Some questions

So I've been wondering about a few things, probably all of them things I could find answers to if I actually decided to make the effort. But I haven't. So here are a few.

1. Newborns are screened for a certain number of genetic illnesses/predispositions to those illnesses. At what point was my daughter screened? Or was she?

2. Does the fact that Ella's dad puts her to bed with the radio on mean she's going to be one of those people who always has to have some kind of noise in the background to calm down and focus?

3. Because of when my daughter was born, she's going to be one of the oldest kids in her classes. Is this going to result in her being the illegal-substance/item-buyer for her underage peers?

4. Being born 3 1/2 months early not only put Ella into a different Zodiac sign, it also put her in a different year according to the Chinese calendar. What do I go by when it comes to determining her astrological inclinations? When she was physically born? Or when she was suppose to be? This is a big question for me, ironically bigger than any of the other issues.

Number 3 made me crack up. Isn't it funny some of the things us moms think about?

I vote for her date of birth because she was obviously so meant to be that birth sign that she arrived massively early. Of course you might want to defer to Jeanne Dixon on this one... if she's alive.
