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.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
