My first grandchild, Lincoln Max, was born today at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 19" long. Both mom and baby are doing very well. We spent the morning at the hospital taking movies, photos, oowing, awwing and cuddling. One of the coolest sights is seeing my son--being a dad. I'm totally in love all over again. Hugs, Renee

Really just so disappointed
My implant became contaminated some weeks ago. What happened is that there was a rough patch of skin that began to leak clear fluid, effectively it was called a seroma.

Weird Question-But What Clothes to Wear To Port Surgery?
I'm having my port put in on Tuesday and they say I won't be able to raise or straighten my arms for a month. So, would button up shirts be best to wear? If so I will need to buy some as nearly all mine are pull overs. What about wearing a bra- will that be painful? What is your advice? Thanks for answering silly questions!

I told her that was the lowest reading for the past few years. She then told me that if you have a larger arm and a normal sized…
