Photos of Sweet Irelynn Mae

Awww....my wifi would not let the photos load yesterday so had to wait to see them. What a sweety! Aren't premie babies amazing? perfect in all ways but just tiny. I bet the family is a bit worried but I worked in a children's hospital for many years and most do just fine!

My Mom, who was born in 1917 (long ago deceased of course) was just 3 pounds at birth, delivered by a midwife at home (she was the 11th of 12 kids) and kept alive in a drawer by the fire with warm bricks wrapped in blankets to keep her temperature up. Haven't we come a long way!?
