I have been on UB on and off since 02. I don't know if anyone remembers, but the last time I posted, I was pg w/ #3 who has Down Syndrome and had DH who had condoms in travel kit (and we have never used condoms). [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm doing ok, thanks. Its been tough (db had heart defect and needed surgery, but is doing fine now). I still haven't done anything about the condoms. I have not confronted dh b/c I want to 'catch' him w/ a PI and I want to consult attorney first. Plus, life has sucked pretty much for me the for the past couple years that I kinda want some time to catch my breath before I embark on what could be the end of my marriage, kwim? [ Reply | More

Db is now 6 months and a joy. I was terrified when I heard of the Down Syndrome diagnosis but he really is mostly like my other kids, save for the heart surgery. He is my 3rd..my others are 6 and 3 [ Reply | More

db is a doll, truly. Such a happy, easygoing baby. Honestly, other than the medical situations, he is by FAR my easiest child. By MILES. My other two, who are also wonderful children of course, are extremely bright and very demanding and high maintenance, terrible sleepers. Its really nice to have a low intensity, great sleeping baby who I can actually take places w/o fearing a complete fit on his part. He is also happy to play by himself..who knew babies could be put down?! LOL [ Reply | More

np: I read the Memory Keeper recently and learned so much about Downs from the novel. I came away thinking that I'd be happy if my baby had downs, bc downs children seem so lovely and happy themselves. [ Reply | More

I'm not sure what to make of the condoms in a travel kit. How old is the travel kit? My H's travel kit is very old and with him, something could be in there from years ago. Or maybe he has a fantasy that something will happen on a trip, and the fantasy makes him feel good, but he's never actually done anything. [ Reply | More
