And for having to explain UD, and the recommended appt schedule for my condition, and for fighting to get specifics on test results only to be told "it's high, and that's really all you need to know" (referring to glucose).kyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508695629852618372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405937624063727621.post-15496045985675668322012-05-26T13:14:32.924-07:002012-05-26T13:14:32.924-07:00Samantha, thank you for that.

I appreciate them very much. <br />Well, we now have three kids and I have A LOT to say on the subject, which will be coming next week, in the wrap-up. There might be some food for thought for you in there. Three is really hard, and your concerns are valid. I wish you well with that decision!Motherhood: A Descent Into Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536244695350565096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405937624063727621.post-45199601857153564552012-05-25T08:29:44.991-07:002012-05-25T08:29:44.991-07:00Oh my... thank you so much for making me laugh so ...Oh my... thank you so much for making me laugh so hard!

Tune in tomorrow for the next dramatic installment of As The Fetus Turns. Will the baby have a club foot? Will Nate finally lose his shit from all the stress? Will Julio finally reviel his love for his sister, Juliete?ilikebeerandbabies.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641425510744950355noreply@blogger.com
