I am really proud of your compsure. I am sure that I would have said something totally rude and gotten myself into trouble. But hey that is just me:)<BR/><BR/>Having been born 2 and half months early and weigning 2lbs 8 oz I can attest that I do not have a LD and contrary to what most people belive I also didn't suffer any height issues. As you know I am 5'9.5. Your little guys is going to grow up with the most loving careing wonderful parents and he is going to the smartest kid in class. <BR/><BR/>Keep track of this woman and send her Ethan's acceptance letter to Harvard:)<BR/><BR/>Many hugs -<BR/>TraciAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-1151175628506575822006-06-24T12:00:00.000-07:002006-06-24T12:00:00.000-07:00A) as a newish mom myself, I cannot even begin to ...A) as a newish mom myself, I cannot even begin to tell you how many mothers I know who gave birth prematurely. More prematurely than you and have perfectly normally learning able kids. You'd have to be pretty damn early to have a problem with that. And isn't that something for a fucking doctor to discuss with you IF your baby was say born at 28 weeks or something? UHHHHHH. In other news, I've just added you to my blogroll so you'll be the most popular blogger in NO TIME!BabyonBoredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988664515214410933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-1151092920858177672006-06-23T13:02:00.000-07:002006-06-23T13:02:00.000-07:00People are jackasses, plain and simple. You know, ...People are jackasses, plain and simple. You know, we all have those thoughts to our ourselves. "Why isn't he/she doing (fill in the blank developmental milestone here) yet?" And then in the back of your mind, you wonder. But then, as a parent, you move on.<BR/><BR/>But to have someone come out and basically sentence your child to a life of LD issues is just insane.<BR/><BR/>I would have said "Well, you know, 34w5d is the new 37w0d, so we're feeling pretty cool."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465194403058080094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-1151078102413795362006-06-23T08:55:00.000-07:002006-06-23T08:55:00.000-07:00I absolutely commend you for not slapping her in t...I absolutely commend you for not slapping her in the face and telling her to stuff it without perhaps using stronger words that an "English teacher" isn't supposed to know :-)<BR/><BR/>The two of you are among the most informed, well prepared parents I have ever run across and that includes me definitely. <BR/><BR/>That you have dealt with all of the stuff involved with this pregnancy and Ethan's prematurity and being "owned" by the hospital for those days instead of by the two of you and that he is now a happy, poopy, tranquil baby well on his way is really fantastic. <BR/><BR/>That you have to deal with idiots like that just proves once more that my dear partner is right when he says that most people are idiots.<BR/><BR/>Those who say "sticks and stones may break"....etc. don't understand the power of words and they ought to keep their mouths shut.

"you must have been born early"<BR/><BR/>BUs seriously, my peri. said that even at 28 WEEKS, 90% of the kids that survive have NO long-term disabilities, so I say whatever!

I am in absolute shock. I might have ...Oh MY GOD! I am in absolute shock. I might have said - "Wow you must have been born very early?" <BR/><BR/>As you know Sarah, my two little angels were born at 34 weeks 3 days and just reading your post has me fuming - what a completely inappropriate thing to say. Perhaps she should go back and do her research and she will see that if hit the 34 week point you are pretty much in the clear in this regard also. I think I would have strangled her.. such composure Sarah - god bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
