Oh wow! Other Mothers is low priced, but ugh customer there was very poor my last two visits. I like the west side location, but further for me. There is The Cedar Chest on the westside. I haven't been there, but heard good things. I also shop Savers. I hate the juniper!

Challenge Monday walked 35 minutes Tuesday walked 35 minutes Wednesday walked 35 minutes Thursday cleaning light effort 60 minutes Friday walked 105 slow pace and vinyasa yoga 30 minutes

That is wonderful, how fun!

Lucky you! I would love painting help, but dh is not good at painting.

I always paint in pregnancy, always, several rooms usually. I keep windows open and if I can use low, no VOC. I stopped at the baby resale shop this afternoon on the way to a birthday in ABQ. I won't even go into the rude customer service. I am still so mad. But I found baby socks 20 cents each and 14 bibs, 7 boy, 7 girl…

That is awful!

Yay for week 35! I couldn't work in labor, mine are usually too fast!

Well good evening ladies. Dh and I are on our way out to dinner and a movie, maybe a little baby shopping.

That is correct in terms of fraternal twins. Also it is thought that pregnancies, more often than we once knew, start as twins. Often one baby stops developing and is reabsorbed. We are seeing this more as women have U/S's much earlier than they used to.

I have spent about $25 for each set w/ each new baby coming. I have all the girly stuff from Finnian since he was a boy. I have added a few things to the girl pile and bought several new pieces for the boy pile. It is in my newborn baby bin for clothes, girl one side, boy the other. When it gets close to baby arriving I…

Just got back from the zoo w/ the kids. Lots of walking. We live 40 minutes from ABQ and the zoo, up here in the mountains we are surrounded my juniper. It is ow blooming. I have become so allergic to it the past few years. I could scratch my face off and eyes, it is horrible.

Here is some info on diet before the test. http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/gttDiet.html

I just buy a set of newborn for each sex, I usually buy practically new at baby resale shops. I don't like gender neutral clothes.

I wish I had stuck w/ transferring care and continuing w/ my HB plans w/ my first pregnancy.

It is part of your body, really not as big of a deal as you would think. Well I just try to keep busy. if they get too intense I drink a half glass of wine. Otherwise sleep in late pregnancy is often elusive so I take naps. That is about it, it just is and I can't change it. I have only seem my mucous plug in one…

I don't follow most of that, common sense dictates what I do.

Hot baths every pregnancy, all through. Couldn't live w/o them.

Oh that is so hard. More TMI questions, but has this happened more than once and were you properly aroused. It can be a challenge at the end. You can check your cervix after sex, nice and loose and wet, in the bath, one leg up on the tub or toilet, or squatting. Just reach in w/ two fingers, if your cervix is posterior,…

I have noidea on the HCG numbers, I had those tests, but you sure can't give a baby back. If it is two you have plenty of time to adjust :)

Different how? Painful, can't orgasm, not pleasurable? You can check your own cervix BTW.

Welcome!

The problem I see is red circles around a weight number and a nutritionist stating a women should not gain any more weight. Yes, ideally they should be saying, you have gained x number of pounds the last two months. I would like you to bring in this diet sheet the next visit so we can go over diet and see if there is…

Just make sure it has never been in an accident carseats should never be used after any motor vehicle accident, even a very low impact.

It should not be that way. Have you thought about a new care provider?

I'd love a challenge for exercise, but the weight for me and keeping my gain at a certain number is unrealistic. I could do this kind of thing not pregnant, but I have found that is just not the same pregnant.

Ok, hold on here! First no care provider should make you feel bad about your gain in pregnancy, ever! I don't drink soda, eat any boxed food and workout 4-5 days a week at least and I am 25 weeks today and have gained, after todays weighing, 25lbs. Like I said in another post, being pregnant 10 pregnancies, pregnancy…

Whatever leftovers we have goes into dh's lunch, but I do find at least once a week he does not eat it. I get so irritated as it could have been food we could have eaten. Plus he we have to ask him to bring home his containers and they are gross by the time they arrive home, but that is another vent, LOL.

It used to be I was the one eating "bad" food and craving it, overeating. I have slowly, through the last several years changed much of how we eat. Before, while our diet was whole foods, it was heavier. My dh was freaking out at first, but over time he has really adapted. He now loves things like lentil tacos, hummus,…

This is absurd. I would not care what they said, you cannot just eat fruit and veggies and not gain any more weight. Mama listen to yourself, you know you need to eat. No one can live off of one food group, that isn't even acceptable. I have been much heavier than I am now in many of pregnancies, 250 plus. Some pregnancies…

It is ridiculous the US is so far behind in this regard. Dh took off 12 weeks last time and 6 weeks w/ our 9th. Previously he has taken off unpaid leave for 2 weeks.
