be happy about it, if your happy- then he should be happy!!
2 :
You say "this is it" then I'm getting my tubes tied
3 :
If he is not taken precautions to avoid pregnancy he should not be to suprised!!! just tell him right away. good luck with your pregnancy.
4 :
Tell him I understand your concerns and don't want to stress you out, I didn't know how to break it to you so I am just going to come out and say it. I am pregnant. And tell him I really need your support right now. Good luck I am sure it will work out fine!!!!
5 :
Hes your hubby, you just have to flat out tell him. Not like he has any room to blame you!!! Its not your fault. Time to live with that. He will come around and love this new one just as much as the others :)
6 :
Say "Baby, I'm pregnant. I know how you feel about it and want to figure this out together." Then hear him out, explain your feelings, and reach a conclusion together.
7 :
Been there! It's scary because you want him to be happy about it. It also sounds like he loves you very much and is concerned for your health. Tell him as soon as possible. Then involve him as much as possible. Had we not had him, life would be so boring, and we have 6 all together! I'll be praying for all of you. Good luck
8 :
Pray, ask the Lord to work it out and it will go smoothly with your husband. Apparently God needs that little soul in the earth for a reason.
9 :
Okay that a hard question to answer. I can understand him not wanting to risk your health or the childs health with another conception and c-section. Here is my concern though, having the knowledge that you have endemetriosis, and having to live with that and the pain that can come with it, why RISK getting pregnant? Were you guys using protection? or birth control? All you can do is be upfront and honest with him. Tell him that you understand his concern for your well being and a childs as well. Just let him know, Its a hard question hun...
10 :
Just try telling him straight. Just bring it up. It is not going to be easy so just get it done. Or you can try at the dinner table. Start with can you pass the potatoes and by the way I am pregnant. Good Luck and Best Wishes with the new one.
11 :
hi well you should be happy i am sure he will be to it's a baby .ok heres what to do and trust me i know what i am talking about tack him some where alone and light a few candeales sorry if my spelling is off but light a few candeales and make sure everything is right and tell him you love him and make him happy in nice sweet ways that he likes that only you know if you have to make every thing best like plain a good time to tell him let him know your happy not sad or anything i am sure it will be fine trust me do what i told you things like that work a lot hope it all works out good luck and by the way congratulations about your baby.
12 :
just tell him. he will be there with you through everything.
13 :
wait till hes in a calm mood and just tell him
14 :
Just tell him--it's not something you did by yourself, you know. He's as much to blame as you so he can't get mad.

Why do some opponents of health reform keep repeating the following untrue statements

Why do some opponents of health reform keep repeating the following untrue statements?
They claim that starting next year, you're going to have to start paying taxes on your health benefits - No you won't. They claim that Congress is exempt from the health reforms. No they're not. The same rules apply to them as apply to anyone else. They claim that all pre-existing conditions are the result of a lifestyle choice. Tell that to the child who develops Juvenile Arthritis, or the person who is told they have Multiple Sclerosis, or the mother of a child with Leukemia. Are you that short on truths that you have to resort to lies?

It's just hate/fear rhetoric. Most will now vote out their Reps if the benefits are taken away. Exclusions. No more. Pre-Existing Conditions. No more Kids on your policy till age 26. Obanumisn must have been born yesterday, also.
2 :
They repeat what lobbyists tell them to say.
3 :
Cons seem to enjoy kicking people when they are down and blaming the victims . It is truly so cruel .
4 :
I've never heard one person argue those points. Where did you get them?
5 :
They've been hornswoggled by the right-wing media.
6 :
Your arguments are not factual. lp

There's a VERY FEW Billionaires who are scared to death of this healthcare thing. They might not be getting enough Tax Cuts anymore -and they tell their lies through the right wing media stations - FOX FAKE "News" - (it's Fair and Balanced, remember) - and Clear Channel - home of Lush Limbo and his River of Hate Radio Show. All the right wing idiots in this country are just being moved around like pawns by the right wing media - creator of the fake TeaBag Movement.

http://insurancenewsnet.com/article.aspx?id=191538&type=lifehealth A tax will be imposed on employers on Cadillac insurance plans in 2018. 40%. It is estimated that health insurance for a family of 4 will cost $28,000 by 2018. This cost will undoubtedly be passed on to the employee or the employee will have to buy health insurance elsewhere. I have heard that people who smoke or are obese will pay more for insurance. It would be really special if the democrats would actually, honestly, do a bullet point on what is actually in the bill but they love the controversy and the fact that employers are at a standstill because they don't know how this will effect them. All they say are generalities like 32 million more will be covered, we will squeeze every dime on medicare, etc. They don't want to tell you your state taxes are going to go through the roof becausse 16 million are going to be added to medicaid. They don't tell you that rather than driving down the cost of health care, they are driving it up. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_premiums Look what is happening already. This is not going to be good for anybody.

How do I go about adoptiong a dwarf child

How do I go about adoptiong a dwarf child?
My husband and I are looking into adoption. We have been married for just over 2 years and are both in our mid twenties. For the past year we have been talking about adoption because my husband was adopted and wants to help a child. As a nurse, I have worked with many dwarf children, many of whom are living with foster parents. After looking into risks and health issues, my husband has agreed that we will be able to handle a dwarf child. Does anyone know any organizations that specialize in dwarf child adoption? Has anyone gone through any agencies?

I believe the correct term is "Little people." You might get that right before adopting.
2 :
That's awesome! I can try to look up some agencies for you! i know a lot of people at the LPA who were adopted and I can talk to their parents. I'm a little person, and the correct term is dwarf. But little person is easier.
3 :
There is this awesome all christian agency that is REALLY super cool! It is called America World Adoption Agency. My family adopted one beautiful girl from china through them, and we are completely satisfied! We are actually in the process of adopting another! This agency not only lets you adopt from several countries, but also has a special needs list. Being a dwarf would fall into this category. Some other special needs include: elbino, down syndrome, blind, deaf, clef lip and palate, and minor heart problems. There are also other agincies that you could go through. The thing I like about AWAA is that its an all Christian agency, but who knows what your religion is????! Hope this helped!!!!
