Hey. I didn't see it but I'm reminded...my twins were born 8 weeks early and they were the size of little dolls. Even the Mothercare prem outfits didn't fit. They were just under 4llb's each. They are now strapping 20 year olds 🥰

My great-nephew was born at 24 weeks gestation. He's an amazing young man but it was such a touch and go situation when he was born nineteen years ago. The medical staff are so dedicated.
