Oh, bless. It's like a real life Charlie & Lola.
Ivy is a smashing name; Am3li4 of M4rin3 R3s34rch/H34v3nly fame named her kids Dora and Ivy.
I haven't posted a pic of Tallulah for a while (she's 7.5 months and so close to crawling it's driving her mad) - this is by Pam in Greenwich Park at the weekend:

My employee (or colleague depending how you look at it) is now off to Brussels to have a placenta test. Apparently she has "something in her blood." They didn't tell her what yesterday, when she was at the local hospiotal where they took her blood. She's also a little over 20 weeks pregnant. Her husband called and you could hear the panic in his voice. They didn't/couldn't tell him anything yesterday, they just said he had to go to a specialist in Brussels. :-(
I (stupidly) googled and discovered that, especially when you have your second child, it is/can be dangerous to catch the CMV virus. It's in the stool or blood of your children. Most people get it at one point and, I think, about 50 procent is immune to it. As nothing can be done about it and doctors don't want to freak out their (pregnant) patients, they usually don't test nor tell you about it. Maybe that's what she has? I'm not sure. I hope it turns out okay. Usually a virus doesn't affect a feotus/baby... Hopefully not in this case either.

omg Lytton looks fabulous!
nath, I hope your friend is ok. So many people have scares in pregnancy that turn out to be nothing though (including me).
― Archel, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link
Yes, I quickly calmed down - I got all teary eyed when I told my mom - and realized that in most cases a virus does not affect the baby. (That said, I'm not even sure it is a virus, I'll know more later in the day...)

Lytton is adorable; what a fantastically expressive face! And Tallulah has gorgeous eyes, WOW.
Nathalie, I hope all turns out well for your friend.

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?

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. :-)

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

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.
― Super Cub, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
― luna, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link
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?
― Super Cub, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link
Wow, three years went by fast.

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...

All these babies with their gorgeous eyes!!! My heart is just thrilled to pieces for the Dimension 5ive clan :)
― Jaq, Thursday, 21 June 2007 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
― nathalie, Friday, 22 June 2007 09:05 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
― nathalie, Friday, 22 June 2007 12:42 (seventeen years ago) link
wow. poor O. i hope to new dr fixes her properly.
― sunny successor, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link
molly is gorgeous, btw. congratulations!
― sunny successor, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
― Ms Misery, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
