Aww, I’ve always wanted to see her son. He’s so cute and all that hair, my mother would have a field day braiding that up.

It’s great to finally see him!

Wow, it’s great he is doing good. It is odd though…b/c I had my son at 25 weeks on April 22, 2005. Wow, what a coincidence. My little boy weighed 1 lb. 8 oz. and was 12 in. long.

I had a baby at 27 weeks and she weighed only 13 ounces. She is a little over a year old now. She spent 5.5 months in the hospital so I can totally relate to Ms. Shepherd’s experience. Our baby is thriving and doing great. The one thing you take from an experience like this is not to sweat the small stuff. It really does change your perspective. I am glad to hear things are going well for her and her baby.

As an NICU nurse, it’s nice to see a baby born at 25 weeks doing so well. A lot of times, they end up with the “preemie look”, which he doesn’t seem to have.

Congrats to Sherri for keeping strong during such a hard time (and still breastfeeding!!).

Love her on the View and I am really happy to see her little boy has come so far. Infertility can have a really bad affect on a marriage, but her ex-husband is a huge loser for cheating on her while their son was so sick. What a horrible thing to do your suffering wife. Adding insult to injury, she has to pay him allimony and gave him their house! I hope she takes Star’s place and they pay her a lot of money so she can buy herself an even bigger house!!

Glad to hear he is doing so well.

I wish her the best. I am sure finding out her husband was cheating had to be devastating.

Sherri has been great the times I have seen her on the View and would make a great co-host. That would be the loudest table yet!

My family has had a similar struggle. I have two nephews that were born in the 26th week. Both weighed a little over a pound at birth. Both were in the NICU for more then 2 months. We weren’t sure if they’d survive. Even though they did the one baby has had many obstacles to overcome.

It was determined that my nephew has a mild case of cerebral palsy and blindness due to his early birth. He has to wear glasses (although he never keeps them on) and he has to wear a patch for 2 hours over his good eye to strengthen the weaker eye. He also will never be able to drive or do other things that most people can do. He also wears a brace on his arm to make sure that his hand doesn’t clench up (kids with CP often make their hands into tight fist). He is going to be two yrs old soon and we just got him to sit up on his own without help. He gets physical therapy 3x a week and also works with an eye therapist. He’s been sick alot too since being home. He just got out of the hospital for severe pneumonia where he spent 5 days in the hospital. He’s a tough little guy. He’s got big obstacles to overcome but I have no doubt that he’ll keep fighting. He’s are little miracle.

I wish Sherri the best with her little guy. These kids are tougher then anybody.

He looks great! What a cutie. I like how she’s so open about everything. Best of luck to them.

However, his harness needs to be tightened while riding in his carseat. It looks too loose.

“she may replace Star Jones as the black co-host…”

Oh Sarah. Bad, choice of words.

It is awkward to read; as if The View needs to fill some sort of twisted racial quota.

He is such a cutie!
