JUSTINE and LAUREN

I felt compelled to do a "comparison" blog album of my twin baby granddaughters who were born 11 weeks early on May 16, 2005. The fact that in today's world a tiny baby like Lauren Ann, who was born weighing 1 lb 13 oz and dropped a few ounces to 1 lb 9 oz, can still thrive and grow into a beautiful bouncing baby girl, normal in every way, is nothing short of astounding! Lauren's twin sister, Justine Marie, was an equally amazing story. Justine weighed 2 lb 9 oz at birth, dropping a few ounces also. She, however, gained weight almost immediately and continued to grow to 13 lb 5 oz on November 2, 2005, a mere 5 1/2 months later.
