Even if this is true atm, and it may not even be how he feels, I think that giving your son a sibling is a wonderful gift. I read an article a while ago written by someone who grew up as a single...

It sounds like the benefits of the test outweigh the risks for your DS, Hobber. I think it's considered fairly low risk, with the level of radiation being pretty low compared to other diagnostic...

He's such a cutey! :) Congrats!!

It's hard shopping for the youngest, isn't it? They already have so much from their siblings! I found that my kids liked puzzles - the Melissa and Doug peg puzzles were a favorite - at that age. ...

It took me about 6 weeks with DS3. Time to heal, get bfing working, get into a routine... but it depends on the baby too, how quickly they start sleeping in longer stretches, etc. You might be ok...

Nope, leaked colostrum from the beginning of the second trimester with 2 of my pregnancies and it still took about 2-3 days for milk to come in. Sooo uncomfortable those first few days!! Ugh. Not...

Glad to see you making plans, PP. Can't wait to cheer you on! :) :cheer:

I don't think that an amnio needs to be routine based on age alone. The screening tests can work just as well for older mamas as for the younger ones. I just got my IPS (integrated pregnancy screen...

So sorry for your loss. You did not cause this, so please don't feel guilty about that. You loved your baby even if you felt disappointed that you did not get the girl you swayed for. Most of us...

Welcome! You'll find that this site is a great place to start to gather some info and support. I would suggest sitting down with hubby and telling him how you feel, though. Can't do much unless...

I get this comment a lot too (well, I get the "IF you ever have a girl after 3 boys") but I always took it as a good thing! I love the idea that my DD would be tough and able to hold her own with...

I think it's normal to worry that something will go wrong when you're getting something that you really want. I'm finding myself more worried about this baby than I was with my naturally conceived...

Oh, it's really hard if you're not sure you're done!!

I have kept *everything* so far. As soon as the clothes are outgrown they get sorted and stored in the basement. Same with baby gear and...

She's beautiful! Congrats!! And lol at your description of DH. Mine's the same, hehehe. :)

I debated going HT for #3 as we only wanted 3 kids and wanted a girl. In the end, after a lot of research, I scared myself out of it (the drugs, possibility of losing all that money, etc) and...

With PGD you do a biopsy on the embryo and get a cell to look at the genes. It's quoted as 99% accurate, to account for human error, I guess. Microsort is a sperm sorting method that gives you...

This is my experience so far too, sigh. With the first bout I went to the pediatric walk in twice and saw two different pediatricians. Both said virus and nothing we can do but wait. Now second...

Thanks ladies, I'm going to make an appointment with our family doctor again and see what else she wants to do... check for parasites, blood work, etc.

DS1 has had a stomach ache for a month now and I don't know what to do. :(

At the end of March he woke up one morning and complained of stomach ache. Around noon he threw up and got all pale and...

I wrote this timeline out for someone with a similar question in the private forum... I'll post it here for you:

I'll give you an idea of time line from the cycle I just did in March (but yours...

It is free if you are a Dream Member on this site ($12) or it's somewhere around $300 otherwise, I think.

I used the Br. Brown's as well, and really liked them. I used the plastic ones that are BPA free.

Yikes, I think I would really annoy myself if I did that. :P

:rolleyes:

Seriously, anytime that parents restrict something to that extent, the kids just go nuts with it later, when they get the chance to. Not to mention that there is nothing really wrong...

I'm using IE and can't add an avatar either. I thought that maybe that was an extra for members only? Or is it just a glitch?
