I had a baby girl last august who weighed 9lb 15 1/2oz, she was a
shoulder distocia case and nothing was done to me to help her out except
 just tugging on her head and pulling her out, resulting in a brachial
plexus injury or erbs palsy.

I was thinking about Amy saying that husbands should have life insurance to
cover their family when they die.  Well that lead me to remember that DH has
some life though work BUT it would not be enough.  THEN I was wondering how
much a better policy would be.. THAT lead me to ...

Dh and Dad cleaned the garage today, found the baby clothes, the diapers,
the carseat, the toys... left the crib up in the rafters--Dad's gonna build

Every night when I am lying on my tummy, I seem to feel a really slight
fluttering. It is always in the same spot, unlike the gas which moves

occasional question back when I was pregnant with DD (our first, who is

Surprise of my life, but here I am! One year after my 3rd m/c made me sure I
was giving up all this for good, I got two lines. With any luck this one

since November, when my youngest fully weaned. Life was ...

well I'm not sure if the sickness was actually anything to do with this, but
