Right near the Pisces/Aries cusp
3-21. Definitely have traits of both!😄

I was just under 2 lbs then dropped closer to 1. Got sick with something. Had a transfusion. Was in the incubator for close to 1 1/2 months.

One day when I was still a teen, or early 20's at one of our big family gatherings one of my aunts held up one of the ?Cornish Hens we were eating, and "and that's about how much weighed" indicating - me.
I was sooo embarrassed! 😄

A strange thing.
One time I was temping as a helper to bank tellers. I had to go and talk to a customer. This was in the early days after a lot of robberies in NYC that some banks put up plastic shielding.

Ours was about 1 inch thick. Had a square cut out for talking along with a square plastic mounted on rods in front of the square opening to protect it.

Well, I don't remember whether I felt it at the time, or later at home. But I felt really weird. Almost as though I was having a preverbal memory of looking out of the incubator. 🤔
