    Its still not working.
    It wants me to try the sample video.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    no, you're not doing anything wrong, it is the sample video that you should watch. The birth is not shown until about the 6 minute mark.

    We watched a video almost exactly the same in prenatal class.
    The computer generated stuff was actually the same exactly.
    But the one we watched was like from the late 80s.
    This one was better. Also not as long. The placenta delivery
    is actually the grossest part to me. :D

    I wish my computer didnt buffer so much though.

    what does your husband think about the birth? will he be watching?

    It was a C section. I was sitting next to my wife's head, with a curtain blocking the view. I could have easily stuck my head over the curtain to catch the action, but would rather not see insides

    If it was a natural birth do you think you would have been interested in seeing it? have you seen videos?

    Thats insanity.
    Did you want them to feed at the same time?
    Just to get it over with all at once.
    Or was it nice to have one on one time without the other?
    There were days that they would feed 10 times in one day(24hr.period)...that's x's 2 so 20 feedings...I would much rather have one on one time with them but, I also wanted some time to breath!!

    You guys speak of going hours without feeding... there will be growth spurts that they will want to feed within an hour. Everyday is different....peace and patience to all!!:D

    just wanted to say hi my fellow preggos! ;)

    i went to the DR on Monday & last Friday b/c they wanted to see me b/c of my high blood pressure..Friday it was still high & they ordered me to rest & take it easy all weekend, and to be seen on Monday..Monday it was back down to normal..so my mom who is a nurse is going to check it twice this week & make sure its staying down & then go from there. I was hoping this would be enough of a reason to do an ultrasound...but no such luck! Its killing me! We still dont know what our babys sex is! We've already had our 2 ultrasounds..so we may not get anouther one unless the Doc orders it..and so far, baby is all healthy..so there is no need for one! Which is good....but i wanna know! This baby is definitely stubborn like my boyfriend & i already! haha!

    Im glad to hear everything went well after the weekend.

    Im in the same boat as you. I really want to know. But since
    Im due in 6 weeks I could have it even sooner than that. Theres
    no need to try to squeeze another one in. Patience young paduan.
    I just hav to keep saying that. I did have a dream last night and I
    had a boy. But Ive had dreams about girls before too.

    blue better. Im hopeing I havent jinxed myself.

    Im starting to wonder when this is all gonna happen.
    In the morning? Late at night? Im sorta hopeing for
    a birth during the day so I dont feel to outa wack.
    Everything seems to be aproaching so fast. My belly
    really isnt very big though. So I feel like its still eons
    away. I think if I was bigger I might feel different.

    My belly is so big that I can't imagine that it's going to get bigger! The other night, my husband touched it and said "oh my god, is the baby made of iron??" because it's so hard and tight! lol :) I'm scared to think that I still have like 10 weeks left to grow!

    See thats what everyone is like. I can still fit my old jeans. They dig
    when I sit so I dont wear them but they fit. I have gained 30lbs. But
    I really dont know where cause everything fits the same. Even my bras.

    I would have been in the room, but I don't think I would really want an up close look. I'm not a squeamish guy, but there are just some things I do not want to see

    Hellfish how are your honeys war wounds?[/quote]

    Slowly getting better. We were at both Dr's today. She is doing well, not back to 100% like she wants, but it's only been 6 days. Jack is doing great. The Dr. told us not to use wipes, just Bounty and warm water. The wipes usually lead to a rash. On a side note, one nurse at the hosp told us she has a brother who has 2 kids, 9 1/2 months apart. Can you believe that? Of course I asked her if #2 was conceived in the hospital.

    Im due in 6weeks.
    Im going to a Deftones concert tonight!!! :D
    And Im sorta dissapointed Im not gonna be able to
    get right up close to the stage. Ive never been a shy one.
    But standing for like 3hrs would be too hard.

    Im trying to figure out whos gonna babysit for me if PJ comes
    close enough for me after the baby. I figure we can drive to
    a Montana show if we have to. Ill just have to highjack one
    of my nieghbours kids to take along and babysit for a couple hours.

    Im not going to stand.
    The concert was originally supposed to be at a smaller
    venue but it sold so well they moved it to the arena.
    So they are saying the first however many will have thier
    floor seats honoured. And anyone who wants to sit in the
    stands is more than welcome. So thats what we will do.
    I wouldnt be able to go that long without wanting to sit
    on the floor. And security automatically thinks anyone
    sitting on the ground is drunk or high. They would hassle
    me to get up. Ive had it happen at other shows. I even
    got told to not rest my head on the table when I had a
    headache at a show once. They thought I was out of it.
    And told me if I continued I would be asked to leave.
