Best looking preemie! Ever!

[jgk]

I was greatly relieved that the missing baby story was not dragged out for weeks, or even months! The baby is really darling! But a preemie????? Give me a break. Doesn't even look like a newborn. In my opinion.

 

[Soaphead]

SO glad the little guy is okay. I couldn't stand seeing him all by himself crying :(

 

[Sparkster]

That baby is super cute! I'm willing to accept the size of the baby since tv shows can't exactly use some tiny 4-5 lb baby onset. The babies they're using are probably 6 weeks old already but maybe were small-ish at birth so perhaps they are not too much bigger than an average to large newborn at this point, maybe 8-10 lbs. I think using a real baby made the scenes have much more impact than if they had used a smaller doll or whatever.

 

[Just Samantha]

I was going to say the same thing. They can't use real preemies. And the casting call was for preemie twins, which means they'd been have preemies at birth, but were smaller than a full term baby at 6-8-10 weeks old.

I don't care if he is the largest preemie that ever lived. I just love this little guy. When he was crying all alone in the motel room I just wanted to go scoop him up and hug him.

I am also glad they did not drag out the story with Abby looking for her baby. It was chilling when you heard someone enter that motel room today with the baby and we didn't know who it was that found him. Luckily they cleared it up by the end of the show by having JJ and Chad deliver the baby to Abby at the hospital.

 

[Just Samantha]

Under the last writers, the person who walked into the motel room would've taken the baby and Abby wouldn't have gotten him back until he was a toddler.

So true JS and I was afraid of that same thing this time.

 

[TamiBelle]

Oh that baby is beautiful. Gosh, I just want to reach in the TV and rock him to sleep or just sit and hold him for hours and talk to him.

 

[Just Samantha]

Days does hire some beautiful babies. The twins who play Tate are also beautiful; as are the twins who play Arianna.

Yep that is one good looking preemie with jaundice for sure!!

 

[Just Samantha]

We don't know if he really had jaundice or if midwife Wendy just said that to try and get help for Abby.

 

[oldsoapie]

Abby told Chad today that "they" said the jaundice should go away soon. I assume she's was talking about the doctors.

 

[Just Samantha]

Yes, we now know he really did have jaundice. But up until today, we didn't know if midwife Wendy was just saying that.

 

[Poirot]

I just hope someone fed that poor starving baby.

 

[jgk]

At least today they showed the baby with his eyes crossed for an instant, which is not unusual for an infant too young to focus.

 

[oldsoapie]

I just hope someone fed that poor starving baby.

And also changed his diaper.....poor baby.:(

 

[TamiBelle]

JS, I agree the children and babies on this show have always been beautiful.

 

[SarahBeth]

And also changed his diaper.....poor baby.:(

Ben didn't expect Abby to go into labor when he dragged her away with zero planning. Was there even a diaper available until the baby was found?

 

[oldsoapie]

I was hoping maybe Wendy the midwife brought a few.

 

[SarahBeth]

I seriously don't believe she would have. She went to check on a pregnant woman who in any normal circumstance would have gone to the hospital when the midwife stated that the baby needed a doctor available immediately upon it's birth.
