Hello WhyNot - A while back I followed your thread about your very early baby with interest, especially since I was pregnant at the time. Just wondering how you and your daughter are doing these days? ---

Okay, just one bump in case she is like me and usually only has time to read the first page of a Forum … ---

Oops! Sorry about that, folks! I must have missed this one. (I normally search by New Posts, and these days hardly get to page 3 of that search, so I’m afraid I miss a lot!) Anyhow, she’s great and wonderful and healthy. I’ll post a full update in a few days when she turns ONE!!! (Hopefully I’ll get off my butt…or…er… **on** my butt, to be more precise… and upload more pictures by that point, as well.) Soon to be updated photo link. ---

Wait a minute … she’s almost 1!!! Where did the time go? (I will admit that while I read your original thread, I kind of skipped parts of it because I was pregnant at the time and found it all a little scary, inspirational but scary). I am so glad she is doing so well - she is friggin’ adorable and I hope to see new pics soon! S. ---

I’m confused. is that 1 as in birth age or 1 as in arrival date? (if you follow that…) Either way–she is cute as can be! ---

One as in, her c-sectioned arrival to the world was on Feb 9, 2005. And yeah, my husband suggested last night that “birthday” wasn’t quite the right word for it, until I gave him the :dubious: face and suggested that he might not want to demean tens of thousands of women’s experiences by suggesting emergency c-sections aren’t “birth”! 😃 We’ll have some sort of happy happy event on June 2, the anniversary of her due date, but Thursday is definitely her birthday. ---

She’s just beautiful. Congrats to all of you on the happiest ending, or rather beginning, ever. 🙂 ---
