  I am not the only one on this board who has held their baby/babies. I just didn't want one of the others to have the same reaction and felt like it needed a warning.
  
  Obviously I should have known based on the headline and comments.

  I didn't know. I was thinking it was a story of courage and birth after loss or adoption after loss. To me, too soon= too soon. As in before it was viable. Not "early" or "sooner than we expected" It was good of you to put the warning for the others. I'm sad you had to read that without knowing.

  It's impossible not to be happy for these parents (even though they picked a ridiculous name for their child) and while I can appreciate the hope it gives other parents out there, it's just not reality.
  
  The reality of life with a 25 weeker is often chronic lung disease, sometimes tracheostomy, shunts to drain cerebral spinal fluid, stroke, vision problems, profound learning disabilities, sensory issues, just to name a few. I'd like to see someone make a video based on reality, not just the exception.

  I wanted to apologize if posting this caused anyone heartache (and to curse my name).  I really didn't mean for that to happen.  In hindsight, I should have posted it with a warning.

  It isn't your fault. The title was pretty obvious. I knew what I was opening, but as soon as the mom started crying while holding her baby for the first time, I lost it. I just didn't realize how emotional it would be. I was already having a sad night and it just gave me ammunition to start the tears.
