[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW OP if baby was born shortly after you first posted and got released from NICU in a week to beat the snow and can feed, etc. then likelihood of Kevin having been born 6 lb 4 oz and 33 weeks are not good.

OP here

The 32 week quote was from an advanced ultrasound clinic but there was no LMP known so they were in the dark and had to go by measurements.

He was 6lb4 so he could very well have been more weeks closer to term. Cryptic pregnancies (and someone here told me that term) are just not routinely seen.

She went into labor 4 days after the “32” week quote, it all happened quite quickly.

I’m just saying I can’t believe there’s any master plan when no woman can predict with a 1st pregnancy how you will carry, whether you will throw up every morning, when you will go into labor … those are things that lots of women would surely like to control, but those things just cannot be controlled like that. “I’d like to get to be 7-8 months pregnant without ever looking pregnant” “I would like to act like I’m not pregnant and have no one notice until the very last minute”  … if someone says that’s an actual choice, that’s a joke. That’s not reality.

Pregnancy is one of those things everyone likes to believe they can control how it goes, but there’s no modern medicine even for the wealthy that can stop a late term miscarriage or stillbirth and “healthy” babies are born all the time to women who didn’t follow all the “rules”

Anyway, I have still not met the baby, that would be violating my son’s current boundaries and I am OK with that. I just did get delivered what I could. I didn’t give anyone a check. Diapers, formula, baby supplies, clothes, some baby blankets I had not yet donated because I currently don’t have a car.

I actually woke up very worried for my son today because my older son was telling me he initially was so far into fantasy world of “this is not happening” that he apparently actually tried to look up how you could leave a newborn at a fire station. Even his brother was like “hold on, buddy, we have to dial this all down ASAP” and he has been a godsend all this week.

I texted him today after 5 days of silence that even though the game has changed I am still always on his team and I am still here whenever he needs me and he said thank you for respecting my boundaries and I very much appreciate your allowing me to make my own decisions with this ongoing decisions.

I was seriously worried a few times in the dead of last night that he might harm himself. I don’t think he has seen the baby himself yet (which means he’s still got all the supplies I gave him on Sunday morning ahead of the snow). OK I can’t control that. But they won’t go bad, either, all the RTF formula I had I had delivered fresh (but not by me)[/quote]
