I agree. She is a completely separate person from the pastor and should be treated as such.

Let's Talk About Having a Bicornuate Uterus - Blog Entry

27 Feb 2007 09:43 PM

I had my two children 10 and 12 years ago before finding out I had a bircornate uterus. The problem was not diagnosed until after it was removed and disected. I had it removed after years of uncontrolled bleeding.

When Your Uterus is Deformed - Blog Entry

27 Feb 2007 09:40 PM

I had a bicornuate uterus. I say had because I don't have a uterus any more. Previous doctors said my uterus was in the wrong place or sideways. Turns out it had a wall down the center. I carried each kid on the left side. My stretch marks are proof of it.

After my second one and a bout with polycystic ovarian syndrome and years of uncontrollable bleeding, it was removed.

Should You Make Kids Save for College? - Blog Entry

27 Feb 2007 09:18 AM

Financial Aid paid for all my older siblings to go through college until it was my turn and our income to Dependants ratio was not in my favor. My parents wanted to, and tried to pay my way, but fell short. Had It been suggested that I save for college I would have better used all the money I made from age 14 up, I would have had a much easier time instead of working multiple jobs and ending college in great debt.

What I am trying to say, is even if parents want to and intent to pay for their child's college, there is no guarantee that situations will allow it.

Finally, An Ethnic Question That I Can Answer - Blog Entry

26 Feb 2007 05:46 PM

side note Ed: I am one of those few people whose voice gives no hints toward ethnicity... or towards my ethnicity at least. It's funny to see the faces of people who meet me after talking to me on the phone and expect anything but me!

Ask a Baby Blogger: My Mother-In-Law and My Husband Are Against Co-Sleeping - Blog Entry

I am sorry for your loss too, Mommieofanagle

Here is a suggestion, and what we did. we kept a little bassinet next to the bed until my children were able to roll over and move about (about 5 months) before we moved them to the bed. This way I there was no problem just moving them into our bed and I often slept with one arm in the bassinet so I could sense their movements. I think it might be a good compromise? What do you think Valorie?

Too Much Information? - Blog Entry

25 Feb 2007 10:10 PM

Don't feel bad Julie... my son was not in shock. I was. They thought I had lost my mind and was being too overprotecting. Now two years ago when when we had to have THE CONVERSATION at 10, he was very shocked... but once we got past that, it was only his father and I that were left traumatized.

But either we tell him, or his friends will. That was apparent after a play session in our front yard when he came in and asked what humping was... and I live in the suburbs!
