Aweee he is so tiny.. Prayers being sent for Mom & Baby & Brandon..

From here as well. I hope that some day, that tiny little foot will be big, strong, going off to kindergarten, riding a bicycle and doing all kinds of big boy things.

Hey, I started out approx 2 pounds, and that was eons ago before they knew what they do today! The fact that Layton is breathing on his own already is awesome news! I think I read that the lungs are the last organ to develop, so the widdle guy is a fighter for sure! I'm thrilled that Brandon and Jessica are together, they sound perfect for each other. Praying that everything continues to go well!

I'm so glad to hear he is doing so well. these days the success rate for premies born up to three months early is extremely high. These NICU's have really stepped up to the plate in caring for these tiny tiny little ones.

When Hannah was in the NICU there was a little boy next to her who was born at 26 weeks (I think it was 26 weeks... might have been 23 though) and he too started breathing on his own after only a day or two. He did have to stay in the NICU for 43 days though. he had to be able to successfully take in a certain amount of breastmilk on his own before he could go home and I think he might have had a weight limit he had to hit but can't remember.

he actually ended up going home BEFORE his actual due date lol.

Looking forward to more updates and pics.
