having Down syndrom is, according to the genetician at the hospital, between

Hey guys, I posted this on another board and the verdict I got was to

it here for some more advice.
A couple years ago I hired a guy named Thomas as a senior tech for a

Our 14 month old seems to be getting really constipated.  I don't know
if that's the right word in this case.  He does have a BM daily but it
seems painful, takes 2-3 tries (often) and then when it does finally go

I'm not sure, this is uncharted territory for me, but I think I may have

There are too many reviews saying the new (and improved) version
is far worse when it comes to odors.  However I can't find anyplace

no posts from bump lately...she have her baby?

-Said most often by someone who's never been pregnant, it's just what

I find this funny, so now I'm curious about others' experiences.
By 10 weeks I had a belly big enough to require clothes in a bigger

I know some of you said you were interested in hearing about Grant's
progress.  He's three months old and about 18 pounds.  He had a shunt
