Jack has his ups and downs, but one day soon he'll be home with us :)<br /><br />Susan—Thank you for the advice. I'm so interested to hear from other micro preemie moms, so I would love to hear what you have to say about your experience. I'm off to check out your links now. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your story!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875843561389199651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245748262991217460.post-44365299337898267792010-01-20T12:24:40.371-06:002010-01-20T12:24:40.371-06:00Chris - so glad to hear the update.

I haven't stopped by on your blog in a while (It's Susan, Kenn's wife from <a href="http://theanimalstore.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Animal Store</a> in Lincolnwood.<br /><br />First, congratulations! Your Jack is just beautiful. I'm sure you don't know this, but our twins were born at 24 weeks. They spent 5 months in the hospital and a year on oxygen at home. I can't even believe this as I type it, but they just turned 18 years old (in November) and will be graduating (on time) from high school in June.<br /><br />I've spent a lot of time mentoring moms of preemies and am happy to be a resource for you. If you want to see what 24 weekers look like at 18, here's one of my <a href="http://2kop.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-not-easy-being-green.html" rel="nofollow">blog posts</a> with a recent picture (the preemies are the boy and girl in the back). And here is a post I wrote about them for the <a href="http://svmomblog.typepad.com/chicago_moms/2008/11/golden-birthday.html" rel="nofollow">Chicago Moms Blog</a> in honor of their 17th birthday.<br /><br />Best of luck to you. The best advice I got before they came home from the hospital was to sleep as much as you can, because he will still have the habits of a newborn when he gets home, which means not much sleep for you.Susan Bearmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991968368214219371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245748262991217460.post-61432068579967402092010-01-18T14:35:02.423-06:002010-01-18T14:35:02.423-06:00Oh how lovely to have an update and to hear that y...Oh how lovely to have an update and to hear that you are well (albeit tackling so much on so many fronts, which just has me in awe) and that baby Jack is thriving - what a sweetie he is!!!
