Lyla Hope Longhurst

Lyla Hope Longhurst

April 6

5 lbs 1 oz

17.5 inches


We made it to 34 weeks! It would have been nice to make it a bit longer but we are SO happy that Lyla is safely here. She will be in the NICU for awhile and hopefully the next few days will give us more of an idea of how long. We've been told to expect anywhere from 2-6 weeks. I wish it would be one but will plan on six weeks... although so far she is doing great! A big thank you to everyone that has helped us with our kids, brought us meals, and prayed for us. We'll keep you updated!

Congrats on making it that far! 5lbs 1oz is a great accomplishment for a 34-weeker! Welcome to the NICU. I hope they are good to you and to little Lyla. It can be such a rollercoaster, but I have seen that you are amazing! Best wishes from a mom who had two kids in the NICU (at 34.5wks) and if you ever need support, just say!
