Buffalo Bills 2017-18

[That Aud Smell]

I consider myself lucky that being born 4 weeks early didn't do my health any damage either. 

 

Yeah - if you're into that 35-36-week range, complications tend to be far fewer and far less serious. Although boys will tend to have a rougher go of it.

 

Our preemie was earlier than that 35/36 threshold, although in the realm of preemies she was "a giant" (just shy of 34 weeks and weighing a bit over 4 lbs.). I've since read that the Thomases were about 17-18 weeks along in this pregnancy -- well before the range of a viable premature birth (but so painful and sad just the same, we can be sure).

Holy f###, imagine what sort of a giant you'd've become if you were fully baked! :P

Pray for me should I ever attempt to bear d4rk children.... 

 

 

My sister was very early. Due the second week of April, showed up January 3rd. so that's... 16 weeks early, 24 weeks in. Give or take a week. She was a sickly little thing but had a full head of hair- looked like a little wrinkly monkey. She made it. Then a year or so into life, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. She made it again. Has never really been that healthy, though. 

 

Hard and scary stuff. I feel for the Thomas family.

I have done a few xrays on premies that were less than 1lb and because their lungs were not fully developed they were struggling. Dont know how many survived. Both my boys were over 10 lbs.

I was over 6lbs and just jaundiced. That's about it. I was really lucky.

Your poor wife...

[North Buffalo]

Normally yes but they were long... 22 3/4 inches and 23 1/4 inches so not as bad as predicted and neither c section.

My oldest is 13 now and 5’8” and his feet are bigger than mine, 10 year old is 4’9” so I expect both taller than me at 6’2”

Condolences to the Thomas' on their loss.

True didnt catch the first part, my condolences too.

Holy smokes - 4 weeks early and weighing in over 6#?! Oof. Had your mom gone full-term, I'm guessing ... I dunno. 9-ish, at least, I think.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Haha, man the last thing I thought I'd be reading in the bills thread here.

 

 

Work, go away

[CallawaySabres]

10.3 pounds and a month late I was

10.3 pounds and a month late I was

 

Jesus. 43+ weeks? I believe that'd be referred to as post-term.

 

As I understand it, after 42 weeks that glorious temporary organ known as the placenta starts to break down.

[North Buffalo]

My oldest a week late was 10.2 my youngest on time was 10.95, both came flying out a half hour after they broke my wife’s water. Literally needed a catcher for both.

Dareus traded to the Jags

[darksabre]

Huge!

[LGR4GM]

So how does his contract work now that he's traded?

[Taro T]

Only a 6th that could become a 5th coming back & appaerently they still have a $14MM cap hit.

 

Edit: The $14MM is next year's dead cap. $10MM this season.

Is that less then with him here?

[Neo]

Trust the process .... I approve this dump of a dump.

[darksabre]

This move strikes me as uncharacteristic for a Buffalo team. I like it for that reason alone.

[Taro T]

Before TSW went down for the software upgrade pretty sure somebody'd said they save ~$3.6 this year & ~$5.6 next year versus having him on the roster. He's off the books after that but that's a lot of dead cap until then.

[TrueBlueGED]

I'm stunned. I legitimately can't believe we found a taker.

[Taro T]

 

They must've really considered him a cancer. (No schlitz, Sherlock. :lol:)

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Must we pollute every thread like this?

 

Please take this dump stuff to the Pu thread.

 

Thanks for making Sabrespace a better place.
