Well we've been "rythmic" for 2-3 years now, and hasn't worked yet, I think we are going to have to go in vitro, and probably donor egg which means BIG bucks, and she is at the age where her health insurance won't do much for her... It mostly covers the testing and so forth, and as I understand it, once she's pregnant everything is covered, but no help on getting her that way...

Possibly, though that site looks to me like it's pretty heavy on the "junk science" side of the scale. I read a bunch of their articles and they seemed to be getting far more speculation out of their material than the researchers who authored it seemed to be saying... We both eat a great deal of meat since we are low carbing - we love animals, they're delicious... but lately we've been doing more chicken and turkey as a percentage of the mix...
Some of that's because of the price of beef, some is an effort to reduce slightly the amount of fat as well as carbs.

UPDATE
Cole is doing great over 14 pounds at 3 months.
When he grows up I now have someone that can moved hearthstones without bitching

I created a website about his club feet and how he is doing

Rod, my oldest daughter was born with one foot turned completely in (in 1968) and had very similar therapy without the surgery. She had to have a cast on the one leg and then she was fitted with the snowboard brace as you call it. Her brace was metal and had adjustments and angles with the hard sole white hightop children's shoes attached to the brace. Then the angles were adjusted as her foot moved. She had to sleep in it as well. Her feet turned out great and I know Cole's will too. Bless his heart!

Rod, I'm so happy baby Cole is doing so well. Before you know it, his old man will have a hard time keeping up with him. Congrats

 

[Corie]

I agree with everyone Rod, its great to hear that the baby is doing well.

I was born with the same thing as Cole and as you can see from meeting me in person, I walk just fine, you'd never know (unless I told you) that I had to wear all sorts of silly braces as a child!

Even though they weren't painful I can still remember my grandfather refusing to put them on me because he said they made me look like some type of robot! haha

 

[begreen]

Nothing tears at the heart as when your child is ailing. It's great that this is working out so well Rod. Cole and dad look like happy campers now!

 

[Harley]

Best wishes for you and your family, Rod - that is amazing progress, and thank you for sharing that. I'm sure Cole will be outrunning you and no time at all

Glad to hear everything is going well Rod.

 

[hearthtools]

I figured as much, but thought I could tease you a bit about it... BTW I liked the shot on your web page, with the speech balloon better.

YES, congratulaitons indeed. Just a few years and you'll be teaching the fine art of kindling splits.

Mrr and Mrs Rod- congrats on new baby! Was looking at posts and came across yours. I just have to ask...did you have a postpartum nurse names of Jennifer? She moved outside Fresno- is working at hospital there- don't know which one- she moved from Bradenton. Florida a couple years ago- have not kept in touch- a very, very good nurse! Mrs GVA- I LOVE the picture on your 'profile' of the cat!! LOL!
