rodrizuezequal!!! Way to go. A girl. That's really exciting. Hope she and you are doing fine now. You must be exhausted. You're young! You can handle it.

Sorry you had to spend that time in the hospital, but 35 weeks is pretty good isn't it? I think our twins were born at 32 weeks. (not mine, my DIL's)

I do hope you feel like keeping in touch and letting us know how you're doing!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Yeah apparently I make small babies. She's 3 pounds and she's still in the NICU...hopefully only a little longer It's hard to leave without them. My son was born at 32 weeks.

Congratulations on your new baby. May God bless her. Patty

Thank you. By the way in the NICU there is a baby next to mine that was born on Methadon and across from my baby is one they are trying to find a home for because the mother snuck out of the hospital leaving a note that said she didn't want it...they still haven't found that baby a home...sad.

That is sad. I hope they find a nice home for the baby. Babies are very adoptable. I'm sure they will find a home for him or her. I personally know of a few families that want to adopt babies. Too bad there is soooo much red tape involved.

[rodriguezequal 3]

I am disgusted that I have to sit with my baby next to this drug addicted mother while her poor baby cries in pain all day! If anything they need to find that baby a home! This woman has 8 other kids at home and this is her second one born on drugs! Makes me sick!

patty on adoption: "Too bad there is soooo much red tape involved. "

Thank goodness that there is so much red tape involved. Baby trafficking, abuse, snuffing and a whole gamut of bad things can happen to babies who are not wanted. They need to be protected from those who would appear on the surface to be simply people who wish to become parents, but who are actually very bad, bad people who are a threat to the lives of unwanted children.

[BJean 16]

Rodriquez, when our twins were in the NICU we were postitioned next to two babies who were addicted and who were going through terrible seizures and constant crying. It was breathtakingly painful to watch! I wish you had a quieter place to nurture your sweet little girl.

[rodriguezequal 3]

It disgusts me...I may ask the nurses tomorrow if they can move that baby...they bring 3 people to see it everytime I'm there and thier loud and it's distracting when my baby is trying to eat...we'll see

[BJean 16]

Good luck. We didn't have much luck getting them to move either us or the other sad tiny babies. They finally shoved our NICU cribs a bit further away from them when some others left. We turned our rockers with our backs to them and that helped a little.

[rodriguezequal 3]

This baby isn't even a preemie. she weighs almost 8 pounds...she's just addicted to drugs. Hopefully my lil one will be coming home next week sometime...I hope!

Another right wing extremist's views on disabled children, abortion and women.

State Delegate Bob Marshall ® of Manassas says disabled children are God's punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.

He made that statement Thursday at a press conference to oppose state funding for Planned Parenthood.

"The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children," said Marshall, a Republican. (

a republican? :frown: are

you shocked?)

"In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There's a special punishment Christians would suggest."

Crazy, yes, but just remember, this is the same guy who also said that:

*"[W]e have no business passing this garbage out and making these co-eds chemical Love Canals for these frat house playboys in Virginia." (with regard to contraception)

*"It is as much a chain as ankle bracelets were as to African-Americans in the 1860s in this state. It’s just invisible. But it is a chain of death that we’re not going to escape." (comparing the economic recovery package to slavery)

*"ometimes incest is voluntary" ((talking about abortion in the case of incest)

*"[T]he woman becomes a sin-bearer of the crime, because the right of a child predominates over the embarrassment of the woman." (with regard to rape)

When people say things like that it all I can think is...if your god would intentionally give a baby a disability based on the actions of the mother, I don't want to "accept him in my heart" he isn't worthy..........

God doesn't "give" people disabilities. The world we live in is the world we have made it into. When a person eats food that is bad for them, and their arteries get clogged, is it God's fault that he ends up with heart disease? When a mother uses drugs or smokes cigarettes while she is pregnant, is it God's fault that the baby may come out with an addiction or with a low birth weight? No. Our heredity plays a big part in our babies outcome as well. If our extended family had children that were mentally slow, there is a chance that generations down the road a child will be born mentally slow. This is not God "intentionally" giving a disability to a baby. This is life, and the consequences for sin entering the world when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," God said. Death was not supposed to be for mankind when God created us. But because sin entered the world, God had to allow death. Disease is a part of all that. So, while God "allows" things in life to happen, he does not intentionally cause them to happen to people.
