Quick Clarification

| 35 Comments | No TrackBacks

I realized, reading everyone's comments on my previous blog post that I left out a fairly vital detail: the baby.

According to the ultrasound - the one that determined that my baby was 'only' in the 32nd percentile - my baby is healthy. It has a good heart rate (with all 4 valves), organs are developing as they should, femur is looking good (for retardation, among other things), etc. So, other than the fact that it's smaller than the average (American?) baby, all is well with it's development.

All that's really changed is that when I go in search of food at 4 a.m., I reach for a protein shake instead of dried figs. It's a win-win situation really. The doctor's (should be) happy, I'm less hungry when I crawl back into bed and my mom gets rid of her old protein shakes from the days of cancer treatment.

And to everyone who has offered their love, support and encouragement, again, thank you.

So glad you clarified that everything is OK, and that the only thing that seems out of the ordinary is your baby's smaller than (American) average. Ummmm ... did your doctor take into account that the baby M&M is of Filipino descent? On the other issue ... hope you are not having pains from the cyst ... our cousin had/has ovarian cysts that were discovered when she was pregnant with her daughter, along with a big one that roomed with her baby - and grew with her baby (!) for the entire gestational period! I know that she was in some significant ... ummm... discomfort. If yours are small, hopefully they're not too terribly painful. Sandy had them, too, I think when she was pregnant with Chris (remember the baby? Yeah ... he'll be turning 10 in May -- and of course his brother Michael -- or Mikey when you saw him last will be 13 later this month.) If I remember correctly, Sandy's weren't terribly painful. Anyway ... baby M&M may surprise your doc, and hit a growth spurt -- you've got 2 months to go! Much love to you all :)

So...now do you know if it is boy or girl?

No, Rae, we don't.

Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to far added agreeable from you! However, how could we communicate?

I've read all of it, nice

Greetings from Carolina! I'm bored at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you provide here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my phone .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic site. Keep up the good work!

Extremely informative webpage on nutrition and weight loss. I think a lot of could advantage from reading your website consequently I am subscribing to it and telling all my buddies.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts.

I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.

I would expect you to play the race card as soon as possible in any conversation, because it is the only defense that you think cannot be addressed. Well, socialist muslim is not a race. It is a political position and religion. Obama hid those very well, during his campaign. I dont care if Obama was purple. He is a far left wing liberal that only got elected, because he claimed his black half to appease the AAs. I guess you forgot he is half white. I do not like him, becuse of his liberal socialist agenda. We will see how many of you obamamanics claim him, after he totally finshes screwing up our economy. I would expect some of you to be in denial no matter what he does. I would like to see him bring the economy around, but socializing and nationalizing our healthcare sytem is not the answer. I guess you want him to cover 12 million illegals that dont pay taxes too? I would like to see them fix medicare to cover American citizens that need healthcare, but not screw up the private healthcare industry in the process. So you can keep your obvious racial bias to yourself. Have you hugged Obamas birth certificate today? Another denial

You precisely saved me atleast 1 hour of your time. I am creating a project in this particular topic as well as your contribute helps me through among the topics of my project. I'll browse to the other pages now.

Thanks for this great post, i will post trackback from me.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Great post i enjoy reading it, and i have bookmarked your site,once again great!

Angry birds is so addictive game.

I was just looking for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.

I just added this web page to my bookmarks. I enjoy reading your posts. Ty!

The moment I saw this page was like wow. Thanks for putting your effort in publishing this article.

I am forever proclaiming that its difficult to procure quality help, but here is…

Hey there. I needed to inquire some thing…is the following a wordpress blog page as we are planning to be changing over to WP. Also did you make this theme all by yourself? Thanks.

Wow, this post is fastidious, my younger sister is analyzing such things, therefore I am going to tell her.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I completely agree, thats pretty much what I was just telling my partner!
