ebwy, I thought of something else you may want for when baby is born, vaseline. I cover baby's butt with it until those first sticky meconium poops are done. It makes it alot easier to clean baby's bottom.

that is a good idea, inever thought of doing that!
well, we are getting ready to go home...little guy is getting circumsized right now so after that we will be on our way.
can i still hang out on here even though i not pregnant any longer???

 

[Mrs. Turbo]

you can still hang with us and update the new baby pictures. I always feel bad when my boys get cut......

It is better in the long run just my opinion....

had a grilled chicken salad at mcdonalds today. I never eat a salad at McD's......sounded so good all weekend. Ate every last bite.

thanks Holly, I'll add vaseline to my list!

"meconium!" is my word of the moment, I've got a cold that makes me feel really meconium... ;-)


and MotherofLots, you'd better still hang out on here, we like you and want your advise!

I don't understand circumcision... unless it's for medical or religious reasons. It's not the normal thing over here though, I've never seen one that was circumcised. I hear it's just what you do in America, cultural differences make it weird for me and normal for you!

Circumcision over here is mostly for health benefits. Easier to keep everything clean. Plus if it wasn't done they'd have a hard time later on w/ a girlfriend/wife since it's basically expected.

I've been craving mixed drinks with this pregnancy...specifically margarites and Malibu rum.

I'm not really a big drinker and I think it's just b/c I know I'm limited. My mom has started calling the baby "Malibu" as a joke.

I've also been craving raw sushi, which I know I can't have...I love sushi!

Any guy who isn't clean isn't going to have an easy time keeping a girlfriend whether he's circumcised or not, I should imagine!
Never known a guy have any problem keeping it clean. As my fiance says, "just wash it and it's fine!" and I'd hope most men would do that with or without a foreskin, because if they don't it's revolting anyway!

I think it is just cultural differences, really.

Can't say I've ever really cared whether one was cut or not. Just happens I've not seen one that was.

I wonder why and how it because the norm over there....

Well our baby won't be circumcised although I would like it- He and I are on Medicaid, and it doesn't cover it in the state of Fl....and we don't have $200 to cover it either.


Well now I have another thing to deal with- Hypoglycemia (Dr. hasn't confirmed it, my appointment is Wednesday, but I show the signs of it)......I've had a crash about everyday (today it was 2) since they did that glucose test Thursday......I'm trying to change my diet to where I won't crash, but it's not easy....

I'm over this stuff!!

Yes, it really is quite interesting to see how different places do things differently. I was brought up just thinking that's the way it was...baby boys got circumcised. Imagine my shock when I found out some of them don't!

I had a kid when I worked in daycare that wasn't and the first time I changed his diaper I was like

there's something wrong with him!

I worked in the operating room for 7 years and saw many boys and men come through for a circumcision....... health and cleaning problems mostly. I wouldn't want to get that done when I am older....that is for sure.
