done that in atleast two months. Overall we've been really lucky and they are healthy boys.

    How old is your preemie now? 10 months
    How early were they born? 34.4 weeks
    Why were they born early? induced for both of our safety. My health was failing fast and I have blood clotting disorders and it was just getting very scary very fast for all involved. I had been on bedrest for a long time anyway and my water had been leaking for a while too.
    How long was the hospital stay? 7 days
    Birth Weight and length? 6 lbs 1 oz 18 inches (came home at 5 lbs 6 oz and held steady for a while lol)
    Weight and length now?15 lbs about 26 inches

    How are they doing? Do they have any problems due to being premature?She's doing pretty good now. She wasn't breathing when she was born, had born with RDS, Sepsis, and had to be on a ventilator but we haven't noticed any ill effects from all of that so far. She's just really small. She does have some tummy problems that we have to be careful with and that's about it.
