Quick check in ~ I am so sorry for all those that had horrible days yesterday. What miserable times you had, and I cant believe the horrible processes you have to go through to get what you need. So far my dog is ok. I am just watching him carefully. I can just invision all the absorption gel from the diaper expanding in…

Has anyone ever had their dog eat an entire wet diaper? I am trying to figure out if I need to find a 24 hour vet! UGGGG, just what I needed with hubby out of town!

Mel - Seriously...you are wonderwomen. I am not sure how you are handling all this, but feel free to use us to lean on! You are amazing. Julie - When I was checking in at the hospital...obviously in labor, one of the nurses told me I didn't look pregnant enough to be in labor!!!! Not the thing to tell someone who has been…

Hi Ladies, I still need to catch up on all the posts, but I thought I would write a quick message while Ethan is naping. Things have been a bit rough here over the last couple weeks. I think we FINALLY have Ethan settled down from his colic. It literally made doing anything other than focusing on him impossible. We ended…

I am hoping to get my OK to get back to exercising at my 6 week follow up, which is this Thursday. Has anyone tried Kettlebells? My B-day is coming up, and I was thinking of asking for either freeweights or kettlebells. Anyone have thoughts? Ethan is struggling with colic! He spends about 6-8 hours a day just crying and…

Wow, I went out of town for a week, and there is so much to catch up on. Two things I quickly wanted to respond to...I will get to the rest later. Megan - Thanks for asking about how it feels down there after tearing. Mine feels the exact same way as you described. I was worried, but hopefully both of ours are normal. My 6…

Hi Ladies, I am still in NY visiting my family, so I haven't had much time to log on. I do have a question for you, experienced mommys. My little guy is 3 1/2 weeks old, and all of a sudden is SUPER fussy, all the time. If he isn't sleeping or eatting, he is fussing. He also is eatting a lot. I am pumping and bottle…

Megan - Ethan has the same congestion type issue after he eats. I am not sure why, but his breathing is all raspy sounding for about 15 minutes after feeding. I haven't noticed it when he is sleeping, so I am trying not to worry about it too much. I will put it on the list to ask the pediatrician about next time we see him…

Hi Ladies, After taking 2 weeks off after Ethan was born, to just focus on our new family of three, I am back at it, and ready to join all of you on the post pregnancy weight loss journey. I am down 22 lbs since giving birth, but boy is my body differently shaped now :cry: I know you have all mentioned this several times,…

Hi Ladies, I have a LOT of catching up to do! We took the past two weeks since Ethan was born to just focus on our family of three! Being a mommy is amazing, and even though I am sleep deprived, I am loving every minute of it. Ethan is a great baby, and only cries when he really needs something. I also am only 4 lbs away…

I love that this board is so active, but I totally cant keep up :noway: I know this is horrible to say, but I want this baby OUT....NOW. I think I hit my limit this morning. I am tired, in pain, uncomfortable, hot, swollen, etc, etc., etc. I have a Dr. appt today, and if he says I haven't dialated or effaced yet...I have a…

Bethe - Congratulations, and welcome to Baby Wade!!! Megan - Any news? We had a very busy weekend, and our first 60+ day of the year!!!!! I even managed to get sunburned at our Church Easter Egg Launch! On Friday night I started having some very very painful spasms in my back. Each time they would come, about every 5…

Just checking in...as always, so much to catch up on. Brittony - Welcome to the third trimester!!!!! I cant believe how my body changes almost every day. I wake up and am like...hunh, didn't know that my tummy could look like that! You will be surprised. Heather - I really struggled with accepting my weight gain in the…

Ron - Yes...I had horrible horrible headaches. Tylenol didn't touch them, and the only thing I could do was sleep. My dr. said it had to do with all the adjusting hormones in my body. Luckily they only lasted for about a month and a half, I would say from week 14-20. I hope you find relief soon. AnneElise - wow, that is an…

Megan and Bethe - I think you are both about ready to meet your little ones. It sounds like any day now. It is scary, as I think I am "next up" after you ladies to give birth :noway: Keep us updated on your progress. Rachel - Good luck with moving in. I am sure your excitment will help you push through the tiredness. I am…

Hi Mommies! Bumping - Hoping to join you all within the month!

Julie - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We lost my brother-in-law on an unexpected night in June 2007. I know that you will get lots of advice and support, but my one piece of advice is that over time, it will get easier to function. It wont ever be the same, but the pain will diminish and life will…

I had an awesome shower. The guests were so thoughtful and caring. One of my mom's friends got me our $90 jumpperoo from Target, and then made a large quilt by hand with the material and animals matching the animals and colors from the jumperoo. Our entire SUV was packed on the way home. We did get some doubles of things,…

:smile: :bigsmile: OFF TO MY SHOWER:bigsmile: :smile: Ok, can you tell I am excited. We are driving the 7 hours tonight, so I can be refreshed tomorrow for the big event! I am not real excited about driving 7 hours after sitting at work for 10, but hopefully all goes well. As for the gluecose test, I was told to have a…

I LOVE the idea of an exercise challenge. I would be up for it, and checking in on Mondays. I do think we should each set our own goals, or maybe make the goal timed rather than distance, as we are each at different places in our pregnancy! I know there is no way I could walk 3 miles, but 30 minutes seems doable.

wow, I seriously cant keep up with all the posts! Welcome to all the newbies, and to the crazy neighboor...go get a life. My neighboor who is 77 years old and was a L&D nurse for 30 years called me on Saturday to see how I was doing. Her first two questions: 1. How much weight have you gained? 2. Are you planning to breast…

Little Spy - your bump picture is so cute! Just an update -After my fall, I went to work, and ran my 3 hour meeting. I started cramping during the meeting, and afterword when I went to the bathroom I was spotting a little. I called the Dr. and they told me to go right to L&D. I got there around 1, and they put me on…

I need to vent a bit. So this morning I woke up at 4:30 with every smoke alarm in my house going off. I had no idea what was going on, there was no smoke and nothing smelled weird. It wasn't the CO2 one, and finally they stopped after about 5 minutes. Then I am just getting calmed down from dealing with that, and there is…

mwilson - that is so funny that the kids are in an uproar! I am sure police and dogs make the guilt show right on their faces! I LOVE the name you picked out. It is so cute. We had our first lamaze/baby basics class last night. Honestly, it was a huge waste of time and money. I am hoping that class 2-4 are better than…

Uggggg...gained 6 lbs in one week! So much for staying right on track:sad: I am so dissapointed. Our son will be circ - but as others said, it is a personal decision that each family has to weigh the options for. I am planning to rent a pump from our hospital. It is $30/month and is the hospital grade one that costs like…

YEAH!!! Hopefully that trend will continue! We told our family at 11 weeks. My co-workers found out at 8 weeks, beacause I fell down the stairs at work, cracked a bone in my leg, and had to go to the hospital. I figured they should all know why I was crying so much. It didn't have to do with the pain in my leg, it had to…

mwilson- Your picture is so cute! I am finally starting to feel a bit better. We went out to dinner last night with a friend and had Chesse Fries, Chicken Strips, and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The baby was soooooo mad by the time I got home. He was flipping, flopping, and kicking like crazy. I would like to think that he will…

Just wanted to share that Target is having a huge baby clearence in store, but not online. I went in last night and couldn't believe the deals. Ours had stuff scattered everywhere, so you had to really go up and down each isle to find all the deals. I got baby shoes for $2.50, originally $15.99, a few outfits for $2 each,…

Deciding on a name was pretty much the easiest thing we have done. The boy name we had picked out since 2002. One day our senior year of high school we were joking around about names, and I said I liked Ethan, and he was like yeah...I really like that name too. Our girl name was pretty random too. One night we were getting…

Well, my doctor is going to come in on Saturday to see me and several other patients he has had to cancel on recently!!!! I am glad that he is willing to take time to satisfy some grumpy pregnant women:bigsmile:
