Hey Megan! Adorable picture! I had Wade do this a few times (spit up a lot and wonder if it was vomiting instead) and the doctor told me he was probably getting a lot of air while feeding and to stop him more often and burp him. He hasn't had the problem since. Wade was congested though and that is why he was getting more…

Thanks Sheri! This is the first baby I haven't been able to get right back to sleep after nursing. He was up from 11:45 pm until 4 am last night. Today we have been laying in bed together.

Just wanted to say hello! We have been really sick here, especially me. The baby is two weeks and has been sick too. He is already on an antibiotic and decongestant. It has been a rough two weeks here. I think I am getting too old for this. He is up every night until 2 am and sleeps until 6 am. So the lack of sleep hasn't…

I honestly have to say I am jealous of you both because I just don't produce enough to need pads. :( I nursed Wade at 10:30 last night and he ended up drinking 6 + ozs of formula and 4 ozs of breastmilk before going to sleep finally at 2:30am. He is my first baby that isn't getting enough from me alone.

I never get much milk EVER when I pump, no matter how long I wait post birth. Annabelle on the other thread made me feel better. Because she said "just because you don't produce for the pump doesn't mean you don't produce for the baby." After 6 hours with no feedings last night, I pumped this morning and had a grand total…

I sure wish I could help you out Megan. Yesterday was the first day I felt that way and I used my pump to help me out. Baby slept hard ALL day long and there was no waking him to even nurse. Made for a long night! Wish I could help and give you some ideas. I wonder if Annabelle on the other thread would have some ideas.

Sorry to hear things are rough for you right now. Hope things start looking up soon.

This is the site I got my walking ticker from and I copy and pasted the BB code into my signature. http://www.andfam.net/kim/tickerpicker.html I hurt my ankle back around Valentines Day but hoping it will be okay for me to start walking again on the treadmill in a few weeks.

Congratulations again Megan! Glad to have you here with us!

Welcome, we look forward to you being a part of this group. Certainly a great group of ladies here.

Hope you all are doing well this weekend. I wish it would warm up here. Baby didn't sleep well last night but he sure does during the day Time to get that changed around! He is eats so much it is nuts. He would nurse 24/7 if I allowed him to. We have had to supplement with formula. Last night he had 6 ozs of formula which…

Sheri ~ I felt this way with my first two and vowed I wouldn't breastfeed in public. Then came my third. And one day we were out getting the kids photos taken and then we stopped out for a bite to eat. My baby got hungry and I went immediately to my diaper bag to mix up some formula. Much to my surprise I had forgotten to…

Hi everyone! Guess it is time for me to start "hanging out" on this board now instead of on the pregnancy board :laugh: As soon as I post this I am going to try to get caught up on all of your posts! Since it has been a week tonight since going into labor I guess it is time to share the story here :) I started contracting…

Just wanted to say hi to everyone! I have a lot of catching up to do and plan to do so at some point today. I started contracting at 9:15 pm on Friday night and tried to go to sleep. That didn't work and finally at 1:20 am decided to call my mom to come stay with our other children so I could go to the hospital. Once I…

Good morning ladies! Just want to say hi. We will be in the hospital for one more day because they weren't able to get enough antibiotics in me before Wade arrived for the Beta Strep B. So he needs to be watched for 48 hours. It is to be 82 degrees here today so unfortunately I have to miss out on that but oh well. I truly…

Baby Wade arrived at 4:56 am! He is 8 lbs 9 ozs!

Just wanted to say hello! I had a follow up appointment today and I am now 4cm dilated! He will induce me on Wednesday if I don't go naturally before then. Katrina ~ hang in there. I know it is easier said than done but I will keep you in my prayers. Sheri ~ a big hello to you! Jamie ~ hope you are doing well! And to…

I never had them until the birth of my first daughter (not during the pregnancy though). Then got another with my second and who knows how many I have now. I have issues with them when pregnant and right after labor now. Seems like I have one for each child :blushing:

Hi everyone! I need to get caught up on today's posts. I had posted this a lot earlier and no idea why but it isn't showing up. I had another appointment today and I am 4cm dilated and still 50% effaced. Also, I lost 1.2 lbs over the past week! He will induce me on Wednesday (hate the date of the 13th and his first…

I have another appointment today at 10am. Last Friday I was 3cm and 50% and I am anxious to see if I have made any progress. My guess is no but we shall see. I am so ready for this anticipation to be over, Megan I am sure you are too. I have gone late with my first and third. My second came a few days early. I am fully…

Have you had your blood sugar levels checked by any chance? Not that I know much about this but someone I know was having terrible morning sickness and her midwife ended up checking her sugar level. And it came back low and since getting that situated she has been fine.

I cannot be of much help. Except to say, I too have scoliosis (mine is Secondary Scoliosis) that was caught in grade school. I am too much of a chicken to even think about going to a chiropractor though. I am one of those people who thinks, if I start with one it will be something I am going to have to stick with. Ugh the…

I have been the same way! On my home scale I went up almost 5 lbs in one week! Seems like regardless of how good I do in the beginning with my weight gain or the weight I start with all my pregnancies I end at about 180 lbs. Julie ~ I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Hoping your BFP is right around the corner!

And oddly enough my guy had them all the time for a LONG TIME but the past 6 or 7 days he really hasn't had them much at all.

Hey Megan! It is frustrating when they go out of town! But you are right they need vacations too. My doctor was out of town when I delieved my second. Do you feel like the baby is dropping at all? Sometimes when I stand up I swear I am feeling him moving down. Sometimes I have to stop and take it really slow. Our babies…

We have all of those and I made a stop at Target today but didn't have much time. Used most of it up when searching for nursing bras. UGH!

Thank you. I'll have to check Kohls. I had a 20% off coupon that expired this weekend. Time to get online and search for a coupon.

Unfortunately all the gender neutral stuff I had for the girls I used with my third (my son) and they went along with the donated stuff.

I will miss you guys too! But on the positive side you all will hopefully hop on over to the postnatal group when your little ones arrive. Enjoy the time with your sister tonight.
