[blparent] for tatiana

[Veronica Smith]

Gugs with good wishes!  Having a baby is so exciting for each and everyone
of us and scarey for others.  For me, it was exciting and scarey as I was
almost 40 when Gabriella was born.  We did have all kinds of problems,
starting with she was sitting right on the placenta, so even if I had wanted
to have her vaginally, I could not.
But like I said, that is neither here or there as she is now 12 going on 21.
Ha ha, good luck! V

Dear all ,
Thank you  very much to all for your responses on my introduction and that
discussion on hospital stay and social workers. Thank you all who shared
their hard experiences and stories. It makes me think a lot and help a lot. 
I just signed up  for hospital courses, I had a phone conversation with one
of the instructors and she sounded very  normal when I mentioned my
blindness. We'll se how it is going.
Tatyana.
