The Saga of Micro Girl





Her name is Micro Girl.  Why Micro, Micro means small, she is not that tiny if we look at the photo. 



On January 1, 2026, Aurelia gave birth to three babies while her due date was January 3, they were premature.  



A day later, there were 2 left.  One baby did not make it.



A week later, there was one.   Ironically the sole baby was the smallest of the three.  Lots of assisted nursing.   

 


At 22 days old, the sole baby looked like a one-week-old, not even an oz.



No one expected the premie to survive but this is the little one at 26 days old.  



The little one is so tiny but it made it to one month old, weighed at less than 2 ounces. 




Lunar New Year came in mid February, the tiny girl is being referred to as the "Micro Girl".  She still did not look good, but she's alive.



At two months old on March 2, 2026, Micro Girl started to look better, the wool was no longer a mess.



On March 22, 2026, Micro Girl is 2-3/4 months old, she's ready to explore the outdoors.



In April, 2026, Micro Girl celebrated Easter.  



Micro Girl is still tiny in body but her head and face are getting prettier by the day.



In May 2026, Micro Girl started to look like a pretty junior doe.  



Micro Girl finally made it to 6 months old and exceeded the minimum weight of 5 pounds to be a senior doe.   She has yet to go to a show, but she is getting prettier by the day.



Look at Micro Girl now, she is 7 months old!  When is she going to a show?  That's a hard question to answer.   Autumn Beauty is very dominant at the current time,  it'll be next to impossible for Micro Girl to compete with her older cousin.  It's a happy story for a premature baby to be alive and growing well, this is a success regardless of whether she willl be going to a show or not.
