    • High Five

      From LynnSV July 3

      Wow! Our boys are the same age, and the same weight! David's little legs are starting to fill out, he's so cute, but has the most serious gaze. Hope Collin is doing well, take care!

    • Superhero Status

      From LynnSV June 24

      I find that if I put my contacts in it forces me to stay awake all day long. That, and lots of coffee are helping. However, more than a few hours of sleep at a time would be wonderful. Hope you are hanging in there...I'm expecting a growth spurt soon. Take care!

      From lyssie2 June 19

      I hope that you and Colin are doing great!!! Hugs to you hun!

    • I’m With You

      From LynnSV June 14

      Hope that you all are adjusting to life with a newborn! It's been a little rocky over here, but better. Juggling 2 kids is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Take care, hope to hear from you soon!

    • I’m With You

      From LynnSV June 3

      Congrats on the birth of Collin! He's one day older than my David. Hope you are feeling well...we are totally in the same boat. Hope that your daughter is handling big sister duties alright! WE DID IT!!!!!!

    • Close Miscarriage

      I found out I was pregnant the day before my 30th birthday. At almost 9 weeks I had my first prenatal visit and they did an ultrasound. They could not find a heartbeat, but my baby had perfect measurements. It was confirmed the next day on May 22nd that my baby had recently passed away. I had a D and C on May 23rd.

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I have a beautiful 3 year old named Amelia who is smart, friendly and VERY stubborn!

      Treatments

      Child Time-out Somewhat Helpful
      Patience Working / Worked
    • Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I found out I had a missed m/c at almost 9 weeks, May 22nd 2008. I had a D and C the next day. I was devestated and lost. Found out today, September 18th that I am pregnant again...so scared.

    • Open Back Pain

      In my early twenties I started having lower back pain. It got increasingly worse. After my daughter was born in 2005, I could no longer hold her or walk. I found out I have degenerative disc disease and had ruptured L5-S1. I had a spinal fusion in 2006 at the age of 27. L3 and L4 are slightly herniated, but cause little pain.

      Treatments

      Bedrest Working / Worked
      while it helped to lie down, this was hard to do when working and taking care of a baby!
      Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
      Never helped.
      Epidural Injection Somewhat Helpful
      Worked great for the first couple of days, not worth the injection pain.
      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Spinal Fusion Working / Worked
      In 2006 after becoming bed ridden and having to take vicoden I decided to get L5 and S1 fused. I have 6 screws in my back. The recovery was terrible but I am 90 pain free now.
