Since we don't like to brag on FB about this kind of stuff I will tell you here. My 13 y/o step daughter is about to finish Junior High with never getting anything below an "A". She is such a smart and hard working kid. My gift to her for this great accomplishment will be a new MBP for her to use for High School. I am so proud!
- These are the kinds of things I think about all the time now, just thinking about the future for ours.mg33
- i talk to her about the future all the time. about college, careers, travel, family, things my parents never talked to me about.HijoDMaite
- also taking her to bank this week to open an account with her own debit card and taking her to 24hr fitness to get her own membership. She can do both at 13.HijoDMaite

my 4 year old son fell off a stool last night and yelled "SHIT!" right in front of me. I didn't know if I should laugh or scold him. I ended up just laughing and helping him up.

Hello there QBNs.
Daughter was born Thursday 4/30.
It was an absolute ordeal but looks like tomorrow we will be going home.
She was 2 days late from her due date, and my wife notices she our girl was not moving much so we went to her doctor and then 30 minutes later we rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section.
The cord had wrapped around her neck 4 times and the had a meconium stool in utero.
Things seemed somewhat ok after the birth, but a few hours later the had breathing issues and gluecose issues. Then they noticed she had started having lots of seizures and was admitted to the NICU. For the 1st 2 days we were a wreck as the doctors worked tirelessly to find out what was causing the seizures and to get her stabilized. They did an MRI, EEG, EKG, Echo-cadiogram, something comparable to a spinal tap, and a few other tests. All the tests came back positive, but the EEG confirmed the seizures.
2-3 days ago they found the right seizure medication and it has completely stopped the seizures and she has made a 180 and the doctors believe she will be ready to go home tomorrow with us. (we need to keep her on the seizure medication for about 30 days). They are somewhat confident her brain has not been badly affected but we need to keep monitoring it.
Here's a picture of our girl. She seems so normal and is feeding well and very responsive.
And, they said they have never seen hair like this on a newborn.
- I bet your deliriously tired, Hang in there slink! & congrats!moldero

That's some scary shit!
Our first birth went very smoothly. The second one made think why anyone would ever want to go through this process ever again.
My second son was turned around in the whom (sunny side up - OP) which made it very difficult to push out. I guess when this happens people usually get emergency C sections but it was to late for that. After the final push the doctor put my son on my wife's chest and he was completely blue and not moving. They tried to clear his throat and he was still unresponsive. My wife just kept repeating "is he all right? is he alright!" They pulled his tiny blue body off her chest and he looked lifeless and they had to call the NICU unit. He hadn't breathed in almost 2 minutes and within a few seconds about 10 people were hovering over him working on him. At this point I turned white and had the cold sweats and thought I was either going to puke, pass out or both. Finally they got him breathing, all the extra nurses and doctors left and they acted like it was business as usual. It was the scariest 5-10 minutes of my life.
Here they are side by side, nearly 4 years apart...
