Re: TERRIFIED TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY

<t>I was terrified as well. I waited six years before I worked up the courage, but trust me, it is so worth it. I'm so glad that I did. I can't imagine life without my little boy. <br/> <br/> The key is to find a doctor you trust and are comfortable with. I went through two OBs before I found one th...

Re: Surgeries

<r>We are in nearly the exact same position. My daughter is eight and had surgeries at 7 months and 2 years. We don't regret those surgeries in the slightest. She now has a very slight bicep contracture and she is beginning to tighten up again in the shoulder area and the surgeon recommends a bicep ...

Re: Here after a LOOOONG time / Update on Suvi

<t>Hi Krista!!! It is so good to hear from you. Remember our trip to backwoods New York/Vermont? What fun! I'm glad to hear Suvi is doing well. She sounds exactly like Cameron (she just turned 8) -- Cameron loves horses too and is in adaptive riding lessons. <br/> <br/> She is also stiffening in the...
