The Pap Police is Going High Tech

I know all of you love to receive your pap reminders in their mauve colored envelope (chuckle chuckle), but if you would like to help me with my "Save the Trees campaign" , you can have your reminders e-mailed to you. For those interested in having these sent to you via the Internet, please e-mail the pap police at pappolice@hotmail.com and provide me with your e-mail address. Our office currently has a data base of many e-mail addresses. Those who are currently on this list, should have been receiving reminders concerning events being hosted in our office. If you have not been receiving such reminders and your e-mail address has previously been given to us, perhaps your address needs updated in our system. Please e-mail us if you feel your address needs corrected. Results can also be sent by e-mail upon your request. General e-mails can be sent to our office at susanklosky@hotmail.com.

Oh Happy Day!!!
Is it funny how you plan your labor to be this wonderful, perfect experience? Well I am writing this ten weeks after holding my splendid new baby boy and looking back I guess it was pretty perfect. My water broke at 8 AM and I had the biggest smile on my face. So did our son Maxwell when I told him. He started jumping up and down and ran down the hall to tell Dad. (How perfect Dad if off on Tuesdays!). We called Family Birth Place at 8:30 AM. Sandy was on her way into the office, we talked to her and she said we should come in. So we called everyone and told them that the baby was finally ready, twelve days late!! At the hospital we were soon joined by Gramma Mary, Aunt Danyel and Grandpap Ken. We were having a good time and at 1:00PM, I sent everyone off to lunch and I hopped on the birthing ball and would you know it things got crazy all of a sudden!! Thank God for Sandy and Nurse Mary. I cannot say enough and I certainly will remember their wonderful support and loving kindness for the rest of my life!! That said, let us skip to the good part!!! AHHH, that wonderful urge to push and feeling your baby pass through you and slip into the world and your waiting arms. What a blessed reward for me!! AT 6:12 PM our newest addition, Kendall Jay ìRexî Bomblatus joined our family. Waiting for him eagerly were big brothers, Ian (8) and Maxwell (4), who stayed with us all day and did not complain once!! All three of our beautiful boys were brought into the world with the help of the Nurse Midwives. Thank you, Nancy, Gretchen, Sandy and Sue. God Bless You!!!

Keith, Pebbles, Ian, Max and baby Kendall Bomblatus Greensburg, Penna.

Where Are Those Baby Pictures?


Are your photos of your life and family piling up on a desk or countertop collecting dust? Calling home to a box or a drawer somewhere? Or worse yet being placed in an album that is actually destroying them? The stories of our lives need to be passed on and preserved. There is a safe and fun way to display your precious photos and memorabilia and you can learn how by coming to a Creative Memories Demonstration at the Moms Group on Wednesday, April 10, 2002. This demonstration is being conducted by Karen Higgs.

 

Birth of Zander Nathanial


Thank you so much for all the one-on-one care I received. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was going to a different hospital until I found out about Jeannette District Memorial Hospital. At the other facility, the doctors would not answer all of my questions and when I came to Jeannette, it was everything that I heard. When I had my first appointment with the midwives, every question was answered and I actually felt like someone cared. When I was in labor and being monitored every few minutes, someone came in every few minutes just to see how I was. I was not able to have the birth I wanted because of medical reasons, therefore I needed a C-Section. Special thanks to Gretchen Cohen who never left my side while Dr. Khalil was doing the procedure. I was scared of feeling pain, but I did it and I had confidence in all those caring for me. You all helped me so much. Thank you for helping me have my beautiful son, Zander Nathanial David Shawley
