[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I intentionally misrepresent their ages?

I said that I thought you were well intentionally getting it wrong.  Meaning that you were saying what you thought was true (good intentions), but likely to be wrong.  My doubt is because the odds are so astronomically against it.  It's certainly possible, but for a woman to have two seperate pregnancies in the 1990's that were both 22 weeks and both survived, but the odds of two surviving 22 weekers is low now, and was lower 20 years ago, and your first post said you had two cousins...I read into that two kids from the same mother.  Your second post said it wasn't two cousins, but an aunt and a cousin who gave birth...both perfectly charting...both with longer than usual lmp, both with 22 weekers.  It's coincidental, but I'll admit that coincidences sometimes happen.  I apologize. [/quote]

I come from an extremely large family, so the chances aren't so astronomical that such extraordinary babies would survive within the same family.  But I see where the misunderstanding arose, and I apologize for the confusion.  What is my relationship to a cousin's child?  Second cousin?  So the premature babies were my second cousin and my cousin--my cousin's daughter and my aunt's son, my mother's sister's granddaughter and my dad's sister's son (so no blood relation between the babies).  I just called them both my cousins.[/quote]
