Perhaps this is nitpicky but embryos are not “implanted” they are transferred. Not all transferred embryos implant but implantation is the beginning of a pregnancy. I am a veteran of IVF (which is what made Marissa’s pregnancy possible) and trust me, everyone one who has been through it cringes when they see the incorrect terminology.

actually zev isn’t usually short for zevulun-it’s usually a nickname for ze’ev- which means wolf. zevulun means someting else entirely. and yes it is a very common name among orthodox jews- my brother in laws name is zevy (nickname)

I met Marissa a few times back when she was in Hairspray and she is really a lovely person. I am so thrilled for her and her husband, what wonderful news!

Zev is a very popular hebrew name. I have many orthodox Jewish friends named Zev. It means “wolf” and is typically short for Zevulan (or Zebulan in English, one of Jacob’s 12 sons – when his mother Leah bore him, she exclaimed, “God has provided me with a good dowry”).

I am originally from SoCal. There is an LA Couny Supervisor named Zev Yaroslavsky.

HA…I have never heard of anyone else with that name. We named our son that 6 years ago! Great choice :)

Wow Josie Kay I got goose bumps reading your post. Congratulations on A.J. He is certainly a blessing and a miracle baby.

I think that this is over the top wonderful news! She is so bubbly and reminds me of my nephew’s wife Tabby (They just had twins..boy & girl both over 6 pounds at 36 weeks).

She is just such a nice person. I am 31 and I had a hysterectomy on November 27, 2007. My sister had hers when she was 25 back in 2006. It seems like there are more women with reproductive issues and cervical cancer than there were 20 years ago. That or it just seems like there are due to modern technology. I also had cervical cancer and I was told that I would never have children..(mine was the cone cut no Chemo) …that I would never carry a child to term..but I was blessed with a miracle baby, AJ, who went WAY past his November 14th due date (He was born 12-11 after I was induced on 12-10) Now he is a thriving 9 year-old who LOVES The Jonas Brothers!

My hysterectomy was due to the damage that my LUPUS meds have caused in my pituitary gland that sent the wrong message and I basically had a 6 month period. I am content having AJ I have tons and tons of nieces and nephews and always more on the way!.

~~Josie Kay~~
