You didn't have 10 kids all the same age either.

I can see both sides. In a way I think it is good for kids to be around other kids and be away from their parents for a certain amount of time. I think that helps them gain some independence and helps them when they have to go to school later. But I don't agree with putting a child in daycare for 10 hours a day everyday.

What was I thinking!! Taking care of 1 premmie is the same as taking care of 8! Didn't everyone know that?!

Yea, I noticed the nails were gone too. Maybe Dr. Phil did do some good!!

I agree, we should all have the right to choose what is best for us. -
Should I be mad at my husband for looking at dirty pictures?
Carrie_C replied to Carrie_C's topic in The Gals' Room
I would also like to add that I have a 17 year old stepson who also uses this computer. I sure wouldn't want him finding that stuff on here either. -

Carrie_C replied to Carrie_C's topic in The Gals' Room
I don't invade my husband's privacy. I don't read his emails. I don't go looking to see what he has been looking at. I wasn't looking for the stuff when it popped in my face. That is what I have a problem with, that he downloaded it onto OUR computer that we both share. I don't want to see it and I don't want it downloaded on a computer we share. I don't think that's too much to ask. He wouldn't want naked guys in his face either if I were to download them. -
CNA's are NOT trained to take care of premmies!! CNA's are trained to mostly work in nursing homes and as techs in hospitals. They have very limited medical training. I know, because I used to be one! My training mostly consisted of how to bathe an elderly person, how to feed them, turn them, etc. There is NO training on taking care of premature babies! And when I was doing it, I didn't make much at all, only about $8. That should tell you they are not trained for little babies!

I think I would have to agree, if I found out my baby would have Downs, I would probably abort as well. Some people just can't handle things like that. There is a lot of mental illness in my family and that is one reason I don't want kids. If I were to find out something was wrong before I delivered, I would want to abort. I don't think it is right to judge women who abort for those reasons. It is no different than a woman aborting a healthy fetus just because she doesn't want it. -
Thanks! If I have any more trouble with bleeding from my pill, and if my insurance will cover it, I am definitely going to look into it. It sounds great.

newhope, thanks for you story. I am glad that you all worked it out and everything is fine now. It is easy for someone who hasn't gone through this to say just leave, but that is not so easy, especially when everything else about the marriage is great. Since our talk, my husband has not even used the computer once. -
We Need to Get Ourselves in Check...Me Included!
Carrie_C replied to crystal525's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great post! I have also been guilty of saying the same things as everyone else who posted. I compair myself a lot with others and that is my biggest problem. I have decided I am going to stop doing that! I won't say I lost only a pound. I will be happy with each one gone. There's no way I could have lost 45 pounds without the band and kept it off!!!! -
LOL!!! That's what I was thinking!

Thanks! I also don't want any children and I don't think I ever will. My husband has said that he would get a vasectomy, but I hate to do something so permanent and then change my mind in a few years. (I don't think I will, I have never had a desire to have any kids, but you never know). If I did decide to have any, it would still be a few years because I want to finish my nursing degree first. The high dose pills make me sick and I have been on the low dose ones for awhile, but I have been having a lot of bleeding. So my doctor suggested it today. I tried the nuva ring before, but I didn't like it. I could feel it and I was always scared it would come out somehow. Did you have any problems with your periods after having it? A girl I work with had it before and she said she had a lot of heavy bleeding. But I'm not sure how long she used it. Did your insurance cover Mirena? That's another thing I would have to find out before I decide.

load noise from throat, stomach noise
Carrie_C replied to seppi-bern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I think I am having the noise because I am too tight. I am going to have some removed today and see if it helps. -
I don't know how student loans work in her state, but here you have to be in school. My loans actually go directly to the school, not to me. The school takes out their part and then gives me a refund check for the difference. If you drop out half way through the semester, you have to pay some of the money back to the school and you can't get any more loans unless you had a really good reason for dropping out. But that is for government loans, I'm not sure what type she has. But from what I hear she hasn't been in school for a while, so I agree that they need to investigate.
-
You're supposed to start paying back student loans 6 months after you graduate or 6 months after you stop going to school. But you can get deferments if you are having a hard time paying them. I would guess that is what she is getting.

Should I be mad at my husband for looking at dirty pictures?
Carrie_C replied to Carrie_C's topic in The Gals' Room
We had a talk last night. I told him I don't have a problem with him looking at pictures, but I dont want them dowloaded on our computer and I don't want to see them. He says that it won't happen again. I told him that if I see anything else downloaded on this computer, I will be gone. I won't stay with someone I can't trust. I know that men are men and they are going to look. It is human nature. But downloading the stuff is going too far. -
I just read that her Dad bought the house she is moving into.

I still don't think they need to be released to her...

load noise from throat, stomach noise
Carrie_C replied to seppi-bern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have this problem too! It is terrible! I notice it more right after I have a fill. I am really embarrassed to eat around anyone. -
She said today that she has hired 12 nannies. I would like to know how she is paying for them.

My pouch closes up 4 weeks after a fill WHY?
Carrie_C replied to JWood1967's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am the same way, my stomach swells a few days or weeks after a fill. My doctors are very understanding too. -

Carrie_C replied to Carrie_C's topic in The Gals' Room
No, it is downloaded. He admitted that he downloaded it. It was in a permanet folder. He just had it labeled temporary, I guess so I wouldn't be suspecious. So when I went to upload pictures onto ebay, that file popped up instead of the usual one with the ebay pictures. -
Pregnant BEFORE lap-band??
Carrie_C replied to The Mon's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I think I would wait until I had the baby....
