cleaning type person!

My 4 yr old went to the loo and had a firm stool but it was very dark green.

I'm not sure where else to ask this so I figured I'd give it a shot here.
My wife recalls hearing a (live?) Raffi CD many years ago when
she was a nanny that had a children's choir (it is not Raffi Live).

Well, today is my birthday, and I'm 30!  I've also reached the 38 week mark
today. :)  I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.  I still feel
like I don't have enough time.
My sister, who was due the 11th, is still pregnant after a week and a half

I had my BPP and ob appointment today.  Baby is still performing great!  My
amniotic fluid levels went up!!  Woo hoo!  Instead of 6.24 it was 8.39.  I
know the measuring isn't all that accurate, but it was good to have better
numbers.  It really was a rather boring appointment ...

girl,but the funny part of the whole thing is why my husband wants a
boy. We live in a really some town and while it is the 21st century,

August 27, my husband pouhded on the wall between the living room and
the computer room to have me pick up the phone. The first thing I heard
was a doctor saying, "He's not going to make it." Within an hour or so

I am 30 wks today (yay!), and have not gained any weight in the past 3
weeks.  In fact, I lost 0.5 lbs this week, although it could be back
tomorrow due to water weight fluctuations.
However, I have gained 25 lbs total this pregnancy from conception to now

On Wednesday I had a meeting with a midwife/counsellor and had a look at my
medical notes, I had put out of my mind everything that had happened in the
week before Ada's birth and had tried to forget about it. The reason I went
to the counsellor was because I wanted to talk about ...

to yellow to white.  Mine went from red to brown, more like a period.
Is this normal?  I have my postpartum checkup next week, but I'm too
curious for that.  I have no idea how to google this, either.
