it is really scary when you read that stuff, we had one low birth wieght bub and one barely in the normal range and I read a lot about developmental delay and both girls were quite delayed with all their weight and motor milestones.
With Mr W, DW had a lot of risk factors. We were prepared for the worst. We were told he could come any day after the 26th week. Every day after that week we exhaled a bit more.
We just hoped for a healthy kid.
He was still 5 weeks early and only 5 pounds but had an apgar of 9. He smiled at us the first week and it has been off to the races ever since.
At 2y8mos he makes up his own songs and does his own jazzy/rap riffs on the several dozen songs he knows. Just last night he did "Home on the Range." in presto and belted out a jazzy-rap version of "Real Gone."
