I think the goal should be to have a healthy baby, not to have one that is tiny because they are so much cuter and easier to love.  |
My sister in law has had severe health problems all her life because she was born at 25 weeks gestation. As someone who has had to care for her in the past, I do not love her any less for her afflictions, but I get genuinely concerned at people cooing over the supposed superior cuteness of premies
