Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

| General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

We are adjusting well so far...Go to the Dr. today for him, for his checkup. He's a little jaundiced but nothing bad. Will see if he's gained weight, or lost weight...Poor baby also has to get bloodwork done today as well.
Here's a pic of me, Cruz and Marishka (big sister)... (Don't mind me, I look like total crap, and I don't care!  )
And one of just Cruz... (Yes I am a proud Mommy!)

Thanks Kerri!
We went to the Dr...My lil guy had to get blood drawn...I cried with him. I couldn't stand listening to him in pain. 
Good news from the visit is that he's already gained 4oz in less than a week! AWESOMENESS! Normally it takes them a week to a week and a half to gain back to their original birth weight, and my big boy has already done that and passed it! Woohoo!
Bad news from the visit is that he is severely jaundiced. They ordered the special lights to help reverse the jaundice, and they are going to be delivered tomorrow morning. Will have to use the lights for a week, and then that's when both he and I go back for another appointment.
So far everything is on track, and he's doing well.

I like tangerine babies!!!
Hopefully the bilirubin gets into check soon for you. I cried when my son had to get blood drawn too, those heel sticks are mean!!
Keep up the good work! Stay hydrated! (Breast feeding or not--push those fluids!)

My wife's water broke 3 months early, so after many issues, many nights in the multiple hospitals, helicopter rides, & just being a new very nervous 1st time father didn't take to well to when the doctor taking blood & making my new born cry. Even thought I knew it was gonna happen, I may have been was a little overly protective but they let me come back still & I haven't missed a visit yet, lol. I definitely know how you feel!

Your children are beautiful! Don't worry about the jaundice. My second son came home with lights for a week, but at a 3-day check, he was already finished. Short visits outside (with appropriate protection) help speed up the process. Congratulations!

We got the "lights"...Turns out it's a belly band that has to be worn at all times, unless changing his diaper or bathing him. His bilirubin levels were pretty high..15.4 on a scale of 0.0-10.0...So we absolutely have to have this on him for the entire week...
He doesn't like the band, but at least I know he's getting the therapy he needs. It's a bright blue lighted band... Might actually comfort him at night since I use a round LED light when I change his diaper at night...Hmmm...
Thanks for the compliments on my kiddos...I tried hard with them.  Their skin tones are very nice, and my daughter doesn't burn, (unlike her momma.) Guess that's what you get when you have a way-white momma and a dark Hispanic daddy.
