Corrected Gestational Age

Well since there is nothing to really update tonight I thought I would explain why though Spencer is 3 and a half months old by birthday he is only doing things developementally at that of a 7 week old baby.

Spencer was due on February 17th and was born on December 18th so he was born about 31 weeks gestation. 8 weeks = 2 months. His age by birthdate is 3 months and almost 3 weeks. So when you subtract the 3 months and 3 weeks - 2 months = 1 month and 3 weeks. So If I talk about things that he is just now doing that he should have done then you will understand why.

Most people don't understand things like that until you are in the situation but I figured I would get in a little explanation of it.

By the way, Spencer is 7 lbs 11.7oz today. I remember when we were staring 4 lbs in the face and thinking that was big and now he is so much bigger.
