Does anyone have research papers and/or studies on c-section vs regular birth after having given birth to a bpi child?

I hope you guys are doing well and I will email you next week. I am at my mom's house for Thanksgiving but will be back in NYC next week.

what a happy day and how wonderful to see the amazing progress- wishing for many more happy days ahead for you and Ella!

<t>We just stayed at the Marriott a couple of weeks ago and Francine is correct. You just tell the driver where you want to go and they take you and pick you up. It is a really nice service to have when you are staying there. I don't know what the parameters are for how far the shuttle will take you...

Happy Birthday Zak, wishing you a wonderful day filled with lots of love and laughter!
