Zachary's Birth Story
I was very excited at the end of my pregnancy and so worried about organizing the nursery and cleaning the house that I took off work a week before my due date. At my appointment the day before my due date, there was nothing happening. A week later I saw another doctor (a rotating practice), and he scheduled me to be induced the eighth day after my due date. Nothing happened before then, so we arrived at the hospital the day of the scheduled induction.
The doctor inserted a pill into my cervix at 9 AM. Throughout the morning I had increasing cramps that were lighter than menstrual cramps. The doctor had asked if I planned on getting an epidural, and I bravely said I wanted to see what I could handle. Around 11 AM, the baby's heart rate dropped (I was on a monitor) for a short period, and I called the nurse. By the time she came in, it had popped back up, and even though it was on the printout, she said the monitor was just probably picking up my heart rate instead. About 20 minutes later, as my husband walked out to get a drink, the baby's heart rate dropped again, and while I was a little reluctant to call the nurse back in, I did because I felt there was something wrong.
When she saw the heart rate so low, she called for another nurse as she guided me into a variety of positions to try and shift the baby, perhaps off the cord. The first nurse was not happy and started to say discouraging things like, "C'mon kiddo, cooperate. You have to get oxygen." The second nurse was competing for inserting the world's fastest IV. Someone pulled an oxygen mask over my face and my husband walked in during the crisis. The doctor came running in just as the heart rate finally picked back up. With the excitement ebbing, the doctor ordered that the oxygen remain on and said, "You don't know how close you just came to a C-section. If this happens again, we are going to go in, and I suggest you consider having an epidural for the simple reason we can get in faster to save the baby."
I wasn't expecting this kind of thing at all! He said I wasn't going to leave the hospital pregnant and suggested he break the water to move things along, so I said have at it. There was a very warm gush, and the contractions did become immediately sharper, but nothing much worse than a period.
During this time I was allowed to move freely if I wanted (the nurse removed the oxygen mask while taking my blood pressure and didn't put it back on). The nurses only requested that if I was lying down to reconnect the monitor. I had to pull my IV pole around, and, I hadn't expected this, but I continued to leak. As I had each contraction, more fluid would push out. So, though you are encouraged to walk or rock during labor, they don't let you wear underwear and you're leaking, so it's really pretty gross. I stayed in bed until the contractions started get pretty bad.
By about 2 PM, the contractions had changed from something "crampy" to something very different, and I needed to breathe through them. I never felt that the breathing relaxed me or made the pain more manageable, but it did help me pass the time while waiting for the contraction to end, and I know that if I didn't concentrate on the breathing, I would have held my breath, which is bad, so the Lamaze did its job. The contractions finally drove me out of bed to walk and rock, because I had the distinct feeling during each contraction that I was just in the wrong position and surely if I was on my side or on my feet for the next one that it wouldn't be so painful. However this was not the case as they were always bad, and that frustration of not being able to do anything about the pain is what I remember most sharply from that day.
At about 3:15 the nurse came in with a bag and hooked it on the IV rack. She explained that the doctor wanted to add Pitocin so that I could have some "real" contractions. As I breathed through a contraction, I said, "These are doing just fine, thank you." She said, with a barely tolerant look, "These aren't doing anything, honey." Even though she said the doctor recommended the Pitocin, I didn't want it. I really felt my body was doing just fine progressing through labor. I declined other pain relief she offered because I didn't want the baby to be sluggish, but everything I had read indicated an epidural probably does not affect the baby so I was holding out until I could get one. Instead, I asked her if she would check me to see if I could get the epidural. I was a little more than two centimeters at this point.
By now it was time for shift change and I think she was happy to let the next shift nurse deal with me. The next nurse was very good. She came in and said the doctor would really like the Pitocin started and he would be by within the hour to see me but could she start it. I said it was okay to start the Pitocin, but would she check me because I wanted to get the anesthesiologist rolling if I was getting close to four centimeters. The results of the Pitocin were felt immediately, and what I was already feeling turned into a whole new level of pain. She checked me and said I was just about four centimeters, and she would call the doctor and get the epidural going. That hour was hard pain, but oddly enough the time seemed to pass even faster! By 4:45 PM, the epidural had taken complete effect. Oh sweet relief!
I did not find the administering of the epidural a scary process. By this time, the contractions really overshadowed everything. I did not consider the needle going into my back painful at all. The only issue is that you need to remain still, even during the contraction, since at this point they are so close together there is not enough time to complete the procedure between contractions.
The doctor checked me and I had shot past five centimeters. He commented that for a first labor and such an "unfavorable" cervix (not soft at all before we started), this was really moving along. I was so completely relaxed! Family was brought back into the room since it was now "safe" and I would not be biting heads off. The anesthesiologist checked on me a couple of times and said if I felt any discomfort to let her know and she would take care of it. Sometime after 6 PM, I did feel a lot of pressure, and it was uncomfortable, so the anesthesiologist shot a little something into the epidural IV, and all was great again. At 6:30 PM, the nurse came in and I asked how would I know when it was time to push and she said she would tell me. She walked out and I felt a large sense of movement. When she walked back in I asked her to check me, and she said I was at nine centimeters and she could feel the head so she was going to get the doctor. He was in very quickly and they pulled my legs back, and during the next contraction, the nurse, doctor, and my husband watched my son trying to come out! He said for me to push and off we went. The nurse told me when to push and when to breathe, and she and my husband each held a leg because of the epidural. The baby's heart rate dipped with each contraction, but the doctor said this was going to go quickly.
He gave me an episiotomy, but I did tear anyway. After 15 minutes of pushing and with the help of forceps, my son was born, 10 hours after the pill was inserted into my cervix. There was meconium, so they had to clear the baby's passageways immediately after my husband cut the cord. That was okay with me since I had to get stitched up anyway. I didn't want the doctor still getting a great view while I was doing motherly bonding with my baby. I sent my husband over to get pictures while they were cleaning Zach up. My favorite picture is my screaming son partially cleaned up, before they put a cap on him. It is the first picture of him ever taken. The one thing I would have done differently is have my husband take a picture of the baby as he was coming out, taken from near my knee, so that not a lot of me was in the picture and the baby could be seen in the doctor's hands with the cord still attached. God willing there will be a next time, and I will surely do it then.
If and when I have another child, I will let the doctor induce the same way, right on my due date if he is inclined. I was always very regular and knew just when I had become pregnant, and the ultrasound confirmed the due date to the day, so if my due date were so "sure" again, I would induce on the due date. If the baby has been in there for nine months, there is nothing more to be gained by going past due, and meconium is toxic to your baby. The baby can "release" meconium anytime after the fortieth week. It would be devastating to have a stillborn child, so I would remove the meconium risk if everything else is in line. Not all doctors feel this way, so if you are debating, read up and make a suggestion to your doctor.
I am not a believer in Pitocin. Yes, it will really move things along, but beware of the doctor who wants to "crank you up" or "jumpstart" your labor. Pitocin causes painful contractions immediately. Your body mentally and physically needs that "warm up" period of lesser pain to acclimate to the greater pain. Also, Pitocin will probably speed the whole process, but your cervix still needs time to soften, so do you really need to experience the hardest contractions for that whole period?
If giving birth again, I will go to the same hospital, use the same OB/GYN, and get an epidural again. I was completely relaxed and ready to greet my son when it was finally time. It was a beautiful way to experience childbirth.

Win $500 in the 2010 Get Rich Slowly Video Contest
Published on - March 16th, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
For a long time, I've wanted to host another contest here at Get Rich Slowly. Not a "leave a comment to win" contest (those bring hordes of random people from across the internet, which means the winners aren't usually actual GRS readers), but a contest that rewards folks for doing something cool.
Well, now seems to be the time. To celebrate the upcoming fourth anniversary of Get Rich Slowly and the imminent release of my first book, Your Money: The Missing Manual, I've decided to do something a little scary and exciting. We're going to have a video contest.
GRS readers are awesome
The reader stories I've been featuring every Sunday seem to be a hit. And, in fact, I've always maintained that what makes this site so awesome has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you, the readers. Your tips and stories and suggestions are what make this one of the best places on the internet to discuss actual personal finances.
As proud as I am of this site's growth, of the income it has provided, and of having now written a book, I think my favorite achievement came last year when The Wall Street Journal wrote: "The strength of [Get Rich Slowly] is that, along with plenty of advice from financial experts, he opens the site up to input from readers so they can learn from each other…Much of the value of the blog comes from readers' comments." Amen.
Well, it's time to get open this site up for even more reader input. Here's how it's going to work.
The Get Rich Slowly video contest
I want you to create videos of under two minutes in length that provide personal-finance info in one of two categories: Personal Finance Tips or Success Stories. You can use anything you want to record the videos, and you can be as creative (or non-creative) as you'd like to be.
Since I'm the judge for the contest, I'll tell you right now that although content is king (meaning the quality of your tip counts for a lot), I'm going to be pre-disposed to hands-on, how-to type videos: "Here's how to change your oil", "Here's how I use coupons to save at the grocery store", and so on.
Here's a sample of what a video in the Personal Finance Tips category might look like:
Chris G. with his tip for planning an end-of-year vacation
And here's an example of what videos in the Success Stories category might look like:
Adam Baker with his personal success story
As you can see, your videos don't have to be anything fancy. While you're certainly welcome to get creative, what I really want is for you folks to make something by hand. I want you to take risks, get creative, and share your ideas with other GRS readers. I think it'll be awesome!
What's a contest without prizes? For the 2010 Get Rich Slowly video contest, we're giving away cold, hard cash. The winner in each category — Personal Finance and Success Stories — will receive $500. And ten runners-up in each category will win an autographed copy of Your Money: The Missing Manual. That makes 22 prizes in all!
How to enter
If you're over 18 years old and this contest is legal in your state (sorry, this contest is for U.S. residents only), you're invited to submit an online video no more than two minutes in length. To do so, follow this procedure:
- Make your awesome video.
- Upload the video to your YouTube account.
- Head to the video contest page and click the "submit your video" button.
- If you have any questions or have problems submitting your video, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can submit videos in two main categories: Personal Finance Tips or Success Stories. (You may submit one video in each category, for a total of two possible entries.) And, as mentioned before, if you have a website, you can flag your video to be entered in the bonus Website category.
The contest is open until 15 April 2010. I'll announce the winners on 01 May 2010. Once submissions start coming in, you'll be able to view the most recent entries — I'll post the place to view them on the video contest page soon. (Plus I may highlight a few videos between now and April 15th.)
Join the fun!
It takes guts to put yourself out there on video. Trust me, I know. But please don't be afraid of looking like a dork. Be enthusiastic, share your knowledge, and have fun! (And if you're worried about the juvenile YouTube commenters, simply turn off comments on your videos.)
What are you waiting for? Pull out your cameras and start recording. I hope you join in the fun, not only for the possibility of winning a prize, but to also share your stories and ideas with others — and to make something by hand.
This article is about Administration, Reader Stories
Well, I love to enter giveaways as a hobby, but I really do read your blog! I've been reading for a looong time (in blog years). 'Fraid I'll have to pass on this contest. I stink at video. Good luck, happy vloggers!
Yay – should be fun!
Darn, I live in Canada so I can't play. I will look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with though!
I am going to be a smarty pants, but say it anyway: since I am so frugal, I don't own a videocamera to make a clip. I also have no clue how to upload it if I do figure out whom to borrow it from. No prize for me – can you say some success stories cut out chances to win? Like, if you don't buy a lottery ticket, you never get a million? ) Have fun, looking forward hearing those stories!
This is great JD. Count me in.
Well I guess I'm out since I live in Canada
I just finished an ARC of your book, and it's great!
I'll be entering in the personal finance tip and website category. Should be fun – and a good reason to finally do some more video!
Oh, this is a neat contest. I've got a few ideas – I'm going to have to think hard about my best tip!
Olga, I bet you know someone with a camera. Borrowing or sharing community resources is a frugal action.
JD, your announcement video is great. But not so great to deter us from sending in entries.
Totally am all over this, writing my script now and just bought my new pro-sumer camera I use for my wedding videography side biz! …and I pay off my house in 1 month so the timing is PERFECT
I might just take a shot at this. Even if I don't, I am looking forward to the entries of others. I like seeing putting faces to names.(I even enjoyed your video introducing the contest.)
And, one question: Do you have to have a Kermit painting to have a successful blog? (See Chris's video.)
Wow, I don't have the first clue about getting video uploaded, but it's an intriguing contest idea! I DO know someone who recently got a Flip. hmmmmm.
I love this idea and can't wait for the tips.
Plus you'll be filtering them to give us all the good stuff.
I imagine this clause from the official rules will concern some people. This gives you all rights to the work. Seems a bit excessive to me:
Once a contestant has submitted a video for the Contest, such contestant agrees that Sponsor shall own the entry submitted (including all rights embodied therein) and that Sponsor and its designees may exploit, edit, modify, display and distribute the entry and all elements of such entry, including, without limitation, the names and likenesses of any persons or locations embodied therein, in any and all media now known or not currently known, throughout the world in perpetuity without compensation, permission or notification to entrant or any third party.
I am also from Canada and really wonder about 'sticky legal reasons'. I normally feel like North Americans are all one – but distinctions like this really hold 'Canadians' back. (It is not just this contest, but many other 'US' contests.) Couldn't you send a book to a best international entry? We have the same financial pressures/problems and I am sure we have creative, intelligent ideas too.
Real fast, do we need to mention "GRS"? I am happy to work it into the script, but if it isn't a requirement it would help to not use it. Saying "Get Rich Slowly" 3 times fast can get ugly
@Anon. If you have doubts, don't enter. He is giving away $500. Don't expect him to get nothing out of it. That's business.
Thanks… last question (yeah right). The time limit of 2 minutes… assume a video is 2:09… or 2:02… or 2:17. Is this a HARD 2 minutes or a "soft" 2 minutes we are talking about here?
this is fun

Strapless Lace A-line Gown with Side Split Style YP3344 214 216
I LOVE IT I tried this dress on an it did everything I need for my body shape. I loved it so much I picked and will walking down the asile in it!!! July 5, 2012
Unexpected Dream Gown! Check this dress out! This dress is very light, very soft. The all over lace is gorgeous. This was the 16th dress I tried on overall. When I started looking at dresses I was very unsure of what style I wanted. Only thing I knew for certain was I wanted a soft look: tulle or lace look. I started with A-line gowns and ballgowns, coming very close to purchasing a ballgown but something just wasn't right. That dress was very, very heavy and I sweat almost immediately. THIS dress was so soft and light. I wore this dress for over an hour because I didn't want to take it off! The print is stunning and the peak of tulle is a very nice touch. The detail of beading along the top edge is gorgeous and this stock photo does not do it justice! Very form-fitting with the corset back which is something I actually wanted to avoid originally because of dissatisfaction with my self-image but I gave this dress a chance and it was so worth it. My mother cried! It has that WOW! Factor. I'll be wearing this with a Mantilla-style veil embracing my Spanish heritage and keeping the lace-on-lace. Beautiful dress and worth the shot! June 23, 2012
Fits like a glove This was mu second trip into David's bridal and on my first trip I had purchased a completely different dress (ball gown). After having it home it just didn't seem like the dress for me ( a friend had encouraged the purchase). So I did some online browsing. I was looking for something that had lace and beading (to fit our 40's theme) and something in the style of a fit and flare or something that would show off my hourglass figure, completely opposite the ball gown look. When I went back in to David's bridal for a second time this dress was not even on my list of gowns I had seen online but I saw it in the store and I wanted to try it on, it seemed perfect for what I was looking for (and it was). It ended up being about the fourth dress I tried on and I fell completely in love with it. It hugs all my hourglass curves and shows off my small waist. Plus it has a corset back which I love and originally wanted and did not get with my first dress. It looks so much better on you than on the mannequin ( I actually snuffed it on the mannequin without even knowing it at first). You must give this dress a try - I cannot wait to walk down the isle on November 23 and party all night in this beautiful and elegant gown. June 22, 2012
LOVE I fell in love with this dress when I seen it online. It was the first one I tried on in the store and the dress in person blows this picture out of the water! I tried on about 7 dresses or so that day and nothing came close to how beautiful I felt in this one! Can not wait until I get to wear it for the big day! Would recommend to anyone who likes the fitted flare look with just enough "bling". LOVE! June 21, 2012

Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Launches Skin Research Information Portal
SID Holds Conference Focused on Atopic Dermatitis
Abstracts & Commentary
Research and Commentary
"When two skin researchers get together at the SID meeting, a wonderful type of brainstorming happens"
SID Meeting Attendee
The Society for Investigative Dermatology = Skin Research
The Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) was founded in 1937 to serve as the professional 'home' for all skin research. During this Diamond Jubilee (75th) Anniversary, the Skin Research Information Portal will extend the knowledge to patients, physicians who treat skin diseases, and the public.
It is an online resource that will provide anyone with credible information about skin disease, and the research being conducted to find new treatments and cures. Those who visit will have the opportunity to click through and get some information about the organization and what they are doing to advance discovery.
Under My Skin
A majority of skin diseases (there are over 3,000 known) are chronic, and without effective treatment. Although people can see their own skin, many of us are unaware of how skin functions in both health and disease. This lack of information has been proven to diminish the health of patients.
Research shows that informed patients are empowered, and subsequently increase their participation in developing a health plan and achieving better outcomes. Another important factor to note is that we are living longer inside our skin-aging skin poses a unique set of challenges and problems.
Skin is global-it serves the leading role as the barrier to the environment, the 'container' for every human being on Earth. It houses all the inner organs, and enables us to experience touch, thereby connecting with each other and the world around us. As such the skin holds a unique place in terms of its ability to connect scientific knowledge. Symptoms that appear in the skin are often signs of deeper, systemic disease, and can help physicians employ preemptive treatment.
This reflects co-morbidity, two or more coexisting medical occurrences or disease processes. This phenomenon links the specialty of Dermatology to multiple other specialties and disciplines, including Oncology, Pathology, Rheumatology, Cardiology, Neurology, Genetics, and Immunology. Skin research is the ultimate connector.
Skin as a Model
The visibility, commonness, and accessibility of the skin render it an ideal model for patient education programs. The scientific communities are already in communication, so extending the collaborative knowledge circle to include patients is a natural progression.

Access "Storage at risk"
This article is part of the Vol. 3 No. 7 September 2004 issue of A look inside Hitachi's TagmaStor high-end arrays
Survey methodology: The Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) conducted a survey in March and April of 2004 with selected Storage magazine subscribers to assess attitudes regarding storage security. ESG surveyed 388 storage and 128 security professionals in 10 industry segments. Company size varied from less than $50 million in revenue to more than $5 billion. Quantitative analysis was supported by interviews. The data presented here reflects the responses of storage professionals unless otherwise noted. For more information, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. From the boardroom to users' desktops, data security is a critical issue, yet storage security remains underserved, often leaving data vulnerable. Based on the results of a survey conducted by the Milford, MA-based Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) in conjunction with Storage magazine, ESG concluded that: Storage security exposes significant weaknesses. Many companies--even those with strong commitments to security--revealed problems with storage security knowledge, IT processes and technology... Access >>>

guest blogger: manuel villacorta, nationally recognized registered dietitian & owner of mv nutrition center in san francisco
football sunday has become a sacred day in america, and is often welcomed with nearly as much food as thanksgiving. you can easily pack over 2,200 calories on snacks alone! with all the days excitement and activity it is easy to over consume and let your inhibitions down. here are some practical tips to help you enjoy football's biggest day without making your waistline grow!

meet your newest salsa partner: volume is key to a game changing guacamole. try adding pico de gallo salsa (fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro) and add it to your guacamole. the result will be a hearty and delicious dip that is lower in calories and fat. pair with salsa tortilla popchips.
the coolest cream of the crunch: switch up your ranch wing dip. chicken wings are always hot item on the menu, but it's easy to overdo it with the high fat dressings and dips. get cool by making an alternative dip full of flavor and low in fat. mix 1 cup greek yogurt with 2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tbsp. olive oil, and 1-2 tbsp. fresh dill (or herb of your choice). pair with ranch tortilla popchips.
a nacho above the rest: add this cilantro bean dip to your party spread; or spread it on top of chips to create a super nacho platter. it is simple and sure to be a hit! blend 2 cans of drained black beans, 3 tbsp. black bean juice from can, 2 tbsp. lime juice, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. cilantro paste, and a pinch of salt. pair with nacho tortilla popchips.

WHEATLAND (WKOW) -- Flooding is still a problem in some areas of Wisconsin.
Flood warnings are still in effect for about 10 rivers, including the Fox River in Kenosha County.
Crews shut down a 5-mile stretch of Highway 50 along the river near Wheatland, which is south of Burlington.
Some homeowners in the area followed a voluntary evacuation order and left days ago, but others are staying put.
"This ain't nothing new, been here about 12 years or so and this is the second time it's gotten this good. Hopefully it holds off about the 2008 level and I won't have to worry too much about water getting in the house," said resident Chuck Duncan.
The Department of Transportation says Highway 50 is closed indefinitely, but it's not likely to reopen before Saturday.

After Colombia's central bank surprised markets by lifting interest rates on Friday, analysts and investors are re-thinking their expectations on the country
Banco de la República lifted Colombian interest rates
25bp, to 3.5%, on Friday, with increased capital inflows among
the factors for the hike.
It made for an "unusual beginning" to a tightening cycle,
because BanRep
had not signaled the rise, and the decision was not
unanimous, said Siobhan Morden, head of LatAm strategy at
Further rate rises could be "less aggressive", however,
given the bank had made an early start on the cycle, she said
in a research note on Monday. That was supported by BanRep's
indication that a small adjustment now was prudent to cut the
likelihood of sharper moves in the future.
Yet the surprise move has pushed some to re-evaluate their
expectations on the direction of Colombia's monetary
The base rate could reach 4.25% by the end of 2014,
Itaú-Unibanco analysts said in a research note published
on Friday. Previously, they had forecast rates to sit at 3.75%
by year-end. They also expect the peso to end the year on a
stronger footing, at COP1,950, rather than COP2,000, to the
"A tighter than expected monetary policy will certainly
contribute to attracting more inflows to Colombia, at a time
when foreign participation in local market bonds is already
increasing," the bank's analysts said.
Tightening spreads and rising currencies have hit emerging
markets, but have been particularly sharp in Colombia,
especially in sovereign debt, as inflows have grown, the
central bank said on Friday. JPMorgan's decision to increase
the weighting of Colombian peso-denominated sovereign bonds in
two debt indices has driven a rush of cash into the country's
capital markets in recent months.
BanRep also pointed to positive indicators on domestic
growth and inflation, as well as signs of a global economic
recovery in its decision to tighten monetary policy.
Inflation is likely to be a determinant factor in future
rate hikes, Credicorp analysts said in a research note after
the decision. The Andean investment bank expects Colombia's
interest rates to reach 4.5% by year-end.
Markets were pricing in more than 150bp of rate hikes over the
next 12 months, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts said on
Monday. The US investment bank expects the rate to rise 100bp
this year. LF

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A project to widen highway 133 may end up back on the table for the Department of Transportation. Last year, the project, estimated to cost up to $350 Million, was stopped near the end of engineering and environmental assessments.
Now, the interim DOT director is putting that part of the project back on schedule. Once that's complete, right of way acquisition can begin. That makes the project closer to being shovel ready and could make it eligible for federal stimulus money.
"Southwest Georgia needs buy-in for this particular corridor. We know for a fact that it will make a difference in jobs. We know for a fact it will retain jobs and we know for a fact it can open up some markets that aren't open for us," said Dougherty County Commission Chairman Jeff Sinyard.
Sinyard says while he recognizes the entire project won't get the green light... it may be broken into segments for approval. He plans to push for the first segment on the list to be in Dougherty and Worth Counties.
