Congratulations Gramma! Best wishes to everyone. Nothing lifts the spirit like a new baby. Hugs and prayers to all of you. I was born 3 months premature and weighted 2lbs 7 oz. that was 60 yrs ago. Health care has come a long way since then,

CONGRATS Grammalady! Just curious though, was this little man named after William (Bill) Elliott, the race car driver?  I know you may not feel good personally, but now you have a precious grandchild to keep your thoughts on watching him grow!  God Bless and again, congratulations!!!

Congratulations! 

My niece was also born early - 7 weeks to be exact.  She was not that small, weighing in at almost 4 lbs. but she was 21 inches long!  She was all skinny arms and legs.  Now, four and a half years later, you'd never know she was a preemie except for the little scar that she has on her neck from the feeding tube.
