How many people have had preemies?

What did they weigh at birth? How much did they weigh when you brought them home from the NICU?

My twins were 2lbs 7oz & 3lbs 10oz at birth and 4lbs 6oz & 4lbs 2oz when I took them home.

Update:

Thats great that he is doing well now. My daughter also had a hole in her heart and brain bleeds. She was in the NICU for 3 months and my son was there fo 5 weeks. They are both doing pretty good now although they have some delays and my daughter is blind.

    I just had twin boys in March. 9 weeks early due to Twin to Twin Transfusion. 2lbs 6oz and 3lbs 1oz. In the NICU for a month and sorry to report but we lost twin A (Chase) at 3 weeks old. Twin B (Chance) came home the week after Chase passed away he was 4lbs 5oz. Came home a month before he was due in May.

    my friend had a preemie. he was 1# 8 ounces at birth... he looked like a tiny puppy... he spent 6 months there... he kept having seizures and brain bleeds. he went home when he weighed in at roughly 5 pounds. HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: the hole in his heart is gone (he's 4 now) and he has NO SIGNS of developemental delays or retardation of ANY KIND. he is ADHD but that is treatable
