I was visiting with my friend and her baby the other day. Hannah was born at 39weeks6days. Her son was born at 37weeks5days. He was born on 5/7 and she was born on 5/9. When she saw Hannah and her all the sounds she makes and saw the way she interacts with toys she was amazed. She said, " I think that b/c Michael was born a couple of weeks early, he is just a little slower at developing than she is. He just started grunted and really doesn't pay too much attention to toys. She really looks at them and responds to them." I don't know if that is true or not - it was just her observation, but if it is true, it shows that even being induced a couple of weeks early can affect their development. (She was not induced, but went into labor on her own early.) For the next pg, when I'm so huge and tired, I'm going to have to remind myself of this and not beg for the c-section early.
