OMG, is that how tiny 8 lbs is? Dear Lord, time heals. My son was 890 grams when he was born, just a hair shy of 2lbs (14weeks preemie) my goodness, I can't even conceive...uh

Well, I do know that a US lbs is not the same as a Dutch pounds over here.. (see this page. At first I thought oh 8lbs, that's normal over here. But now that you say it, he is tiny! (and still very cute, yes you 2 Ottis)
According to this Converter, when I typed in the kg's of my baby currently, it would mean to US standards (I think) my kid would be about 11 lbs now (in US standards/measurements). That is just... euh... I'd beter stick to kilograms or just grams as of now. I am so not made for this metric differences between continents

Pounds (US) X 0.4536=Kg, Kg X 2.2 = Pounds (US)
8 lb 1oz (us) = 3.63 Kg, I was 9 lb 8 oz (=4.31 Kg)
My younger bro was just over 10lb, and next to younger bro was 11lb 3oz, big babys run in my family.....

Cute cute cute!!!! Give him lots of snuggles for me. I just love snuggling up wit a newborn, I don't think there is anything sweeter. - (although big biker guys who write fanfic and gush over babies is pretty far up the list  )

But the preview button has not gone missing, and by golly it works just hunky-dory-dandy.
However clicking "back" attempting to repost the same message will not re-edit the previous faux pas? Hmmm...
We removed the edit button as a forum member went back and edited their posts to "Content deleted" after they disagreed with another member in a thread. When that last happened (and we went to backup to restore the threads - which takes a while) I indicated that if such event ocurred again, we'd remove the edit button. It did, we have. Man of my word.
You all know how to contact us - if you make a genuine screw up that has to be removed, we can do it for you. And we're usually pretty timely at responding.
In the meantime, hit that funky preview, baby. Yeeaaahhhh.

Yeah ... figured that out after the fourth time!  
Preview just became my best friend!
Thanks for making all clear, Robbie.
