Wow, one month old already?!? That time sure did fly! Then again, I am not the one getting up for 4:00 AM feedings LOL...

I had similar problems posting a pic in the past and photobucket worked well once I figured it out. Can't wait to see the lil guy

Tanya

Happy New Year All!

Thank you all for your comments on our new baby Mehmet! He's one month old already! Boy did that go fast... I tried to post pics of him for you all to see, but the upload keeps failing because it says the file is too large... Don't know what to do about that. Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh gosh....I am in TROUBLE! I have a very hard time suppressing the need to laugh out loud at the most inappropriate moments...

I'm not sure (though I guess i will find out soon enough) but I think that, because I am one of a small group of students doing our clinicals in the evening, I will be going to only one small psych facility (apparently the only one in my area that allows students to come in the evening) that is mostly for ppl who are clinically depressed and/or contemplating or have attempted suicide, not for the truly insane...which is kinda disappointing, 'cause I was really hoping to see what goes on inside the large state-run mental hospital in my state...I've heard so many stories about it.

it is just like a scene out of One FLew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...serious...you will have to control your need to laugh uncontrollably...I loved it....the sane ones make fun of the truly insane and you begin to realize just how thin the line is between "us" and "them"...lol enjoy your semester and let us know what you discover every day!

Where is everyone (crickets chirping)??

I took your advice and set some pics up on Photobucket.com. Here is the link, just click on it or copy and paste it in your browser and hopefully you'll all be able to see them. Thanks for your help!

Hi ErikaAndHamit,

I am so puzzled about you saying my story was on another website? I haven't got a clue of what that could be? Are you sure it was me or am I really getting dementia?!!! Please fill me in if you can!

As far as the colic goes Mehmet seems to be getting better and in fact is sleeping 3-4 hours before waking to eat. Of course he's still sleeping in the car seat, but whatever works right? LOL! I feel for you having had 3 babies with colic! Oh my, how did you do it?! Thanks for offering your help and if I ever need it I will PM you!

Thanks and fill me in on the other website! I'm curious!

~Debbie

Wow a boy!! How nuts....or pardon the pun, but that doctor obviously didn't see your sons' I feel like such a stalker saying this, but I feel like I already know ya Deb_Res...when I first met Hamit and before I discovered VJ I came across your story on another website and was addicted and read it all the way through....probably every single last post....lol and then I seen you here just a few months ago and now I learn you two have a sweet lil' baby....I am so happy for you two....now this is what life is all about. I am genuinely excited for the two of you! I know about colic girlfriend...all 3 of mine had it....... just hang in there...it will get better within a few months. If ya need help, PM me.

Tanya...yes psych is pretty much poo-free unless ya come across the ones who like to paint alone in their rooms...... ya always hear about one of those Psych is very interesting and I wish I had my pics from my rotation ....they are funny as hell...when I fix the virus on my other computer I will show ya....lol I fit right in....anyhow, I know you will enjoy this semester....interesting if nothing else

Mina where art thou?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi Everybody!

I returned from visiting Turkey last night and am already missing my husband so much! I got a chance to meet Julia, Onur, and also Filiz from this website which was a very nice bonus to a visit to my husband. If you get the chance it is really great to meet some of these fabulous people in person whose lives we read about every day. Hoping, praying, and dreaming that this year will begin with some great news for all of us still separated from our loved ones.

Cok Guzel!! Thank you so much for sharing! I looked at them the other day and posted a note, but I don't know what happened. Sometime I think I am going crazy (not a far drive)

Deb, you look fantastic!!!

Once again, Congratulations and best wishes for health and happiness!!

Sibel, glad you are home safely and I agree with you about meeting these wonderful people on this site who understand what we are experiencing!!

I know that there has been some talk of having a get together, and maybe when we are all with our loved ones, we can set a date and place.

Happy New Year!!

welcome back, Sibel. How wonderful you were able to have a meet-up with some of our VJ gang!

I hope 2009 brings you the long awaited approval.

I was thinking the same thing....what's everyone up to? How's your new year so far? Any resolutions being worked on??

As for us, Ozzy is going back to Turkey next week to spend a week with his parents. His father has cancer - we've known this since summer, but he's now getting ready to start radiation treatments. Ozzy's going to help them arrange transportation to and from the hospital, etc. I wish I could go too...I'd like the chance to talk to his doctor. I'm getting so many confusing answers to the questions I have, and I'm sure some of the details are getting lost in translation...

Plus, I miss it there....I must admit, I'm feeling a bit...hmmph ...that he's going without me, even though I know it's for a good reason and there's no realistic way I can go with him anyway, not with my classes starting next week and the unlikely prospect of finding someone to watch my kids for a week on such short notice....

Tanya,

I am thinking of you and your family, and hope that your husband is able to help his father when he goes to Turkey. Do you mind if I ask what kind of cancer he has? How much has it spread since they found it last summer? I understand your desire to go with him to Turkey, and how frustrating the situation must be for you.
