My daughter was born at 25 weeks she weighed 1lb 11oz and was 12 inches long.  We stayed 72 days in the nicu and I brought her home weighing 4lbs3oz.  She's 3 now and very healthy.  We had ups and downs but all in all it went better than expected.  I'm now expecting my 3rd and I'm high risk so my goal is to make full term.  I'm 9wks now.  Good luck.

My first arrived at 34+5, it was complete surprise with no warning. He weighed 4lb 7oz and had to stay in special care for a couple of weeks with feeding issues but other than that perfectly healthy - and is a healthy, happy and just as impatient 2 1/2yr old lol. Rest and keep up fluids in the mean time. I wish you all the best :)
