Numbers

Theodore's birthday - April 23 = 04 23 = 27

Alexander's birthday - February 27 = 02 27 = 29


Alexander's due date - Feb 18 = 02 18 = 20

Theodore's due date - May 9 = 05 09 = 14


Theo's date of conception - August 18 = 08 18 = 26

Alexander's date of conception - May 29 = 05 29 = 34




Alexander's due date based on LMP = Feb 21 = 02 21 = 23

Theodore's due date based on LMP = May 12 = 05 12 = 17


Theo's gestation was 37+5

Alexander's gestation was 41+2



All of Alexander's numbers are bigger... greater than... more than...

He is the big brother.  He is the biggest.  He is first.


If Theo gestated 41+2 days he would have been born on May 18

Alexander was due on February 18

18.  They share it.  But it's not real.  Theo didn't go to 41+2.  We let him go only to 37+5 to make sure he came out alive.


04 23 = 27.  Alexander was 27.  27.

I wanted Theo born on April 25.  04 25 to be 29.  Alexander was 02 27.  29.  But no.  They don't share 29.

I wanted them to legitimately share a number.  I wanted them both to have a number to represent them both.  I would take that number and sear it on to my heart.



37+5 = 42
41+2 = 43

42 - 43 = -1
43 - 42 = 1

I have 1 son.  I have -1 son.

Theodore is now awake.  I wanted to trip out on these numbers a bit longer... 

Maybe it will all mean something some day...

  1. I remember doing similar number crunching. Thinking about how old Finn would have been had he been born the same as Cale (he was nine days younger gestationally) kinda funny how our minds look for any coincidents and connections between our kids.

  2. I spend time trying to crunch numbers, too. Trying to see what might happen next, based on the patterns of numbers. I wish that I could look in the numbers to figure out what happened to my boy.

  3. Wow.. U into numbers as well... Our baby has a special bond with 5. Born on nov 14 adds up to 5. Also she was tiny, 5 lbs 5 oz and was born on 5.55 pm. Cutu was born on 10 nov.. Kind of twice the 5 that his sister is. Sigh :(

  4. We remembered you and your boys in Chicago. We'd love to all get together again and I hope I get to meet you one of these times! :)
