Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 maria, Please be careful regarding the gas leak!!! That can be so dangerous. My Mom knew exactly what I needed...and I need to remember her advise more. We tend to get so caught up in controling things that we tend to forget our trust in Him. elle 15 weeks 4 days > Hi Elle, > I love your mother's advise!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Elle and Joanne, I have a friend who choose not to know the sex of the baby. They asked the doctor to write it down and seal the envelope. They had already selected baby items for both a boy and girl. They gave the envelope to someone in the store, who made the appropriate bedding set. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both and I were tested before starting IVF, but I'll double check with my doctor to be sure they looked at our blood types for RH negativity. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 : That is neat so they will be surprised by the bedding set to. I hope they like it . Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Elle: I was a little confused there. Sorry How do you like living there as compared to TX? Our next family trip when RJ gets a little older is going to be to San . We hear that it is wonderful. I think it is a great idea to have the holidays at home. Especially the first year of a babies life. All that running around can really get them off kilter. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 , I'm sure you are not RH-. You would have had to have the RhoGam with your mc and ep, but it's always best to double check just in case! elle > > My bloodtype is AB-, which means I have RH negativity.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Joanne, Texas is home and we really love and miss it, but this has been a wonderful experience. I believe Mark and I have both grown, together and individually. We have a much greater appreciation for the freedoms and luxeries of the States. Unfortunately, things we all take for granted in the States, truly are luxeries. I will always feel blessed for the opportunity we have had here. San is a wonderful place!!! The people are so friendly and for a big city, it still has a small town flavor to it. There is so much to do and see in and around San . Austin is only about a one hour drive and it is gorgeous too! Between San and Austin is the Texas Hill Country, which is breathtakingly beautiful! I would not suggest going in the summer, unless you are used to extreme heat. It is not uncommon for the days to be 110 degrees. My favorite times are Spring, especially when the bluebonnets and indian paint brush flowers have bloomed. Talk about gorgeous! My other favorite time is Fall. When you get ready to go, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have, or if you need suggestions, I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. elle 15 weeks 5 days > Elle: > > I was a little confused there.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Elle, Hi. I am so glad to hear all is going well. many people tell me that there is that moment in delivery when the Dr. > says, " It's a _______! " that they wouldn't trade for anything. Plus, > it's really the only time the spotlight is on DH during the pg. He > gets to run out and make the announcement to everyone. Thanks, I never even thought of that...when my dh is feeing jealous I will have to tell him that one...I am sure he hasn't thought of that either! I am so excited that we are waiting, I can't wait to hear the dr make the announcement, I know the head will probably just be coming out and I will be asking, driving the dr nuts! 24 Weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
