That would be hard to discern as there are plenty of 40-weekers who have mental health issues. I'm glad you made it.

My wife worked in NICU long enough that a young dad was in with his premie and my wife was caring for it. The dad knew my wife's name and they were both flabbergasted. He had been a premie about 19 years before and my wife took care of him.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the baby should have died!! My wife was a high-level NICU nurse and from her I learned that the earlier a baby is born the more likely are serious problems. Our grandson, who lives in our 3-generation home, was premature and he has only a few problems that few can recognize, but he was only a few weeks premature. How premature were you?

So for the past two years or so, southern US (AR) has had unbelievably cold Februarys. This year was more mild and super enjoyable.

Does that means we’re going to see a more rain-heavy summer? The last two have been pretty dry save for a few really heavy days of rain at the start.

And what part of the El Niño/La Niña cycle(s) affect the earlier months of the year? I’ve heard of both, but only usually as we go into the summer months.
