Moms who have had a CVS

Can someone describe the physical experience of having a CVS? Not the procedure itself, but how it felt first hand...did it hurt, what was your down time following, etc.

There's a mom on a forum who is wanting to know and not many of us there have had one.

Thanks!!

  3. Hum I am down with M on this one... I really like it as an alternative to Walgreens when available. Though I have never HAD a CVS OR a Walgreens..

    Then? Why is Randa asking about Concurrent Versions System?

    I currently use TortoiseSVN! Though again I would hardly call it having "had" one.

    What I do have is a sweet front end Visual SVN for my SVN DB! It rocks compared to the standard tortoise windows interface!

    This site looked like it might be of some help to that mom.

  6. I had CVS done with Larkin. You meet with a counselor first then drink a bottle of water so your bladder is full. On the table you recline and there is a tv screen up on the wall so you can see everything. A sono tech has an ultra sound on top of your belly the entire time. The doctor inserts a speculum and threads a long needle through which then cuts off a piece of the placenta. The worst part is the full bladder, speculum. Afterward there is some cramping and they ask that you stay off of your feet. I rode home tired and laid down for the rest of the evening. No bleeding or other issues.

    As a couple they should know exactly what they want to do before knowing the results. Furthermore I'll be willing to bet they won't terminate (if that is what they are thinking) after seeing their baby on that sono.

    And you can tell her that the CVS was wrong. So don't go in thinking that tests are perfect - but my girl Larkin sure is.

Streamlining the Blogs

I know it's been forever, and yes, Facebook is much to blame.  For as long as I held out and didn't join, now I see it's simplicity (and it's ability to suck up all my online time!!). BUT--After much pondering, I've decided I'm not giving up on blogging! Sometimes a narrative or story will be better served in a blog format, so I'm combining blogs into one.   Intentional Family  is our new all-in-one blog for the goings on of our family, Braska's progress, celebrations, and challenges, as well as the amazing rise of little sister Kinlee. Other places you could check out if you so choose would be our new business  Larae Photography LLC on Facebook  or on the web at  www.Larae-Photo.com , or the page for my hobbies-gone-busy  Just RK Designs . So if there ARE any blog readers still out there, please come on over to the new place and join up for the ride.  All the old posts from the 3 previous blogs will be there soon so you can catch up if you ...

New Fave-o Site

Get a cup of good hot chocolate, put on your comfy clothes, and settle in with some non-rushed time to check out Dan Drinker's site . I can't even tell you how much I love watching these videos and reading what his family has written about him. I feel like I want to tune into the Dan Drinker 24-hour channel or something. Dan is a young man with DS who is living and loving life, and his younger brother Will captures much of it on video. It's priceless, in my opinion. I just love it. Check out the blog, watch some videos, tell them that you've been there. I wish this guy lived near me! The most recent post, about Breaking Up with Christine , is funny and poignant. Here's a couple of my other favorite videos so far... I've still got more to watch! His 7th Prom A Basketball Date with Sarah
