This is Alexandra, a tiny tiny baby.
When her mum, Jen, was pregnant with her doctors noticed she had a condition called circumvallate placenta. This is where the placenta implants irregularly and takes up more than half of the space in the fetal sac and obstructs the growth of the baby.
Jen was induced at 37 weeks and at birth Alexandra was 47 centimetres long.
Jen, in those days of tiny babyness, celebrated her daughter’s arrival by sharing photos of her on placed against everyday objects.
Like a bag of Doritos.
These days, Alexandra is a healthy, happy, growing baby. She’s pulling to stand up and will turn one soon.

The pics are very cute. My twin girls were 27 weeks and tiny too! I remember a relative found 00000 onesies for them when they came home at three months and they were too big! They used to curl up together in the same rocker chair like peas in a pod.
