Reply to comment by HamsterSweets in TIFU by sending my friend a condolence message about her Dad dying by damndarling

That is so scary!

I feel so fortunate I was able to get as far along as I was, and that he was 5lbs at birth. We had very few problems, but it was scary to me how tiny he was. Preemie clothes were huge on him.

I’ve said the same about never doing it again. Luckily we had also agreed on two, and already had one. We are done.

I'm glad it worked out! You never expect something like that to happen. And our first had been a totally smooth experience.

I always looked at the positives after he was born and sent to NICU. He was/is alive, he did great (though it took him a while to get the hang of feeding). And his diapers in the beginning were so little! They told me to keep a couple (of the 2nd size he wore; I never got a chance to ask about keeping the first size) and I love showing teeny tiny diaper to people. It's the size of my hand when fully unfolded.
