I am not your doctor, and quite frankly I've been very concerned about your weight gain and swelling and since I KNOW your history, I think you need to just go get that baby out! RIGHT NOW! Forget getting your tubes tied if you aren't ready to make that decision. Send your hubby to get snipped later! You CANNOT die! Do you understand? Who will be around to take pictures of poop in the pool? G.O. H.A.V.E T.H.E.B.A.B.Y!

The second pregnancy was a complete shock; she was (over)due for corrective surgery on her insides that had gotten pushed around, a hernia and abdominal muscles that had been stretched to the limit during the triplet pregnancy. The new pregnancy was discovered during the pre-surgery physical. So the surgery was delayed and she ended up with four children under age two! When she told me the story the children were 10 & 12 and she said that the first three to four years were a complete blur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-13425042000518762772007-06-19T16:07:00.000-05:002007-06-19T16:07:00.000-05:00Hang in there!

My mom and grandma helped me and they kept telling me that mine were close too. You will be so happy once they are trained! Have faith. I will pray for you and a healthy delivery of your baby boy.

I thought maybe that way you could use whichever one is potty trained against the others, i.e. "Don't you want to be a big girl/boy like _____?" Would that work? I don't know, I've certainly fished my fair share of poop out of the bath tub so I feel for you.<BR/><BR/>As far as the VBAC/c-section goes, if I were in your shoes I would hold out 'til the end and go for a VBAC. But that's only because I'm extremely stubborn, not because I necessarily think it would be best in this circumstance. From the outside looking in, it seems like a section would be best but I also know how doctors try to scare the wits out of you. Good luck choosing, I know you'll do what's best and right for you and baby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-32107566569182509602007-06-19T11:41:00.000-05:002007-06-19T11:41:00.000-05:00Every blog leaves me in stitches and with a smile ...Every blog leaves me in stitches and with a smile on my face.

We're starting, too, and with triplets, I'm finding myself covered in sweat by the end of every potty rotation. It's not "bad", it just requires a lot of traffic control and quick footwork on my part. Who needs the gym? If Grandma is ready and willing, I say, "You go, Grandma!" And bless her for it. <BR/><BR/>And GET THAT BABY OUT. That c-section is going past "elective" fast. You were miraculously blessed, lucky, whatever, with the amazing health of your trio. Don't go to that scary place twice if it's at all within your power. You can "what if" the VBAC for the rest of your life and still be content. You can't "what if" Nemo's life.<BR/><BR/>-Debbie, someone who would really hate to not have you aroundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-2092789081698671132007-06-19T09:51:00.000-05:002007-06-19T09:51:00.000-05:00spare charlie and yourself a little stress. schedu...spare charlie and yourself a little stress. schedule the section and take a breather on that one. good luck! i can't wait to see pictures AND hear the name. and God bless your mama. the GPs always get better potty results. :)The Comershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695532976363613582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-75791309331723406752007-06-19T09:48:00.000-05:002007-06-19T09:48:00.000-05:00What's so wrong with Nemo?
