Anne- Hope your head feels better today Julie- sounds fine to me, you’re giving way more than I would. Visitors can become stressful especially when you’re running on adrenaline. Just be sure to grab Maisie and take her to your room to “nurse her” when you feel overwhelmed. Everyone needs to understand that your life is…

Hope the showers go well today, I got out in nature to and its doing the body good =) ok well the mind. I took my June photo! Fun hike!, Brooklynn's first and Mc Donalds ice cream after :laugh:

Brittony – I kicked hubby out much sooner than 37 weeks, I almost slipped because we couldn’t switch sides easily and that did it for me. Ronya- I SOOOO agree, hubby and I decided that Brooklynn can not date until AFTER college, lol! MIL had her first at 14 (turned 15 the next day) hubby at 17 and then 2 more… one at 19…

You're strong, I HATE shots... I always have hubby hold them, I cant look. Hope you're able to get out of the house and hubby gets up to help.

we do mommy and me showers and she fusses if we're not in by 7:15. Hubby brings her when I'm done showering and I clean her in a minute....way easier than pulling out the baby bath which she hates. she's a shower kind of girl funny that it started as me trying to cool her down on a hot day. she's simple shower, boobie and…

Mel- you amaze me, I am not sure how you manage to keep it all together. We are here if you need to vent. You’ve got a whole lot on your plate. Hopefully he starts sleeping good soon, Brooklynn took about 6-7 weeks to get on a “schedule”. I happily take a 8-1 stretch Brittony- I use the medela bottles, the go right on your…

Julie can't figure out how you don't look super pregnant to everyone. I think you look pregnant :laugh:

I actually would not talk to my doctor, I have gone in for counseling when I was much younger and they are too quick to medicate. I had this problem before and it was caused by birth control so hopefully I can get it out of my system soon. I came to terms with it after many weeks of denial and thinking oh its because I…

Annabelle- such an amazing birth story! Thanks for sharing Bethe- You’ll be back there Mel- So glad Gabriel got to come home, hope he lets you keep up on the work and such. Is hubby helping out since he’s home? Amanda- glad you found a way to calm Ethan, I have been depressed lately.... hubby may say you're not but I think…

motivational photos I was 160ish with hubby when we moved in together size 9/10 but naturally wanting to be more like 130 The other is at the Colorado river probbly about 150 and wanting to be 125, hmm wondering if I've ever been happy. I've set my goal to 150 which is the high end at 5'7 but will see how I feel then,…

Annabelle- Esca is absolutely gorgeous, glad all went well Anne- I wouldn’t worry about the ultrasound dating, it just means she is most likely on the bigger side. My babies usually measure bigger than what they expect, Brooklynn was measuring bigger but the doctors usually do not change your due date since it is just an…

Happy anniversary Ronya!!

Aww so glad he's coming home and will get the chance to grow a bit first you're doing awesome with your weight. /you're already half way there

Amazingly accurate in your prediction, you are so in tune

Absolutely precious looking forward to hearing all about it and hoping you can get some rest

Have a sugary drink or coffee and lay on your side, I often did not feel Brooklynn move all day and would freak out but a cup of juice usually helped. As long as you are feeling Elise at some point during the day or night I am sure all is fine

I have only set mine to 1 lb a week which gives me 1700 calories, I often am way under. Especially on days that I exercise but it was my understanding that you need 1800 calories to have good breast milk so I try to keep it at a net of 1300 minimum since the nursing brings your net to a -500 at the start of the day. I am…

Jamie – WOW 6-8 OZ, I wish! Shape ups, hmm… I bought some Fila ones because they were cheap and I notice a slight difference when I walk but I one time I did aerobics with them on and oops! Hurt my knee, come to think of it maybe I re-injured when running. Still barely getting around but manage to work out, ,lol. Danielle-…

Good luck Lynn so excited for you! Not the preeclampsya or induction but that you will be meeting Josh very soon. T&P with you <3

Thanks ladies for all of the kind words, I am super excited about taking the June picture when that time comes. I am a work in progress but at least I can see that I am getting somewhere. I absolutely agree about the drama and girl friends, I have 2 childhood friends which I speak to every so often, my coworkers who I see…

Ok ladies, I managed to get my April and May pictures, I will take a June one in the middle of the month. April May

Since I am not a SAHM I have to pump 3-4 times a day and 6-8 of the small bottles is not practical to bring to work with me. I pump 4-6 oz at a time so 2-3 oz per bottle. I got some of the large Medela bottles they hold like 9 oz each in them. I only need 2 right now since I have about 12-14 oz of milk 6-7 oz per bottle by…

Congratulations Mel sorry you can't see your boy yet get some rest. You did awesome and got your vbac!!!

Have you tried childrens place? I got one at Target in the baby section where you would find onesies and stuff they only had 2 kinds though, the ones in the clothing department were all 6 months

I started immediately and Brooklynn has gone from 8 lbs 3 oz to nearly 13 lbs in 9 weeks so she definately gets everything she needs.. I set my weight loss goal to 1 lb a week and I add nursing mother to my food diary. It comes out as a negative 500 calories which you eat back. As long as you are getting plenty of breast…

Wow no action on postnatal, hope everyone is working on their goals

Steph hooray. So.excited for you stay positive it will work out Ronya Hubby has always gone to the kids appointments so he can handle the shots I'm too emotional Bethe you're in great shape and hello you just had Wade it took you 9 months to put the weight on it will take time for it to come off Rachel. I've always used…

Lynn- unfortunately she decided that Wednesday was her last day and told me on Tuesday, ugh! She went the last few days without pay because she is fine with money and was in more pain than it was worth. I had the same issue with my blood pressure with my first, it is super scary. They would make me come in 3 times a week…

Anne – have an awesome vacation Megan – Boo for TOM, I’ve had spotting a couple of times but nothing more than 2 or 3 days. I’m hoping to keep it away for quite some time. Lynn- Any day now! I hope you’ve got your bags packed because Josh is coming any time now <3 Meook- Ultrasounds are so fun! I am EBF, I plan on doing so…
