Hi, We saw the perinatologist this morning. She was very kind, and took lots of time with us and answered all of our questions. We took another look at the baby on the u/s and saw absolutely no fluid this time. It seems that (on top of everything else, and probably not unrelatedly) I'm leaking...

I am just wondering why other people insist on feeding my child things with out asking the parents first? My issue is sugar, My daughter turns into a hyperactive whirlwind while she is on sugar, and when she comes down she is bitter, hateful, and angry. Yet grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends...

Maxim came into the world today! Yep, today! 12:13 am on a full moon. He weight in at 9 pounds 12 ounces, and I forget his length (but it's pretty long). He's a big boy! The birth story, plus gory details... ;-) I was supposed to go in on Monday to see an OB and possibly get started on an...

I had my ultrasound today. We wanted to find out the sex because I've been hoping for a girl. Well it is boy - actually it is... Two boys. Twins. I'm not really ready for that. The excitement hasn't hit yet since I'm not done freaking out ;-). Baby A has a cyst on the brain but that is the...

Madilyn Kyung Kelley, MKK Samantha Kyung Kelley, SKK Alexandra Kyung Kelley, AKK Any other ideas? I'm down to just these.....I think. Names we considered but either Kevin or I didn't like: Sarah Nicole

I am planning to start TTC in May of 2005. It really all depends on when Rachel weans so it may be a bit after that-I'm not weaning her to have a second, but at 1 year when she can have regular milk I plan to start the weaning if she hasn't already. I am not even planning on TTC before she is...

Ok, I know this isn't quite the forum for it but I really need to vent. In Dec. 2002 my husband lost his lucrative tech job as a software developer. He was making good money and he had been getting job offers while he was employed so he figured that he would find a new job within a few months....

I'm chuffed to say baby William was born at 8.50am Friday 8th July weighing 7lb10oz and is healthy. Feed well from start. Pain relief was tens machine, but due to stressed baby in final stages an epiostomy and kiwi were needed to deliver him safely. Totally happy with all decisions I made and...

I'm just having a little argument with my wife about toxoplasmosis. She insists pregnant women should not clean a cat litter box because of toxoplasmosis (note: this is just an academic debate, she is not pregnant). I think that if the cats are house cats and are not allowed out of the house, then...

Geez what a pain. I was leaving base about 5:30 pm to get the kids dinner (Dylan's away, didn't feel like cooking). I passed one accident, didn't know the car in front of me was stopping (as opposed to slowing down) for an accident in front of us and I hit him. Luckily there were tons of police,...

Scheherazade's birth story March 2nd, 2004 - * - In which we already know the sad ending The story begins with a high AFP reading at 16 weeks and a diagnosis of moderately decreased amniotic fluid at our 17 week ultrasound. The OB said it wasn't good, but it might resolve with rest. By 19...

Typical Emily menu - Breakfast - Baby porridge with banana + 5oz bottle Lunch - Chicken, Rice with veg + 5oz bottle Tea - Fruit puree + 5oz bottle Bedtime - 5oz bottle She refuses any more food. and it takes me all my time to get her to eat ALL of the above. BUT our health visitor weighed her...

Today is so totally my day!! /bounce bounce bounce The u/s this morning showed two babies with two heartbeats. Each had grown well and both are right on track. Baby B is still slightly smaller than baby A, which would match exactly the fact that I ovulated on two consecutive days. The fertility...

Okay, I'm freaking out!! Can you say, TERRIFIED!! I haven't even cleaned my room yet. Good grief. I HAVE to take a few days off to be able to do this. There is NO way I have the energy left AFTER work. So, I have got to step up and just tell my mother that I'm out of the loop for a couple of...

I was a bit sore last night in the chest area and so I decided to pump a bit to see what I could get.. I got a whole 1/2 an oz out of both combined.. hehe not bad for the little bit of work I did with the Medela pump parts I got to keep from the hospital. I am thinking I may ask the WIC office if...

A Jordanian woman gave birth on a flight from Amsterdam to Chicago yesterday. When it became apparent that she was going to have the baby, they diverted the flight to St. John's, Newfoundland, which is why the story is on CBC. I guess this is why they don't like you to fly late in the...

Hello, first post to a newsgroup in a long, long time! Well, this is the situation. My wife, who usually insists on doing everything herself, also wants to give birth by herself (keep reading;)... with NO help!!! We live in Australia. We can't afford to have a mid-wife for a home birth, but...

We're having some trouble coming up with a suitable middle name *sigh* we are having a little bubba girl in August, and decided on Micaela. Spelling it this way, because the Mikayla I knew as a kidback home got the nickname "Kayla" and we both hate that. I'm not into "traditional" type names at...
