Baby hopes

For those reading our blog you probably know that Mike and I miscarried a baby 5 years ago and have not been able to get pregnant since. It is an extremely painful and difficult challenge to deal with. However, I went and saw my new OB/GYN last week and it gave me a lot of hope. He is in our ward and has helped a couple women I know get pregnant. After telling him my life story, he kindly but firmly disagreed with many of the treatments I have been through in the last several years.

The pythons thriving in Florida are mostly Burmese pythons from Myanmar that were brought over as pets and then turned loose in the wild. From 2002-2005, 201 of the beasts were caught by state authorities, but in the last two years the number has more than doubled to 418, Mazzotti said in his study published on the university Web site. The largest python caught so far in Florida measured 16.4 feet and weighed 154 pounds. Mazzotti said the ...
