My thoughts are with you. My daughter was born Febuary 2nd 2003, she was 12 weeks early. No warning my wife just went into labor and they could not stop it, everything worked out fine but it was a scary time, trust the doctors and be strong for your wife. My daughter was 1lb 15oz. when she was born, they put a breathing tube in to help her for the first 24 hours, after that everthing went pretty smoothly, she was in hospital for many weeks, when we brought her home she was just over 4 pounds. She did not have any complications as a result of being born early and is doing great, she just started walking about a month ago.
