An update to the post about baby Amillia, the 22 week preemie.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17304274/site/newsweek/
The article states that the mother initially messed up in reporting her conception dates at her first prenatal visit, therefore the doctor assumed that the baby was about 24 weeks when delivered.
I don't know about you, but I knew the date and time, practically to the minute, each and every step of the IVF path. I'm a little surprised that the woman and her OB didn't get all the facts straight. But who knows, in the flush of excitement over a much-desired pregnancy, I could see how things could get mixed up a bit. It might be a good thing if OBs could confirm basic facts with the RE before things get going. Can't hurt to double check the calculations.
Delightful, anyway, that baby Amillie is meeting her developmental milestones, and appears to be doing well.

i heard actually that she lied about gestational age so that they would be willing to try to save the baby.
(but i'm with you re: the people who don't know how far along they are. i just asked a neighbor and she was all, well, not sure, maybe 16 or 18 weeks... what?! not sure?! i always knew down to the hour, practically, and i didn't even do art!)
