Baby came 5 weeks early!

And it’s a girl!!! (We waited for birth day to find out the sex of our baby)

We had chosen the name [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] ([name_u]Jean[/name_u] is a family name) as our girl name during pregnancy and it suites her just perfectly. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] was born 5 weeks early and weighed in at a whopping 3lbs 10oz, which earned her a ticket to the NICU. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like her botanical namesake our [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] has been growing, growing, growing! She is healthy and thriving despite her early start. We are so in love!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! Very sweet.

Oh my goodness, 3lb 10oz is so tiny, even for a 35 weeker! Sending lots of positive vibes your way for a short stay in the NICU and a quick return home! [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is a very sweet name, congrats!

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is lovely! Sending lots of hugs to you and your little one - may she be able to go home soon!

Congratulations! [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] grow healthier and stronger each day!

Congrats to you on the safe arrival of your early bird, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. I hope she continues to do well.

Congratulations, hopefully she’ll continue to grow each and every day - I love the sentiment behind her name.
