Happy Monday ladies! I'm feeling in good spirits today...we had a great night (even got 3 1/2 hours straight between feedings...twice!) and then we got up at 7 when I nursed and had breakfast and then got dressed and was on the treadmill and got an hour workout in while Charlee napped and even managed a shower! I feel…

Hi ladies! So happy that the board is up and running and already has lots of posts! YAY! Rayna breastfeeding was a little rough in the beginning...tmi but I don't have large nipples and therefore Charlee had a hard time latching. It was really painful in the beginning. The nurses in the hospital were AWESOME with helping…

I agree that this thread seems to be the easiest thing to do for now instead of using the group feature for now. I can't believe it is ALREADY December! Oh my...where has the time gone?! Here is the link to the "after baby" thread. I will of course continue to check in here often...I feel like I've created relationships…

bmfrazie so happy to hear things are okay! Rest, relax, and do whatever is necessary to keep that lil bean healthy and happy inside for as long as possible! Kristy, again I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my own father way too soon when I was 16 from a massive heart attack... I am keeping you and your…

Good morning ladies! Charlee is napping so I wanted to check in with you all. I'm sorry I haven't been able to be more active on the board...babies will do that! lol Aimee congratulations on a healthy baby! I admit I would have been a little disappointed if Charlee had been a boy...but at the same time what truly matters…

Happy Thanksgiving! Ash I just wanted to tell you that I started feeling daily movement at 16 weeks and it never stopped! And even now the doc, the nurses, and many others have said how surprised how active she was as a newborn! I said "I told you guys I wasn't fibbing by saying how much she moved!" lol Congrats on the…

Hey ladies! Just a quick check in. Charlee and I are doing wonderful. Breastfeeding is going absolutely wonderful now. She is eating, sleeping, and pooping just as she should be. The lack of sleep finally started to check up to me (I wasn't napping at all throughout the day) and have needed to relax a little more and nap…

Good morning ladies! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Just wanted to check in real quick while Charlee is passed out in a milk coma on my lap (life is so good! :) ) I'm still feeling sore but strangely enough would love to pack up Charlee in the stroller and go for a long walk....but considering I hobble still…

Hello ladies! Hope all is well with you all. We just got home today from the hospital and I wanted to check in while hubby is holding sweet Charlee and I have a little energy to post my birth story.... Tuesday I woke up and decided to go through and clean absolutely everything that could be cleaned...floors to linens and…

Still pregnant. I had lots of contractions last night that kept me awake most of the night. I'm gonna try and stay active today despite the tiredness and clean and then walk. Tomorrow the plan is to rest all day! One suggestion I'd like to make to all of you (mostly the first time mommies)...I've learned a valuable lesson…

Hi ladies! Quick check in (which is what I feel like all I do these days and am being a lousy board member and not very supportive..I'm so sorry...I never realized how hectic and tired I've been the past few days). Anyways, I had my doc appt and am feeling a bit more positive. My doc is in Vegas right now so I had another…

Kimmers as a nurse and pregnant I'd highly recommend getting the flu shot! Your immune system is lowered because of the baby and pregnant women are at risk of getting the flu because of this. And especially working in healthcare! I am a RN as well and especially if I was working I wouldn't think twice and would get it! I…
-
Good morning ladies! Let me first start by saying I'm so sorry I'm not commenting on everyone's posts...I AM reading them. Al has been home the past several days since he had Veterans Day off so we've been spending a lot of time together and I don't like spending lots of time on the computer since I never normally get to…
-
lol! I'm telling you my friends...at this point all you can do is laugh or cry...I'm choosing to laugh and it feels great! I hope you all are able to have high spirits at the end, it is the only thing getting me through :) Not to mention it works great for this board cause an hour of dancing my HUGE belly around had to…
-
Ashley I probably would in a heartbeat if I was a little bit more technologically savvy :) So far I've done "Baby" by Justin Beiber, "Push it" by Salt N Peppa, "Ice Ice Baby" vanilla Ice...and a several more. Who needs to walk on the treadmill when you can set up a full length mirror and giggle at yourself as you bust some…
-
Quick post... After sitting here watching youtube for an hour I finally got inspired to get up and dance...literally! lol For a great laugh I highly recommend going on youtube and searching for "labor inducing dance". These women crack me up and several of them have said that after dancing they went into labor that…
-
Good morning ladies! Still pregnant... lol Welcome newcomers! Please read the intro on the first page of the board and jump right in! Thanks for all the support ladies. It means a lot. :) Ashley the Element prenatal yoga is really good for more active poses. Elce that is annoying! If they are so unorganized I wouldn't…

Good morning ladies! So evidently MFP is changing up the groups/boards. I haven't really checked it out to see how exactly it will all work...but evidently it will be easier for us to use and find and won't bump us out of our topics each month at 500 posts. So come December maybe we can move this board over there as well…

Hi ladies! Sorry for leaving you hanging...I had my 40 week appointment this morning and then I went to the chiro to get adjusted and do some acupuncture. After that I went to visit my friend and so I just got back home. Basically there has not been any progress in terms of dilation/effacement/etc.. My doctor had offered…
-
Quick check in...Al took off today since he worked all weekend so we are spending the day together. Still no signs of baby coming. We are going to the gym and he is playing a basketball game and I'm gonna do some cardio for an hour and then do some arm workouts. Also, just wanted to say how happy I am for you Andrea. Makes…

Shellgib that's awesome you are a fellow RN :) and lactation consultant to boot! So if we have questions you are our "go to" girl! YAY! I worked at a Children's hospital and am passionate about Ped's nursing. I moved to a small town and all we have is a small hospital with no ped's services within a 50 mile radius. I…

Good morning ladies. Hope you are all having a great weekend! Still pregnant...(my new motto lol). As long as my ribs aren't killing me I'm not as anxious as I was before. With the looming possibility of my doctor not being the one to deliver her I do truly hope she decides to come this week. I am also a little nervous…
-
Good morning ladies! Yup...still pregnant :) Welcome to the newcomers! Glad to have you here...please read the intro on the first page of the forum and jump right on in!!! :) Heather "holding your poop hostage"!!! LOL! That cracks me up! I've actually had the opposite "problem". I've always been very regular and account…

Andrea I did post pics of the nursery. I believe they are in Part 1 of October's thread :) babeed I'm so glad I was pregnant in the summer for the sake of not having to wear pants! lol I wore loose shorts and lots of dresses. My baby hates anything that is restricting on my belly. She will kick and kick...My husband always…
-
Amy I'm so sorry...My heart goes out to you! Prior to this pregnancy I had two miscarriages one right after the other. It was heartbreaking and no matter what anyone said it didn't make it any better. So just know that we are here for you and you can hang around as long as you'd like. Please be kind to yourself and get the…

Taldie the LAST thing I want is to be induced! My doc already offered to put me on her schedule for an induction this week and I refused. I personally don't believe in getting induced for convenience purposes. There are several reasons as to why women need to be induced for medical reasons...and convenience in my book is…

Good morning and welcome to all the newcomers! Please read the first post on the board and jump right on in! :) Rachel I'm an Army wife as well...what does your hubby do and where are you stationed at? We are in Missouri and my husband is a helicopter pilot. :) Holly I've ate my fair share of junk food (in conjunction with…

midnite congrats and glad everything is going well with baby. Karen I'm so happy for you! The end of June seems like a wonderful time to have a baby....you aren't pregnant during the dead of summer heat, and there is so much to do for a June birthday! Andrea and Amy I'm right there praying for you as well! Rosanna I have…
