The new rolling ILX parenting thread, since the other one was getting unwieldy

A long time ago, before I even met Kate, I figured that I could name my son (if I had one) My Full Name, IV. And since I'm called Tre, he'd be called Ivy. You know. I-V. Ivy Baker has kind of a nice ring to it.

But since I've met my wife, she has convinced me that Ivy is a girl's name. Coming from the South where women are named Chester and men are named Elaine, how was I supposed to know?

MONKEY SOCKS

lol @ men who desperately want sons. I used to play baseball with a guy whose older sister was named Perry Ann.

if i had a boy he'd be wearing this:

My father bought a great one for a friend: something about punk rock not being a crime. His Japanese friend had played in a noise/punk band. I WANT ONE AS WELL. :-)

Here you go (I think).

That's my girl.

OK, she got old! I've been posting here for too long :-O

I was just browsing the original baby thread the other day! And now here she is three years on. World conquest is next.

AINYC, she is incredibly beautiful

Oh my goodness... You know I love me some CINYC - what a beautiful little girl she's become!

Alex NYC, I can't believe your daughter has gotten that big! I too have been posting on this board too long.

My wife and I went to our first Lamaze class on Monday. Hmm.. don't know what to say about that exactly. I am sure it'll be helpful in ways.

It might and it might not. My best friend thought it was the best thing ever, but I'm still waiting for it to be helpful for me, and my son is nearly 10.

There was quite a bit of talk about pain and fear. I don't know if that was this particular session and the instructor's point of view or what. Is insighting fear part of the Lamaze approach?

Wow, three years went by fast.

Anyway, here's a picture of me and Beeps that was taken earlier this afternoon:

whoa that wasn't supposed to be that big, sorry

How fantastic is Lytton?

Tallulah apparently crawled a bit yesterday...which is enough of an excuse for another pic of her...

Hooray for M0lly! And her huge huge eyes.

Yay Molly! Welcome to ILX.

All these babies with their gorgeous eyes!!! My heart is just thrilled to pieces for the Dimension 5ive clan :)

Oh gosh! So so pretty! Molly (and the rest). :-)

My husband is off to another doctor. Ophelia has yet another urinary infection. Third time in as many months. :-( We're going to ask for a referral (for a urologist) and hopefully have an ultrasound to see if there's nothing really serious. For now we assume it's the *extra skin* that connects the small labia (?) which causes the infection. Also, we're just tired of having to give the poor thing antibiotics. Even though it's a light one, AB are *evil*. :-) She had fever (about 39 degrees) in the middle of the night. Poor thing.

Bah. It's more serious than the other doctor thought. We have to do an "echo" and check what's exactly wrong. also we have to give her a bath every time she urinated.

wow. poor O. i hope to new dr fixes her properly.

molly is gorgeous, btw. congratulations!

Congrats on Molly!

Tallulah looks lovely in the pic.

Sorry about O. Nath. Hopefully they can figure it out. UTIs aren't too uncommon in babies are they? I'm sure she hates it though.

Well, the echo didn't show anything (which I read on the baby site doesn't mean much). Bt at least it's not a kidney stone or something. We'll see how this works out. If the UTI comes back, we'll need to do a more serious test (catheter urgh!). I am so not looking forward to this. :-( Poor thing.

Best picture ever!
"If I wanted milk I'd ask for it, OK? Now where's my damn bourbon?"

Nath: love and support from here, it's a big hassle I know but I'm sure she'll be fine.

Dimension, she's beautiful! Congrats! And great choice of names, btw.

Here's another crybaby picture for that sicko, Rock Hardy.

Beeps's mood did improve later...

awww. it must have been those duck feet shoes i made her wear.

Everybody can go back to their normal cheerful baby programming -- I just wanted to make sure that Schwantz's twins weren't animatronic or something. They remind me of that Youtube "happy baby" video.

Aw Beeps so lovely all dressed up!

And Molly is GORgeous, so excited to see her!

Upon her request, I photoshopped my mom-in-law out of this picture:

We are leaving in about 15 hours; Paris first and then Addis. Pixx to follow. Keep it real, parenting threaders.

Good luck!!! :-)

That ws yesterday. Today she's sick again. I'm getting a bit (hah! a bit?!?) worried here. We stopped with antibiotics last night! I mean, WTF! :-(
