So I used to visit this forum for mom's who had babies in October 2006, right? Well the reason I "used" to visit there is because lately there are TONS of posts about SIDS. The last one I saw was this morning and I said 'THAT'S IT!' I didn't even read the thread, I just saw the title. It makes my stomach cramp up whenever I see something like that. Yea, I know it's reality but geezis, they're posting left and right about how they read a story or know someone who it's happened to.

I just need to get my mind off of that and a smile. Anyone got anything?

 

Yeah, don't read those horror stories. They'll only freak you out. Go read my Irish Coffee thread. Maybe it will make you laugh.

Put one of these on your kid. I know it would make me laugh.

KC-10 FE out...

 

I pretty much thought the SIDS frenzy died-off (no pun intended) when people started making babies sleep on their backs instead of their tummys!

Either way, don't sweat it -- your baby probably has a much better chance of being eaten by the neighbor's pit bull than meeting his demise via SIDS.......

 

My wife was panicked about that with our first child. She followed all the directions about soft stuff in the crib, etc. She was so concerned about it that she bought netting to go over the crib so the cats wouldn't jump in.

I woke up one morning and checked on the kid. The cat had jumped into the crib pulled the netting down with him and laid down next to my boy. The net has my boy pinned down and the cat is lying next to his face.

My wife got the cat off and my boy had mesh marks on his face. I busted out laughing because both he and the cat were ticked we woke them up. After that I figured hey if that didn't do him in SIDs ain't got a shot.

Relax..he'll be fine.

 

good story!

 

Have a similar story. Wife spent the night at one of her friends house for a "girls get together", she took our 9 month old with her. They were concerned with their house cat never being around babies that they decided to place a blanket over the portable crib. They woke up the next morning and the cat was asleep right next to our daughter, both of them cuddled up on the blanket.

 

I'm going out on a limb and calling bs on this whole sids deal. First off the 'S' sudden, death can happen fast or it can happen slow, as soon as your are born you begin to die. People just perfer that death happens fast that way there is no suffering. 'I' Infant, adults can die the same way infants can and just as sudden. This whole thing was made up by someone who's child died and no one could figure out why, there is a reason, people either dont want to know the truth or are too lazy to figure it out.

Enough with my ranting

I would also like to dispell the myth about drinking while pregnant, it is ok in moderation. This was created due to the strong anti-prohabition movement in this country. In other countries women do drink while pregnant and they have health children.

 

Nah, it's still out there. It's always a concern to mom's.

Anyhoo, those stories were great guys. Thanks! I just got back from a long walk with Dane and I am feeling better.

4 days till I'm back at work! YAY!

 

"Don't laugh" said the patient, Ed.

"Of course I won't laugh," the doctor said, "I'm a professional. In over 20 years, I've never laughed at a patient."

"Okay, then," Ed said, and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest 'whoo-ha' the doctor had ever seen. It couldn't have been bigger than the size of an AAA battery.

Unable to control himself, the doctor started giggling, then fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later he was able to struggle to his feet and regain his composure.

"I'm so sorry," said the doctor. "I really am. I don't know what came over me. On my honour as a doctor and a gentleman, I promise it won't happen again. Now then, what seems to be the problem?"

"It's swollen," Ed replied.

 

Wow RC...another personal story from a member to help pick you up...

Nicely done Ed...errr...Becker.

 

ouch, pull that knife out

 

Why do people allow cats to live in the same house as their infants? If people are so worried about cats getting in the crib, why don't they just get rid of the cat. If my kid died because of a stupid, useless cat, I'd never forgive myself. Wise up, and kick the cats to the curb. Geez.

 

Gosh why do people have electricity in the house...if my kid ever got shocked...

Gosh why do people have toilets in the house...if my kid drowned ....

Gosh why do people have telephones in the house...if my kid chocked on a cord...

 

and the real reason your phone doesnt work right anymore..good lord find a brick to chock the fiddy in the driveway will ya


and does the cord actually keep her in the driveway? just asking for future reference
