My twin boys, Dominick (Nickey)MacKenzie and Tristen Grey, were born at barely 34 weeks. They were 4lbs 3 oz and 5 lbs 4 oz. The only problems they had were learning to eat, keeping there temps regulated, and moderate jaundice. I feel so fortunate that what could have been much more severe wasn't. My boys came home after only 2 and a half weeks in the hospital. They will be a year old Sept. 27, 2001. It's nice to find a site with others' stories to support, inspire, and uplift.

My son was born at 30 weeks. He has proven to beat all odds and become a really strong, chubby young man. He only has one problem, which he will grow out of, he has reflux. Besides that he is just as healthy as a fullterm baby!
