That's great! Keep up the good work!

I weigh myself about once or twice a year when I go to the doctor. Last year was more, since I was pregnant :smile: We don't own a scale. I just go by how my clothes fit and how I look in the mirror.

Congrats Melissa! Can't wait to read your story!! Does that mean I'm next?!?! Oh my. I had an appointment yesterday and my BP keeps creeping up slowly, so I will be induced on Wednesday instead of Nov. 4th, like we had been planning on. I am 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced...praying my cervix thins out more before next week!…

Wow. So. Tired! Everything is going alright though :) I keep having to have extra tests and ultrasounds because of the high blood pressure (its not Pre-e, I had high bp before pregnancy). Last Friday we had an ultrasound and she stuck her tongue out at us...the time before she flipped us off...so I'm thinking she may be a…

I like to get the individual crystal light packets (or the walmart brand) and add those to my water. I only add about 1/4th a packet to a bottle of water...that way it gives it just enough flavor and not too much :)

Whoa...my ticker moved to the last box! That's crazy!

Melissa - You're getting so close!!! Sorry the concert didn't go as planned, but glad you still seemed to have a good time!

Yay! Congrats!!

I had that the other day! Terrible! I did the stretching as well (and got the same strange looks from my husband) but didn't really find anything to relieve it. She eventually moved over and I was better. If you figure something out that works, let me know in case it happens again!

LindsayChick -My miscarriage was 'natural' as well. I had my first u/s at wk 11 showing no heartbeat. The dr had me come back the next week for another just to make sure the dates weren't off and there was no growth. I started light bleeding the week between the ultrasounds and then I believe it was the next week that I…

Congrats, Caperfae!!

Bump :)

Praying for you, Lindsay. I went through this last year and know how hard it is. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a message.

That's so great, Julz! Glad everything went well for you! Congrats :happy:

I have an all day childbirth class at the hospital tomorrow, any suggestions on what I should take with me to it? I was thinking I would take a pen and notepad...

Danielle - He is adorable!!!!!

Yes, this is my first (other than a miscarriage last year). Our weight stats are practically the same too! My pre-preg weight was 145 and as of last friday's Dr appt I weighed 168 :smile: Is this your first?

Whoa, I moved up a box! I wish I had time to respond to all of you!!

Wow, September already! Caperfae – I don’t have any glucose problems (yet-knock on wood) but I don’t think I could live without my carbs! Ha! Glad you’re getting it under control. Abeare-Those are great benefits! When I worked in daycare seven years ago, I got paid $7.50 an hour with no additional benefits. Terrible! Julz-…

Finally, I have the time to catch up on this board! If I miss anyone, I’m sorry! Congrats, Rachel! Anne- Love your picture of Elise! She’s beautiful! Danielle- Great job on the maternity pictures! I need to get those done. I think we’re going to have my husband’s cousin do them. She is fantastic (and affordable)! I’m not…

So...finding full time infant child care is a nightmare. Any tips? Any questions I should be asking? I have a list, but I don't want to miss anything. We were wanting an in home daycare, but no one seems to want to hold a spot until we need it in January.

A lot of people have told me this as well, so I'm not worried yet! Thanks so much for the support :happy:

I'm sorry I haven't been as active on this board than I would like to be! Work has been absolutely crazy for the last few months! I'm also taking Grad classes...so that takes all of my time in the evenings! Hopefully once things slow down I'll be able to be on here more. I do read almost everything you all post though…

My close friend lost her mucous plug all at once and after that it was about two weeks before she delivered.
