[birds16ful]

Landon is growing pretty heathy. My nephew dog name is Landon too. Landon is 4 years old.

[mercedesminx]

im so scared of going into preterm labor. I'm 29 weeks and a few days he weighs 3lbs inside my womb.. premature birth seems frightening, and very sad.. but I'm glad landon is doing well.

[kellimr]

Thank you! He is a beautiful boy

[mylovesofmylife]

OMG THOSE EYES GORGEOUS!

[kellimr]

Thank you.....he is a beautiful little guy!

[kellimr]

Thank you. Yes, it's all about "baby steps" in this fight, every small victory is HUGE when it comes to our babies!

[babygirlboo013025]

[fairybabe07]

This touched me so much! It just goes to show the miracle of God! I look at my little girl and thank god everyday that she is healthy... such a little fighter.. god bless you and your family!

[kellimr]

Thank you & glad you liked the video. Landon is a true miracle. He's a happy healthy 2 year old now. All the best to you and your family as well

[littlehammertile]

poor sweet little angel, he went through so much, but he made it and it shows what a strong little guy he is, even though he was born so small. god bless him

[Ozuisko]

Congratulations! and thank you for sharing this with us. Our twins were in the incubator but just for two weeks. Landon is a winner!!!!

[kellimr]

Thank you for your comment! Yes, he is amazing. He is 1 1/2 now, walking all over the place and a very happy baby! I'm sure it was hard to have your twins in the Hospital as well. It's hard on any parent who can't take their child home from the Hospital. Take care!

[Pondarama]

Oops - hit send without checking. fight for health care for all. You know from experience how important having health care was in saving your baby. i could not save mine! search "spoiling for a fight? Show me what you got!"

[Pondarama]

What a beautiful story. Hold on for dear life. my sory is not as happy but I know a mother's love and heart break too.

[kellimr]

[andromeda5862]

[kellimr]

Thank you so much...he truly is our miracle!

[mummycharmzy]

he is a miracle child, you have a fighter there and a gorgeous one at that. I'm so teary from watching this! You must be oh so proud of him!

Tomorrow my 31 weeker starts SCHOOL, I'm having a day of reflection today.

I love the '1kg club' award, thats gorgeous :)

[kellimr]

Thank you so much! Yes I believe these 'preemies' have a little "extra" fight in them, they are very strong to endure entering this World so early.

Congratulations on your preemie starting School...for some of us we didn't know if we would see that moment.

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[YoungWisdom1701]

Hey this is totally awesome. Both your kids are really beautiful. My younger cousin Katie was also born at around 24 weeks. She is 14 years old now, and you would never know it. God bless you and your family.

[kellimr]

Thank you for watching.The boys are wonderful and Landon is quite the fighter! He is doing well today and starting to walk! It is nice to hear success stories like your cousin ~ take care...

[mommy2matty]

What a wonderful video. You truly have a miracle, and I'm sure you are so very proud of your little boy. I am the mother of a micropreemie also, my son was born at 24 weeks 3 days weighing 1 pound 8 ounces, and 13 inches long. He is now 14 months old and is doing much better than he was ever expected to. My heart goes out to you and your family for the long journey you have went through, and I hope the road ahead is full of laughter and joy.

[kellimr]

Thank you! It sounds like our boys were quite close in age, weight, etc. Landon is just over 14 months as well and doing better than anyone thought he would. Congratulations to you as well for coming out of this difficult journey we have all faced. I truly believe we were given these children because a higher power knew we would be able to handle it. Good luck to you as well and enjoy every moment you have with your child.

[hillary0218]

This video is so awesome. My sister is pregnant now so I was just watching some videos on babies and came across yours. It really touched me. I felt as if I watched him climb mountains, he was so strong and so were you and your family. He truly is a miracle. That's awesome.

[kellimr]

Thank you so much! Yes our youngest Landon is truly a miracle. We were very fortunate that he fought through and is doing very well today. Thank you for your nice comment.

[kaysun123]

Its so wonderful that he pulled through!

[FULLOFFAITH732]

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY THE ANGELS ALWAYS HAVE THERE WINGS SPREAD OVER YOUR BOYS. LOVE AND PRAYS Melissa

[monkeylover3333]

[kellimr]

Still not sure why he came early...strange, especially because my first son was a 41 weeker! Thanks for the comment....he is a sweetheart!

[debatingsquirt]

Wonderful video! Both your boys are just beautiful!! Hope all is well with them both and the rest of your family!! :)

MY little one was born at 1 lb 2oz. He wae so perfect, but just too small for this world. Your story is touching and gives me hope that their are little ones can make it through. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and your family. Your son is truly a miracle and absolutly beautiful.

[kellimr]

Thank you so much for your comment. I am so sorry to hear about your son. We had a rough go for many months but are blessed that he turned out as well as he did. Thank you again....

[tridj]

Our miracle was born at 1 lb. 8 oz. He is 7 months now and weighs in at 12 lbs. Glad to see your son is doing so well!

[kellimr]

Yes...they are miracles aren't they. So you know exactly what we went through. Glad to hear your boy is doing great! Our boy Landon is 11 months now and over 17lbs. Hard to believe he will be one next month! We are so blessed to have him!

[NoVPops]

I'm glad to see other's Preemies coming out of the mess of the hospital. You and your family are blessed, he's a lovely little boy and I know how hard a struggle it was for you. My son was born at 27 weeks and had a fight on his hands as well (I invite you to come see Robert's Journey as well =) ) How long was Landon's stay in hospital?

[kellimr]

Hello....thank you for the comments on Landon's Video. He spent 130days in the Hospital. I am sure your son's journey was difficult as well. Our babies are very strong and we are so blessed to have them! I will check out Robert's Journey for sure!

[egypteyez]
