Kya Bree

Well, as some of you may know, I had a grand baby. Her name is Kya Bree. And she was born on New Years of 2008. She was premature. Which means she was born before her bue date. My daughter, her mother, Erica, was only 24 weeks and 5 days along. Which makes Kya's gestational age at birth to be about 6 months. She just barely made it. The doctors said that if she had been born a few days before she was she would not have made it. And even now that her chances weren't that great. But she's now 11 months old. She's still got her beautiful blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She's only 7 lbs 15 oz. So her prematurity is still having some effect on her. But, Dr. Zimmerman (Primary Pediatrician) is doing her best to try and find the problem. She eats like a cow! Haha she has grown alot since birth. She was born 1lb 9 1/2oz and 12 & 1/2" long. As of today, 11-25-2008, she is 7lb 15oz and 23 & 1/4". She stayed in the NICU (Neonatal Itensive care Unit) at Sacred Heart Hospital for about 3 months. She was due April 16th, 2008 and that was her expected date to leave the NICU. And she ended up getting out about the 13th or 14th of March. Anyways, here's some pictures from her birth to recently now.

My daughter went into premature labor with her twins and one was lost due to complications but we are very happy that she is doing well now and little Miss Kya Bree is doing great.
