     >> 
     >> 1)  When she comes home, at about 4-5 lbs., will I need preemie 
     diapers
     >> (disposable), how many and for how long? 
     Nicholas (31 weeker, born at 4lbs., 6 oz) never wore premie diapers, 
     as a matter of fact, not many babies in our NICU did, the nurses 
     showed us how to fold the top of the diaper in and down and it was 
     fine (even in the legs) to just get NEWBORN size huggies.
     
     > 2)  The nurses have told me not to buy too many preemie clothes 
     because >> she'll grow to newborn size very quickly.  What will I need 
     and how many >> pounds will she have to be before she can begin to 
     wear newborn clothes?
     
     Nicholas never wore premie size and he was pretty small, but I had him 
     in newborn t-shirts and onesies and let me tell you, he grew sooooooo 
     quick.  Make sure you keep trying the outfits from day to day, because 
     I went a few days without trying them and some are too small!!!!! 
     
     Good luck!!!!!
