Baby Julia


Julia wearing her daddy's ring as a bracelet

Last week my brother and his wife had their 5th daughter! She was born at just 23 weeks gestation. She weighed 1lb and 4oz and almost 12 inches long. She is doing Remarkable well for one born so early. So far she has not had any bleeding in the brain which is a wonderful thing. She has had a few lung issues, but they are stable now. We are praying each day that things will continue to go well for her. She is so tiny and they say she is a fighter already! (she has to be as a member of her family!) :)
We love her already and know she will be a blessing for all our family. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers for she and her family!

Oh wow! I hope you will keep us updated! Or do they have a blog? I have been following a baby boy that was born at I think the same, 23 weeks and he was barely a pound. He he is now 6 months old and is over 8 pounds and went home with his family a couple days ago!! These babies are miracles!!!! I will be praying for baby Julia!

OMGoodness! She is so tiny! We wish them all the best. I'm glad they have a family like yours to rally with them. Keep us posted on her progress!
