I am going to be a first time father later today. My wife is having contractions now 10:00am, but it will be a long while before she dilates full. I am very nervous, but excited. Please send your prayers for a healthy boy and a safe delivery for Mom. I will post a picture in a week or so. Thanks for everyone's support over the past 9 months. You guys are truly amazing people. God Bless!

Good Luck!!!

Tip: If she's breastfeeding, tell her it really helps to put a pillow over your belly and breastfeed...takes the preasure off the wound and it doesn't hurt then to hold baby on belly!

Little Levi is perfect. He is a healthy 7 1/2 lbs and 19 1/2 inches long. Cute as can be. I feel a little guilty because i dont feel as close to him as i thought. Maybe it just takes some time. Mom is doing good and we should be home by friday. Thanks for all of your prayers and support.

That's great! :D

BTW, I think it's normal to feel the way you do. Takes some time and adjustment.

So glad everything went well and that you will be together at home soon. Enjoy a good nights sleep tonight, they may be hard to come by for a bit. Don't be concerned about not feeling as close as you thought you would, that will come in time. After all you don't really know each other yet. Wait til the first time he lights up when you walk in the room or the first bottle when he looks at you with such love just because your holding him close. Be patient with yourself and enjoy.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
