It just seems so... for lack of a better word, unAmerican.<br /><br />Then again, I went to school with a girl named (and I swear I am not making this up) Choco Fudge, so maybe the Swiss are on to something.<br /><br />Regardless, congrats again!

And wh...Very cool. Loved to read the differences.<br /><br />And what are you talking about!!!!???? You look AWESOME in every photo. Doesn't even look like you were in the hospital and just had a baby. Lucky girl.<br /><br />Oh.....and isn't it great to have that ALL over with BEFORE Christmas?? I bet it feels good that all 5 will be with you enjoying this Christmas under the tree.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650386366226859611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830299480910238943.post-69871828499395521582010-12-17T11:30:09.173-08:002010-12-17T11:30:09.173-08:00If having babies was half that easy for me I'd...If having babies was half that easy for me I'd have 5, too.

Seriously. I wonder how much "traditional medical wisdom" I can defy here. Like the glucose tolerance test. Did you have to do that in Switzerland? My husband is trying to convince me I should just refuse it, because I hate it, and I've never had any issues and I eat a pretty different diet than most Americans.<br /><br />But then again, it already sends the medical staff into a complete panic when I refuse the rhogam shot (Neil and I are both Rh negative), and they ask me about a bajillion times, "Are you absolutely, 100%, without a doubt positive that your husband is the father?" And then they say mysteriously, "You'd be surprised at how often women don't know for sure..."<br /><br />ANyway, I really would like to hear if you had to do the stupid glucose tolerance test. And I'm glad you talked Brett into two r's, because Orrin Sackett is awesome. (Hmm, maybe I should just name this baby Sackett. Or Barnabas.)Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296225105026623275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830299480910238943.post-9729764553827316702010-12-17T08:23:31.990-08:002010-12-17T08:23:31.990-08:00Kayli, it is more embarrassing that you don't ...Kayli, it is more embarrassing that you don't know how to spell "kind of" than what you said. Grammar in this day and age. I tend to say "ow" loudly. Not with the head though, my babies' heads are tiny, but Cowen's shoulders, oh my. <br /><br />I think I would like to deliver there--much more laid back. I have to go to yet ANOTHER ultrasound for no good reason so my doctor will be allowed to try a vbac after two c's. Insurance. I fork out $500 so my doctor's insurance can't drop her. I rarely say anything about the States health care because I don't know enough--but this stinks. <br /><br />PS--Timothy's latest name for our baby is Mountain Princess. At least he doesn't want to spell it Mntn Prncs. At least, I don't think so.<br /><br />I must get my children out of bed. Sad.

The only one I stayed in for longer than one night was Brooklyn.

And it makes you wonder if all those precautions they do and tell us are REALLY that important? I guess with all the paranoia of suing etc here in the states, they have to lean towards the cautious side. I couldn't handle having 3 other women in the same room! One is bad enough. I like my privacy. 3 weeks, wow! I'm hoping I'm not more than a week early like I was with Harrison. Enjoy your tiny new baby during this Christmas season! At least now you don't have to worry about having your baby right in the thick of Christmas activities, although you would have probably had him early anyway. He's a cutie!
