I just saw that you had answered the question about the infected placenta already.  He is absolutely beautiful and strong.  Love that he is getting a reputation for being a fighter - that will serve him well being so...

Congratulations!  He and your family are in our thoughts, and I am so glad he is doing so well to be as early as he is.  So did the infected placenta bring on your early labor?  I had never heard of an infected...
