# 1. People have begun asking me when I am due.
I know my EDD, but I tend to answer the question with beginning of January. I don't want to lie, but if Season comes early, I don't want people to have a prejudiced notion that in case Season needs NICU and all that, it is because of prematurity.
I want him/her to be considered a normal child with the usual things being expected of him/her rather than people forming a first impression of him/her through the preemie status. I can't have another PDA equals to hole-in-the-heart, and hence ooh-severely-complicated layman interpretation of whatever is going on with this child.

# 2. I still have modest aspirations that I will see atleast 35 weeks of pregnancy, and go on to 36 weeks gestation ideally. Ideally.
But I know that when the time comes and if it is not what I am mentally comfortable with, I will respect SuperGyn's decision and will trust her to bring this baby out as safely as possible.
It doesn't matter what the others are thinking. People are people and always be, passing uncalled for judgments, talking nonsense, and so on. Ignore them.
ReplyDeleteWhat matters is what your doctors think and do to make sure Season comes when is the time and stays healthy and thriving.
Praying that everything goes smoothly.
Thinking of you.
There is nothing easy about your situation. Tell people what you think is best, what you would like to tell them. Holding you and Season (and CheekyBub) close.
ReplyDeleteYou don't owe people anything. Tell them whatever you're comfortable with!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other commenters, tell them whatever you're comfortable with. That's all that really matters.
ReplyDeleteI know...if we manage another babe, 35 weeks will be my goal...I find that strange...
ReplyDeleteYour doing great! People ask all kinds of stuff, you know my situation, and I have had all kinds of crazy questions, I tell them what ever I want to and not a sentence more! No need for details :).
ReplyDeletebtw, i gave you an award: http://zygotta.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/960/
ReplyDeleteYou can tell people as much or as little as you like. You can tell them the truth or you can tell them whatever you feel like telling them. That's the power of being the pregnant lady - you're in charge of the information!
ReplyDeleteThinking about you as Season's delivery approaches. Praying for a healthy baby and healthy momma.
