I have not had children so no help on the question. but my twin and I were born really early and were 3 lbs 2 oz and 3 lbs 3 oz. We ended up just fine, grew up, were stupid smart and sister just graduated with a phd. The little ones can bounce back just fine! :)

Congrats and good luck!

Yay! My girl was 3 lbs 3 oz. :) Dad will be happy to hear about the PhD since he's planning on getting his. He's all concerned about her intellect, heh.

Well, remind him there are many different ways to be smart. Even if she doesn't turn out to be PhD smart, she'll still have things she'll excel at and amaze you with.

Haha, naturally. ;) I am by no means PhD smart and there's still something he likes about me!

This is very true. I know plenty of people with PhDs that I wouldnt let wipe my butt and many with only high school diplomas that I would trust with my life.

I just know that with preemies there is always worries about cognitive development so I wanted to offer a personal experience.

Course, we are also both over 5 foot 6 so also no problems with physical development either, though I could wish to be a little more petite so i could wear higher heals and not tower over the husband heheh

Oh, I didn't take it like that at all! I understand what you meant, and I am glad to hear you both turned out so well.
