Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

And good luck with your move. Quite a timing for moving!

I had to do it just four days after my first child was born.

I hope you get lots of help with everything!

a big brother!! I am flying to CA on Wednesday (11/7) to pick up his new baby

sister. She is 10 weeks old, Chinese (like Mac) and has DS (also like Mac)!

She also had surgery shortly after birth for duodenal atresia when they also

inserted a g-tube due to her poor ability to suck. She has primarily been tube

fed since that time, but in the past few weeks has begun to drink minimal

amounts from a bottle which is very good news. She also has tetralogy of fallot

and will need heart surgery in the future--hopefully around late spring/early

summer. Currently she is doing very well, she is on one medication (Endural

(?)) and has been breathing on her own for almost 4 weeks and was released from

the hospital almost 3 week ago.

Congratulations! What exciting news. Is your daughter from China or of

Chinese descent? My daughter was adopted from China 4 years ago...that is

why I ask. Good luck with the new baby. Did everyone tell you that 1 child

+ 1 child = 4 children??? LOL! Have a safe trip.

Wow, Sue. That is a tough situation. I hope things work out for them, but

if the baby is subsequently dx'd with Down syndrome, you'll be the best

person there for mom and dad.

Hi Everyone,

I brought my sister home from the hospital today, she has been having

contractions, but her Dr. said she could go home after they kept her

overnight and did a bunch of tests. She is on strict bed rest. The Dr. moved

up her C-section to next Friday, the 15th, she'll be almost 36 weeks by then.

Hopefully she'll make it that long.

Congratulations on your new daughter. How wonderful to see these healthy,

happy babies being born to mgb moms!

Hi Everyone,

I don't thik I've posted since October, but I wanted everyone to know

that another healthy MGB baby girl has arrived. Grace came

on May 17th at 2:25 am after 14 hours of labor and a c-section. She

is doing wonderfully.

If I'm doing the math right,I am 21 month post op. I have already

lost all the preganncy weight plus 2.5 lbs and I am still really

swollen from 3 days of IVs. My appetite really increased the 2nd

half of the pregnancy. I was a little scared about the futrue of my

mgb, but immediately my appetite has returned to a much more

reasonable mgb level which is taking a little getting used to.

I am only 27 lbs away from my 1st goal weight and excited to get back

on the journey with mynew, beautiful daughter.

I realize that you may not believe this yet... but you are sooo.... lucky!

When that baby grows up, their resiliency may surpass your own. What else can

a parent hope for their child?

Be sure to develop that possibility--

-- You're not babbling at all. Unfortunately, I would guess that the

most responsible answer is ... " who knows? " Your son could have

achondroplasia. He could have another type of dwarfism. Or he might not have

any form of dwarfism at all. You will just have to wait and see.

Regardless of what type of dwarfism your son does or does not have, welcome,

and good luck!

I thought dwarfism could be tested with amniocentesis (sp?) ??
