I hope you don't mind if i put a link to this post.  i just wanna say that you are a great mother to monica.     just keep doing what you feel is right for you and your baby :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/880469440854119980/4631208270639099818/comments/default/7150022899236189981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/880469440854119980/4631208270639099818/comments/default/7150022899236189981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.lilacthoughts.com/2007/05/of-finally-giving-birth.html?showComment=1190273346263#c7150022899236189981' title=''/><author><name>BY NATURE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15240648834153314146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.lilacthoughts.com/2007/05/of-finally-giving-birth.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880469440854119980.post-4631208270639099818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/880469440854119980/posts/default/4631208270639099818' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
