  1. My babies are great! My son just turned 3 and my daughter is gettin chubby! :confused: lol. She's over 5 pounds now and just plumpin right up! She's in newborn diapers now!!! I'm super tired. I pump every 3 hours (even through the night) for 20 minutes then I feed my daughter every 3 hours for 10-20 minutes....exhausting! lol. But we're all doing pretty well!
  2. Steven Segal was a wife beater...I guess that's way cooler than being a real man like Mr Norris lol.....
  3. My lil porker is up to 4.6 pounds! lol. They had to do an EKG the other day cause her heart rate was fast, but it came back on the high side of normal so they said she was fine :smile2: YAY!
  4. And this is some of why I do not believe...
  5. I didn't do drugs, drink, smoke, and no one in my family has a special needs or disabled child and all thier babies were term and of good size...so why do I have a special needs, disabled baby and another preemie?
  6. Sami Sam came home on the 22nd after just barely 12 days in the NICU! OMG I have a newborn!
  7. This baby isn't even a preemie. she weighs almost 8 pounds...she's just addicted to drugs. Hopefully my lil one will be coming home next week sometime...I hope!
  8. It disgusts me...I may ask the nurses tomorrow if they can move that baby...they bring 3 people to see it everytime I'm there and thier loud and it's distracting when my baby is trying to eat...we'll see
  9. I am disgusted that I have to sit with my baby next to this drug addicted mother while her poor baby cries in pain all day! If anything they need to find that baby a home! This woman has 8 other kids at home and this is her second one born on drugs! Makes me sick!
  10. Sam is doing pretty well. She hasn't needed oxygen at all. She's up to 3 pounds 13 ounces. All she needs to do is nipple all her feeds, lower her bilirubin, and maintain her own temp! Hopefully, she'll come home sometime next week or so!
  11. Okay so. Jan 27th I started contracting. They put me on Niphedapine. It didn't help and they were stronger and closer together. Jan 29th I was admited to the hospital and put on Magnesium. Feb 7th they took me off the Mag and put me back on the Niphedapine. The contractions came back and the morning of the 10th I began bleeding. Samantha Rae was born at 9.14 am at 35 weeks gestation weighing 3 pounds 8 ounces and almost 18 inches long. I was released from the hospital This last Saturday and she's still in the NICU...This was quite a ride that I never want to take again lol. Guess I got out of having that amnio though lol
  12. Thank you. By the way in the NICU there is a baby next to mine that was born on Methadon and across from my baby is one they are trying to find a home for because the mother snuck out of the hospital leaving a note that said she didn't want it...they still haven't found that baby a home...sad.
  13. Yeah apparently I make small babies. She's 3 pounds and she's still in the NICU...hopefully only a little longer It's hard to leave without them. My son was born at 32 weeks.
  14. Wow...I missed a lot! After 10 days in the hospital on Magnesium and 3 more days on niphedipine in the hospital I gave birth to my daughter at 35 weeks via emergency c-section...missed you guys!
  15. I think it's kind of scary that PG has had an influence on so many children...lol like making a PG cult lol jk. It is wonderful...if only there were more people willing to adopt the unwanted, the deformed, the troubled, the disabled and the special needs children...sigh
  16. That would only make sense...taking a life is never ok after all...
  17. The problem of going into labor early is that my baby is measuring small...she's measuring at around 26 weeks and she's 32...she weighs around 2 pounds. I've had a baby early already once and it's really tough on me and baby. Also they don't want me to go into labor...I have to have a c-section. Thank you both for you input. I am so scared about it. I have a doppler test Thursday to see if she's getting enough oxygen and then I guess we'll go from there.
  18. Breast feed if at all possible! With my first pregnancy I gained over 40 pounds (no band yet) and with just breast feeding I dropped a lot of weight! Breast feeding is not just great for you and baby, but it burns calories! Right now just concentrate on you and your baby and the weight will come off later! Good luck!
  19. Hey there! Congrats! How are things going for both your band and your baby? I'm currently 32 weeks with my second baby, but third pregnancy. I was banded September of 2008! Good luck and I'm always around if you need to chat :biggrin:
  20. According to you those babies scream as they're being aborted...I don't consider taking a pill that allows an implanted embryo to slide out of the vagina being "butchered". Have you ever seen something "slaughtered"? Come on your word usages are ridiculous!
  21. I'm not against the death penalty...I think sometimes it is used when it shouldn't be though
  22. Exactly! PG is just talking to women who now stand as prolife...what would you expect them to say
  23. How dare that yound girl make such a selfish decision...How could she think of herself and not the life that was forced inside of her! That's what's sad! Maybe instead of thinking of a life just beginning you should think of the life already being lived!
  24. As I have said many times before PG I don't regret mine and I never will!
  25. Wrong. The 2 month old doesn't need the host! The 2 month old can survive with anyone taking care of it! The fetus/embryo needs the host
