Please note that you are correct in saying that men are not made to run a house and take care of the kids and everything all day and night as a woman would, but only in the very special way in which they "take" care of things. :) I think that special was the key word there!

I have no doubt. Mind over matter (with a little help from above) right? My question and maybe you have already said and I missed it. Is other than it being a chemical in you body, why not the steroid? Will it not be benefit them at this time?

Babies that get them (through mom) have much better lung development and require much less ventilatory support. I am not saying your babies will be preemies, but you never know. Best for them to get them. It will make a big difference in their lungs and shorten their hospital length of stay!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670515648916991881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22505067.post-87110183468013083072008-07-09T21:48:00.000-05:002008-07-09T21:48:00.000-05:00Just take this time off because once those babies ...Just take this time off because once those babies do come you are going to be doing a lot.
