It's been a blessing to have a pile of boy clothes that are the right size, right season!
I suspect when the baby gets to be 2 he'll have to have new clothes of his own, because my two year old is terribly hard on his while playing HA.

Oh it's fun!

We've enjoyed a hand-me-down network that involves our children's first cousins.

But you have hit upon some bedrock scientific fact: boys wear out pants.

Some of the baby and toddler stuff has made it through all four boys, but what very little beyond 4T lasts through the second, doesn't make it past the third.

I think it depends on your age. I had my first c-section in my 20's and I bounced right back, was up moving around the first day. My second and third were in my 30's and were much more difficult. My third being the worst. We are expecting # 8 in July and I will be trying to have a v-back in the hospital. I was excited to find out that we are in an area where there are doctors that will let you do v-backs.

Well I got my doctors appointment. The baby is doing good and so am I. And I had another ultrasound so we got to see our little girl again. I found out though that I will have to schedule another c-section. I really didnt want to do that, but the Lord knows best.

My first baby was a c-section, my second a v-back in the hospital, the next three v-back's at home, my sixth and seventh I tried to have at home, but ended up going the the hospital and had c-sections. Neither one of them were emergencies we just knew it wasn't going to happen at home. I am very high risk, and will be trying to have another v-back in the hospital with #8 in July. I don't know your situation, but unless you find a doctor that does v-backs most won't let you have one. This doesn't always mean you can't have one. A lot of doctors don't do them, because of malpractice insurance that doesn't allow it.

A v-back is a vaginal birth after a c-section.

Sis Santos · #**138** 02-04-2008, 05:05 PM

well i was 28 with the first one and will be 30 with this one.

Sis Santos · #**139** 02-04-2008, 05:07 PM

It looks like the hospital i am going to doesnt do vbacs because they dont have a anestetiologist (sp?) 24 hours a day.

Raul Jr was a c section 33 years ago...water to the hospital was piped in from the local river!
The doctor thought I would die because mother brought me ice...back then they thought ice was deadly for just about anyone in a hospital! He did nnot seem to worry about the dirty water.
