He just couldn't wait to get out, could he?   My daughter was also born a little early and caught us by surprise.  Emma was born 4 weeks early @ 4 lb, 17.5".  We brought her home 3 days later.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!!   

Sorry..I've been telling the family/friends who've been visiting all day.  


Welcome to the DMF..

"Maro Addison Adamec B___" .   (No, that's not "bacon" Bacon..it's my last name).  
Born 6/1/11  His expected date was 7/23.  Just a few weeks early!!  
4lbs 2oz
18.5" long

Your last name is Baggins? 

I thought we dispelled the rumor that you weren't a hobbit... 





Seriously, though... Congrats to the three of you! 





/ We all know that the "B" does in fact mean Bacon
// And that SacDuc now wears the hobbit name proudly...

Notice the Santa Barbara Shire comment in DIMBY!     I really think they should install round doors in their place!   


Goat..awesome you got to take her home so early!

Maro will be in NICU for 3-6 weeks.  Good in a way since we aren't moving for 2 more weeks.  I guess the plan of having a house and nursery in place isn't going to work like we totally expected.  Oh well..we'll make it anyway!

Then the dogs would have to duck their heads to get in...! 

Dude, I was born 9 weeks early.  I weighed 3lbs. 12oz. and went down to 3lbs. 8oz. in a matter of hours.  That was 37 years ago.  Technology back then was nothing compared to what it is now.  Maro will be home with you and Amy before you know it!   

Now, as someone mentioned, time to find you a house out here... 

[psycledelic]

Congrats IZ (& Mrs. IZ).  

3-6 weeks will go by in no time.  Use those couple of weeks to sleep at night.  Might not have a chance once Maro gets home.

I remember you said that B!     Mrs. IZ's coworker was 2 lbs when he was born.  He looks like Baby Huey now at 6'4" 220!

I'm going to use this time to move, sleep and get everything we need to take care of him.  We're almost there.  His arrival home can't come quick enough!!

Totally love baby IZ's (Maro A A B) name!

I love round doors, when we watched the movie I said so and Carl just   at me...

My parents first read the Hobbit to me when I was 5 or 6!

I was 3 weeks early, just over 4lbs and I broke my incubator because I was trying to roll around, tubble so I was told, this was in ancient times...sure technology is better...LOL

Good luck in your move, Maro will be home with you guys soon!

Can't wait for things to calm down, Amy to recover, Maro to get bigger and stronger...and you and your family visit Santa Barbara Shire  

We are thrilled for you guys!

Funny..you'll be making those round-door eyes at Sac as soon as The Hobbit movies come out in 2012 & 2013!

  fixed my post, sorry. 
Got it, Maro with out the "ee"   

It was Lord of the Rings 

[RAT900]

Beautiful Baby!! 

Keep those little lungs developing!!!

[Adamm0621]

Both my brother and I were way early... he more so than I.  I was born at 3 lbs 6 oz, and he was 2 lbs 4 oz.  I had clubbed feet, and he had a smattering of dysfunctions, i.e. under developed lungs, needed open heart surgery at three days old, died a few times on the table... my poor parents.  They straightened my legs and he fought through everything.  Now, we're both fully functioning adults (I'm 25 and he's 28) without any medical issues.

Being a father myself now, it's amazing how resilient little ones are.  Everything will be fine.  Enjoy every second you have with little Maro, they grow up so quickly...

Congratulations Mr and Mrs IZ  

Your pictures of Maro brought back memories of the arrival of our first son.  He was eight weeks early and weighed 4lbs and needed a little support to begin with.  We brought him home after four weeks.  He's 15 now, a big strong soccer player who can out arm wrestle his ol' Dad  .  But I do remember when he looked just like Maro looks now .  A few weeks early is very manageable these days and you'll all be home together before you know it.
