Sheri - Sorry to hear about DH. He definitely needs to make his own family his priority now and he sounds like he is making an effort so let's hope he sticks to it! Anne - I'll be hoping that you guys get that deal, that would be great! Annabelle - Thanks so much! I'll be running out to the health food store to pick that…

So as you know we have been dealing with thrush :( I thought it was going away but it came back full force yesterday! I guess the doctor is right and it's going to be super hard to get rid of since Hayley and I will keep giving it back and forth to each other through breastfeeding. She doesn't breastfeed well at all when…

Sheri - yay for advanced studies! having those books/workbooks available hardly seems like pushing them. i'm sure you aren't sucking any of the fun out of their summer so don't be so hard on yourself! :) Carina - i will keep you in my thoughts & we are all definitely here for you whenever you need us! i'm so sorry that you…

Julie - My babies both had vitamin k. I had my first in NJ and my second in MD. Ronya - I'm glad you found a dress you are happy with! I was always miserable trying to shop while pregnant, I felt like nothing looked right. I don't think it's too much to ask that dh be involved with birth control - it takes 2 to tango :)…

Rachael - sorry i can't help, i had my water broken in the hospital both times because it never broke after i went into labor (my mom was the same way with all 3 off us, weird huh?) Anne - Beautiful pictures! I love the one you picked as your new profile pic!

Happy Monday! I'm a little miserable because I'm at work today and have to wear a bra and shirt all day lol. I've been walking around my house topless as much as possible with the prescription cream on my nipples trying to get some relief from the thrush. It is really awful! Hayley's mouth looks better since starting to…

Julie - It's your baby so ultimately it's your decision and people will have to respect that. I will say that now is probably a good time to make sure everyone knows their boundaries because you definitely don't want to be fighting about this with anyone pp when you are super emotional. I am also a private person so I've…

Megan - wow, lucky you for those giftcards! aren't the baby floats so adorable?? i have 3 already this summer, i can't stop buying them lol! Steph - it's good to know that you're feeling sick :) Sheri - you are looking fabulous! looks like you guys had fun also, i love that one with your son's hands up lol Anne - i would…

I have been totally mia but I just played catch up. I love all the motivational pictures! I don't have one but all your pictures give me motivation! So my story is that I have just been feeling all around crappy lately. I haven't been eating right or exercising. I haven't been sleeping. I've been a mess emotionally. To…

wow, raw food diet! how is that going?

Are you looking for a manual or electric? I'm a huge avent fan and since it's a closed system it would be super easy to sanitize the few parts that touch the milk. I actually have both the electric and the manual. I got the manual at the hosiptal for taking a breastfeeding survey and never opened it since I already had the…

Just a little something to share for anyone who is looking to do something small for weightloss... I absolutely *LOVE* my sketcher shape ups. I have the mary jane pair and I wear them to work almost every day. I think they are really cute. Also, after walking around a lot at work I can really start to feel a burn in my…

Here's all my pumping info whether you want it or not, haha. I have the avent electric pump / manual pump and I *LOVE* it. The avent pumps directly into the avent bottles or avent storage things. I actually hate the avent storage things, and the medela bags are the WORST so I pump into the bottles and pour that into…

I started right away, but I always add breastfeeding to my food diary (it gives you 500 extra calories). I have also heard from many people that losing more than 1.5 lbs a week is bad for your breast milk so I try to make sure i eat all my calories and it's been working for me! I've been wearing my nursing bra with a…

Ya know, I never realized it before, but Hayley wakes up every night at 3am & 6am exactly and I remember always waking up at those times when I was pregnant! Megan - I'm glad your trip went well! After my births I have had heavy bleeding and even clotting from sex or exercise. Every woman/birth is different but I don't…

Let's start with seeing how we did with May goals & making some June goals! I did great with my May goals but I'll admit that I aimed pretty low. My June goals: Lose 6 pounds, Stay on track with C25K, Ab workouts at least 5 nights/week, Limit soda (I've been SO bad with soda & I never used to drink it before my pregnancy!)

Lynn - I was positive but I unfortunately have no advice because I was not allergic to the antibiotics :( All I can say is I'm glad that you know ahead of time so that you and your doctor have time to make a plan. Decisions during the birth are not fun! I wish I would have known how slow babies actually develop! May sound…

I feel exactly the same way you do, I stopped watching the show because it makes me mad to see 200 deodorants lined up in their garages.. they can't possibly use all of that! Hayley got Hep B at the hospital so at her 2 month she got 1 oral one (Rota) and 3 shots in her leg (DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular…

I don't know if it actually helps, but it always makes me feel better that I can do something after all those horrible shots! Wow, 4 times! On the days I go to work, I only pump twice and get about 6 ozs both times. I don't think I could find the time to pump 4 times, and I also have to pump in a bathroom stall, yuck! On…

Shoprite is my store that doubles. I do most of my grocery shopping at shoprite or walmart. I get most of my coupons from the sunday paper or coupons.com. Most of the people on the show make couponing look horrible the way they do it clearing the shelves and checking out with 10 carts of only 5 different items, but we…

Hayley girl got her 2 month shots today also, poor girl! I've never heard her scream like that :( We came home and took a long bath so hopefully that made her feel a little better. The doctor also noticed a sacral dimple on her and we need to get an ultrasound of her spine! I googled that when I got home so now I have…

haha, then you would love my 80 degree weather here in maryland - it's been just perfect the last week or so!

they are not one day apart, they are a week apart if she was born april 1.. lol i'm so exhausted i can't even keep track of how many weeks old my baby is! i did see one that was recommended by my doctor and he did no good for me :( my babies were both super active right at the same time in my pregnancies as you are right…

Sheri, wow how did I never realize that our babies were born 1 day apart? Hayley is 8 weeks on the 26th! My strep b test was vaginal only. I also got a catheter with Brielle when I was induced after my epidural. I didn't feel it at all and I didn't have the stinging problem someone else mentioned. I had the catheter in for…

Hayley is smiling ALL the time now & I finally caught a smile on camera so I couldn't help but share it :)

It never hurts to call the doctor because only you really know how you feel and only your doctor knows just the right questions to ask. I wouldn't be surprised if you are just getting to that really uncomfortable stage at the end of pregnancy but like I said, it doesn't hurt to call, I'm sure they are used to all the phone…

Nice checkup on everone Sheri :) Even though all the drama in my life, I'm so proud to say that I've accomplished everything I wanted to in May weightloss-wise :) I didn't have a "number" goal I just had other goals and I've kept myself on track in C25K for my 5K run on July 19! I'm definitely going to have to come up with…

I have been SO burnt out lately so I went to NJ this past weekend to stay with my parents. I had a FABULOUS weekend! On Saturday my mom took care of Hayley pretty much all day so that I got to spend some quality time with my older daughter, Brielle, which was just awesome. I bought her a new tricycle and taught her how to…

I got it done at the hospital because I don't like how they give them SO many shots at once at the 2 month appointment so I wanted to get one out of the way, but like Sheri said, vaccinations is a touchy subject and everyone has their own opinion : / As for the baths, I could not have lived without them right after the…
