Yeah I wasn't going to chime in on this. But I HATE ferets. Some animals are not meant to be cute, fuzzy little pets. I have 3 perfectly spaced teeth marks ripped into my four-arm. And this is 14 years after the bite! Dont like anything really in the weasle family as an option for a pet.

Guess they are fine for some, but not for me, or my home. lol

Really?? hmm I really thought I was being super picky with this stuff, but, I can see your point. I am changing it quite often, explain poop board, I've heard it mentioned but, never seen one? mine have a roost, they poop under it and I clean it up? if there is a better way please indulge me!!! lol!

I'm still pretty new --- but do a search on BYC for poop boards, there are quite a few with pictures

basically it's a wide board or shelf or tray, that sits spaced a little ways underneath the roost board, usually with a lip on it (some people recommend using plastic boot trays -- or shallow rubbermaid type containers), usually lightly filled with sand or Sweet PDZ, or covered with melamine or something that poo won't stick to ... so when the chickens let go, it winds up on this poo board rather than on the floor of the coop --

easier to scoop or scrape a small space that catches the majority of the night-poo

thanks! I will!

Ok I'm caught up now....

RFF- DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!!!! I know it is easier said than done.... but this is a wonderful miracle you are supposed to be experiencing. It is one of the greatest joys in a woman's life. Whether she is perfectly "normal" or has a disability...... SHE IS YOURS! You loved her long before you found out anything MIGHT be wrong.... and you will love her forever after also.

Yeah...I know. I am just beyond stressed and miserable. I told DH tonight I don't want to ever do this again (have kids). I have always
heard pregnancy is wonderful & beautiful...but I'm just sobbing, stressed and worried to the point I'm throwing up. My hair is falling out.

I am just a mess!! I will probably switch doctors and not anything against my doctor but I think I'd like someone with more experience and someone who is not afraid to be upfront and tell it like it is. I mean at this point, there is not a thing we can do...whether it's a heart defect, Tri 21, etc. It's pretty much in God's hands at this point...I'm just the incubator and have to deal with it.

Heather, I have to disagree....it is against your doctor. She is evidently out of her element with this pregnancy and you need a more experience and assured doctor.....GIRL....You just said your hair is falling out....that is not good. You are throwing up all the time NOT GOOD. True, if there is a defect of some type, it is not the doctors fault. BUT, they are not helping to reassure you. They are messing up VERY important appts. You SHOULD be enjoying yourself. It is in God's hands, but this is still should be a decent experience for you. I can understand your stress, don't get me wrong. Honey, go to another doctor NOT IN THAT CLINIC. Sorry I keep yelling at you. Go to Wenatchee, go to Spokane. Go to a long established OB/GYN. Find someone who specializes in high risk pregnancies. Have your doctor refer you to someone. Talk with your MIL...find someone to take care of you. this is not right. PLEASE, I beg you, for your health as well as the babies, do this. Please keep me updated. You will be in my prayers tonight. Keep in touch.

I second that!!! With my twins, I had to drive all the way up to Tacoma to see a multiple specialist because of my age. It was a drive but the man was awesome! Very knowledgeable! You need to get some peace in you so that your stress doesn't affect our pregnancy. It is so sad that they have you to the point of never wanting to have another child! Travesty! This is just what happened to my neighbor. They told her downs, no downs. They told her birth defects, no birth defects. They had her sick like you. Just not right. You are in our prayers! For health and strength and resolve!

and this for that Dr
