Hi; Sina is giving me a real hard time. :( I am so unhappy & I believe so is she. 1- I do realize that I am having some sort of postpartum blues right now. I am overwhelmed by everything. Not only the sad things, but also the happy things. I look at my daughter & I am so happy that I cry. I look...

I was wondering what the age requirement is to have a child in the top bunk? I am thinking about getting a bunk bed for my 2 kids in about a year and a half (I know a little ahead of myself:-)) and my DD, who would be in the top bunk would be about 4 years old and DS will almost 2. Is that too...

http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/dailydish/ ROBERTS EXPECTING BOY AND GIRL Movie star Julia Roberts has been informed by doctors her unborn twins are a boy and a girl. The actress -- who will take a hiatus from her hectic Hollywood career to focus on raising her children with husband Danny Moder...

All is well -- blood pressure was 100/60, total weight gain so far is just shy of 40 pounds, had the GBS test (something they didn't do with my last pregnancy, so that was a new experience), and the baby's heartrate was too variable to get a number, so there's no gender guessing to be done...

The short story: Mohamed Yousef III was born vaginally on Friday July the 30th at 4:08pm after an induction. He weighted 7 pounds 15 ounces and measured 21 1/2 inches. The long story: At 41 weeks, on Tuesday I had an OB appointment. I was 2-3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. The doctor told me that I...

I am so frustrated. I posted a little bit about this on MKB but this is a call for help to both groups. MKP. We had Rachel checked for pyloric stenosis- she is ok and doesn't have that. So WHY, why, why is she projectile spitting-up- I can't call it a vomit- it just flies out of her mouth and...

Hi you guys; Here are some more of Sina's pics. :) Mona http://www.zieminski.com/photos/2004/Sina/film3/previews/roll1/3240884-r1-033-15.jpg http://www.zieminski.com/photos/2004/Sina/film3/previews/roll1/3240884-r1-007-2.jpg

Ok, taking after me, when Logan decides he's changing he does it overnight. This will drive his father nuts. lol He suddenly decided about two weeks ago that his baby milk couldn't get into his tummy fast enough to satisfy him. So we went about picking a high chair, washing his baby spoons, buying...

Everything's so much better this time around! I had my nuchal fold scan yesterday and will get the results next week. Although I'm having some scheduling difficulties with my OB, I did get a reasonable appointment for next week (she wants to talk for about an hour and have hubby there but, until...

my 10 week old has been very snotty sounding when he breathes and it gets worse laying down so we haven't been sleeping well. he'll even cough like it is tickling his throat. i'm not sure if he has a cold or what. he seems fine otherwise. the nurse says to put in 1 or 2 drops of saline nasal...

Yes my phone service went out for a few hours tonight.. I am lucky i made it through that tough 3 hours;) Dumb storms! Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04

Good news first: I got my period this weekend, in spite of taking 2x 100mg prometrium (progesterone) as a vaginal suppository. So I guess my body knows what it's at, in spite of the additional hormones. Bad news: I'm not preggers this round, but I knew that. Weird enough, I felt pregnant for 5...

Does anyone have any info on what the percentage of women who have c-sections go on to have repeat c-sections? I would assume the rate of repeat c-sections is far higher than VBAC but I'm wondering how much higher. Thanks. Wendy

All around, I had a good visit yesterday. My blood pressure continues to be low -- 104/54. I gained 3 1/2 pounds over the last 3 weeks, which brings my weight gain to a grand total of 33 pounds. I am not happy about that, but I have noticed a lot of water retention as of late -- hoping to blame...

I found out what is causing the pain I am having.. it is a pulled Ligament. The OB I saw today did an internal and pressed on it to make sure she was the right thing.. Anyway it is not hurting so much today but it hurt when she pushed on it.. lol as a comparason she pushed on the *matching* one...

First the good news-the baby is growing as expected, heartbeat is strong, and the average BP readings and protein levels etc don't show any early signs of PE. The bad news is that some of my headaches are demonstrating neurological symptoms which are sometimes seen in severe PE. This could...

How do you conceive if you are breastfeeding and are not having a period? I know you can breastfeed and be pregnant at the same time, but when do you ovulate? Can you ovulate without a period? Is there any good time to try to have your second child? I'm 5 months PP. I was thinking about...

I am having a shower for my friend at a very nice restaurant that will include a sit-down luncheon. It's a bit of an older crowd, so we aren't really planning any games or anything. For my favors, I have bought little plastic cube shaped boxes and I'm not sure what to fill them with. I've thought...

Hi gals, This is Sherry ("Vogelsher") from, gosh, 3 years ago? It took FOREVER for us to get preggers, but I just loved the board and now we're trying for #2, so here I am, ready to get back into ttc/baby discussions! LOL I can't believe it's been so long... My DD is 2 yrs, 4 mos (email me if you...

Well, I went to see my regular doc today because the pain sometimes makes me want to lose my mind on purpose. ;-) Actually, it was during a really baaaaaad day that I even made the appointment. Normally, I probably would have put it off. Anyway, he said that they normally need x-rays in order...
