Last night when I was nursing Wade I remembered you had posted the weight of Joshua in a previous post. Not sure how I forgot that and remembered in the middle of the night :blushing: My son Brooks was the same weight and 20.5 inches.

Congratulations Lynn! He is so adorable. How much did Josh weigh? Congratulations Annabelle! Hope all is going well for you.

Welcome back Mel! We have missed you. Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy. Ronya, happy anniversary! Hope you and your husband have an enjoyable night tomorrow.

Welcome back Anne! We've missed you too!

This is from Annabelle!

Congratulations Annabelle! So happy for you! Hope you had a smooth move! We have a new thread for June. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/253789-magnificent-mamas-closed-group?page=7#posts-3456244

Thanks Megan! He is doing quite fine today and sleeping as we "speak." Yay!

Thanks Ronya! He did get quite cranky yesterday afternoon during closing chapel at my kids' school :blushing: But he is slept well last night and is doing fine today. Same thing with the weather here. Nice change from the hot 95+ weather. Yesterday was so odd when it got down into the 50s after the hot Monday through…

I completely agree Rachael! Wade had his immunizations today. He did really well and hopefully the "he might sleep more" part comes true today.

I am on day 7 today. While I believe it is good in the short amount of time, I still feel I need more. I plan to do Slim in 6 again after these 30 days. That program really worked for me after the birth of my third child. Now it is time to take off the baby weight again for the last time. :)

Congratulations Lynn on the birth of your beautiful son. Hugs to you and your family!

I agree with Sheri. Orange juice always got my little one moving. Hope you are enjoying your vacation.

Jamie, wish I could get that much milk! In the mornings I usually get 4 ozs at most :sad:

Oh wow Lynn! Praying you have a smooth and wonderful labor and birth. I will be thinking of you and cannot wait to see your little man.

Hopefully you have good results tomorrow. Keep us posted and try to get some rest!

Rachel, I went natural with my first two babies basically because at the time my doctor didn't want his patients to get one. He said it was because the hospital wanted the doctors to stay around until the patient was up and able to walk around. Basically he didn't want to have to wait at the hospital for the epidural to…

Sheri you look beautiful, as does Brooklyn. I so want to meet all you wonderful ladies someday. I know I am nuts but I don't have a lot of "girl" friends because of drama that goes along with it. We as a group seem to be drama free! Hugs to you all!

You are so right Sheri! My left breast (my right, not so much) does not have a slow flow nipple! I have breastfed with all four of my children and while I wish I produced more I am very thankful for my left boobie! :smile: I will again say I am slightly jealous of those who have no problem in the milk producing department.…

You're welcome Julie! I never have pumped directly into a storage bag. I have always been one to pump into the bottle and then dump into the bag.

Good questions Lynn! I usually keep my milk separate each time I pump. I will combine it though when making a bottle. I keep it separate so I know which milk is the newest. Kind of silly but that is what I do and definitely not necessary. Often when I pump I keep it out and give it to him in a bottle when he is ready.…

Thank you for the encouraging words. They help me more than you guys know! Got day 4 done of 30 Day Shred. After I complete 30DS I plan to do Slim in 6 (love this program). So far my ankle is holding up. Still aches sometimes but not awful. Hugs to all you wonderful ladies!

I used dry disposable cloths (that you wet with water) in the hospital because that is what they provided. At home I have always used regular wipes with no problem on my newborns. Loved the poem you shared. It is so true.

Congratulations Mel on your handsome little guy!

My husband just helped me and took my before photos and wow :grumble: :noway: :sad: :huh: not good! I cried when I saw them.

Yay Steph! Happy for you! Praying this will be a healthy pregnancy for you. Lynn ~ thanks for the update on Mel.

Ron ~ I am sorry to hear about your friend. Megan ~ sorry to hear TOM showed up so fast. I have been fortunate in the past (knock on wood) and it doesn't return until 9 months or so after birth. :Lynn ~ I just saw on the other board that they found an antibiotic for you to take. So happy that has worked out. Hope you all…

Sorry to here AF came Carina. Thinking of you.

I have never done kegels on a regular basis, either before or after birth.

You will be fine! My babies were always out in four pushes or less (all four of them). When it comes time to push you feel lots of relief. It feels good to be able to push. My doctor wasn't there quickly and I had to hold off pushing with my first (they didn't think I would go as quickly as I did and the nurses thought…

Hiccups can be so annoying! But remember that means a healthy baby who is practicing breathing.
