BTDT unfortunately My 12 week old has been in the pediatric intensive care unit 3 times in the last month... so I know what you are going through. If you/your wife is able to stay with her in her room be sure you bring a radio to play soft music and a book for yourself to read.... Best wishes, Jen Arianna Frances

haha - Joe's great. Had lots of fun with him in FL - Rusty too Jen Arianna Frances

congrats Kel! You'll be a great nurse, you've got the perfect personality for it. People would really love having you for a nurse

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Ari got a strain of influenza that resulted in a stuffy nose and upper respitory infection. I didn't know this, but babies as young as her don't know how to breath out of their mouth unless their crying. She was very sick and didn't have the energy to cry and couldn't breath out of her nose - so instead she just stopped breathing. After giving her mouth-to-mouth she came around and got some of her color back. We brought her to the childrens hospital and I watched as they brought her into the trauma room to try to save her life. I didn't cry... must be used to all this by now. Even the sight of them giving my 6.5 lb. 8 week old a spinal tap didn't make me cry She was in the PICU for 4 days and on the regular infant floor after that. I got new perspective as I lay awake in the PICU at 2 am listening to the mother in the other room scream at her 3 year old to keep fighting and that she wasn't ready to let her go. She is home now and we're going to watch her more closely. I came so very close to losing her that I never want to play that game again. Thanks again for the well wishes, you have no idea how much they mean to me. Jen Arianna Frances

... and my daghter is in the intensive care unit... again. She's had rotten luck in her first few weeks of life. Mom's mentally and emotionally exhausted. Please say a sweet prayer for her - she'll need it Jen Arianna Frances

Afraid the little one may be coming down with a cold, so we're stuck in the house until she goes back to the doctor on Wednesday... But I've got a fantabulous cake recipe to make when we do get together So if you make something good with this oil, make it again, and show me how. Jen Arianna Frances

Whatever it is your making, I want some Jen PS. For anyone that doesn't know, Darius is a FANTASTIC cook!! Arianna Frances

Happy Birthday JP! Jen Arianna Frances

Meet congress' only elected Libertarian... unfortunately he needs to hide as a republican to get elected Jen Arianna Frances

Cost was a major factor in my decision to breast feed... But spending $300 on a pump was a big cost too! Arianna Frances

ooh congrats!! Like Andrea I did a rodeo with my friend Belinda - it was hillarious Probably the most fun I've had in the sky

Lori is right. Weight vests are bad for RW - take the weights out and put them into a belt. It will help immensely with learning what an appropriate arch will feel like, at the same time keeping you level with your group. Jen Arianna Frances

We've got 4 laptops in our house 1. Compaq 2. Dell 3. Toshiba 4. Macintosh Rated by satisfaction: Dell Toshiba Compaq Macintosh Jen Arianna Frances

Ever see that credit commercial with the guy riding his lawn mower in front of his house saying something like "I can't even afford the monthly interest on all my loans but I have lots of great new stuff and a great big house". Thats how they do it - they're in debt up to their eyeballs... it's not something to be envious of. I'd bet 90% of the US has more debt than net worth. Jen Arianna Frances

That may be true, but how many can say they own a company that has such good prospect? Jen Arianna Frances

My father's favorite saying when he was drunk (which was most of the time): "Do you know what it means to assume? ASS-U-ME. You make an ass out of you and me" Ya, pearls of f'ing wisdom dad. Jen Arianna Frances

hey.... I've got the #1 job and I don't make anything close to that... I think I need to start looking for work Jen Arianna Frances

I've even seen Schlitz neon signs popping up in liquor stores. I've been a Schlitz fan for a long time - my grandpa used to drink it and you could always find it up here. It's pretty good - still like Labatt Blue more though. Still take yingling over it though Jen Arianna Frances

Talk to Shawn and I about it - we're pretty passionate about the Libertarian party/ideals; and you know Shawn, when he's interested in something he can talk about it for hours. Plus, its a good excuse for us to come over and check out your new XBox Jen Arianna Frances

I love seeing stuff blown up. http://www.turnto10.com/news/8761994/detail.html Yes, this is big news for lil' rhody. Jen Arianna Frances

Good question... Arianna Frances

I'm a huge SOD fan... but it did take me a while to warm up to them. I remember hearing one of their songs on the radio last year and thinking "my god, these guys can't sing for sh!t"... but as I listened more and more, they got better. If you really listen to their lyrics you'll learn even more

Oh Kristen, he's just adorable! I love his smile/laugh in the first one! Jen Arianna Frances
