Glad to see everyone is doing well. I'm just poping in to share my birth story. I must say it was more intense then I could have ever remotely imagined but the reward at the end is so worth it....baby number 2 just might be a little further away then my pre-delivery planning had it haha. Evelyn Mya's birth story. On June…

Dragon- Oh trust me I've been trying all those aside from the castor oil, since I've read studies it may be linked to meconium staining in LO's. I also am doing lots of squats, lunges, bouncing on my exercise ball, red leaf raspberry tea, went for a pedicure, intercourse, you name it if it's medical safe I've tried it. My…

Melissa- The book is called, On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam. I picked up a copy on eBay for $1.65 plus shipping. I'm glad some of your dresses are still fitting. Have a safe drive and a fun trip! Kelley- Glad to hear your nanny is back! I still haven't packed my hospital bag, LO's has been packed for…

Emily- My cold actually only lasted about a week, which was a pleasant surprise. It usually takes me a lot longer to get over them. Sounds like baby is going to be closer to the 9 pound mark, you're just doing too good of a job feeding him! My sister had her son 6 weeks premature and he was over 7 pounds I can't imagine…

Melissa- Stress in with the hormones is never good. Hopefully DH and you are able to work it though and relax a little as it comes closer to baby time. You're doing great with the exercise, keep it up! Brunette- I'm a little jealous of the glucose flavour options. Lemon lime sounds much more appealing then orange, although…

Sarah- Great work on the move and glad the bed isn't too bad. Yay for great husbands! I have been drinking WAY more milk then I have since I was a child. Almost every meal I have a big glass of it. I think around the 2000-2200 calorie range is right for 3rd trimester. Emily- Haha sorry about the confusion. Either way I…

AFM- Well my husband has graciously shared his head cold with me(I had managed to avoid it for almost 2 weeks) and it has hit with a vengeance the last 2 days. Today I got up at 730 to let the dogs out to pee then promptly went back to bed until 1030 followed by making myself some breakfast and laying on the couch until my…

Amy- Welcome! My baby shower is June 24th as well although my bunch of joy will be here to celebrate it with us. Kelley- Good luck with the nanny gone. I'm still really unsure how you 2nd+ time moms do it. I can't imagine having to entertain another person right now. Jalyn- I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news for…

Good Morning Mama's and Mama's to be, Melissa- I hope the house hunting went well. I can't imagine adding that stress to this time in my life. Kcurtis- CC is sooo adorable. Congrats! Hope you were able to enjoy your first Mother's Day even with your hubby away. I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day and weekend. I…

Good Morning Ladies, Tara- YAY congrats on your baby girl. Kelley- I'm glad you're girls trip went well. The Hunger Games series is WAY better then the movie but it always goes that way it seems. Jalyn- I like your thinking about not knowing what you "need." I haven't had anyone ask really so I went to my Mom and made a…

Tara-Great work keeping up with the walking. I hope if baby is not here by Thursday they are able to induce you shortly after! Melissa- Thanks! I’ve got an appointment with the Doctor on Friday and plan to make sure things are still progressing as normal. I’m sure having those oral boards done is a huge weight off your…

Yahya- Thanks! We love the way it turned out. Kelley- Sorry to hear about the insomnia. I think I may go crazy if I end up suffering it. They say something like 65% of 3rd trimester mom's get it at one point or another. AFM- Well spent all day yesterday running between my bed and the bathroom :( We missed out 2nd day of…

Hey Ladies, Here are some pictures of my finished Winnie the Pooh nursery! http://i46.tinypic.com/x5o1m1.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/donash.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/14o7jfl.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/j5f6vo.jpg Jalyn- I have never tried acupuncture either so I will let you know after the 9th haha. I've never had the Vit B…

Jalyn- I tried to go for a walk this weekend and got about a third of the way done from what I’d planned and had to turn around because I was in pain and couldn’t breathe. I find these days that even if I’m doing a lot of talking I get out of breath and have to stop and do a nice big breath before I can continue haha.…

Oh my goodness that is adorable! Love it! :)

Tara- I hope the LO decides to show up soon for you. What’s your final guess on date and sex since you seem to be dead on with everyone else? Emily- Welcome! Wahoo for narrowing down a name! Kelley- Yay for sales! I don’t know how you guys do it not knowing the sex. I had a pretty strong feeling right from the start it was…

Jayln- Haha that made me giggle. It is a little late yes :wink: Being in the health care field I have seen many epidurals and can't recall a single one that there were problems. Yes I too have heard the horror stories but they are relatively few and far between. I'm not getting an epidural only based on the fact the rural…

Kristin- Congrats on the little girl. I love your new profile picture. Looks like a perfect little family! Rachel and Amanda- Can’t wait to hear your birth stories. Congratulations on the arrival of healthy babies! Jane- Hope the Dr. Issue resolves itself quickly! Kelley- Glad you had a good trip to visit your family.…

Kristin- It's here!!!! Hope everything goes super smoothly for you! AFM- This desk job is kicking my butt. I'm more exhausted working 9 hours a day then I was working 48 hours straight and not getting a solid night's rest. Sorry I've been MIA. Today is another busy day as I have a pre-natal and an appointment with my…

Good Morning Ladies, My morning started off with a bang. Woke up to one of the dogs puking at 5:55 so got up and cleaned that up and decided my back was too sore to go back to bed so I'm up for the day(which on a rare day off is way too early!) Heading to Banff today for our 1st anniversary and babymoon. Hope it's a nice…

Kristi- Our room started beige too and I think if I hadn't found a room design I loved I would have kept it that was with some colour accent pieces for decorations. Painting is proving to be a lot of work! Love your new picture! I know what you mean on the feeling of 8-10 weeks to Mommy time. Hubby and I were cuddling on…

Kristi-I'm glad you were able to get a more comfortable answer from the doula. I can't imagine having all of those "mandatory" timed stipulations to my own labour. It still baffles me how little maternity leave you guys get. I guess with your economy though it's good to have a job to come back to regardless of time off…

Hey Everyone, Well all I can say is WOW, I'm exhausted. I feel like I've hit a brick wall mentally and physically the last few days. I still have 10 ish weeks to go and not sure how to pick up the energy. As of today I am no longer working shifts on the ambulance and will start light duties on Monday in an office so…

Good Morning Momma's to Be! Well I have officially hit trimester 3!!! Very excited! I can't believe in another 12 weeks(ish) baby will be here! Well I've been having a lot of trouble with a rib I've popped out in my back and it has got the best of me this week. I ended up calling in sick for all of my shifts this week,…

Good Morning Momma's to Be! Welcome all newcomers! Well my rib has got the best of me this week. I ended up calling in sick for all of my shifts this week, thankfully I had almost 200 hours of sick time banked up since I was scheduled for 72 hours this week. I broke down and took some Tylenol a few times this week. I know…

Destiny- I hate people who want to name your baby for you. They had their chance to pick names and now it's your turn. Chose what you and DH like, it is after all YOUR baby. Kelley- MIL came back with great choices. I tend to be very ummmm opinionated on what I want and there was maybe only 2 out of 30 outfits I went meh,…

Kristi- Rib is still bothering me. Went for a massage yesterday and came home in more pain then I started I think. No update on the schedule. All I can say about the Bachelor is wow haha. Not excited I have to wait 2 weeks for the finale though ;) My thinking lately has been around D-day a lot too. Baby is still breech and…

Destiny- My rib is still bothering me. It felt great for a couple days after my adjustment but must have slipped out again. Glad the interview went well. Bg-Welcome Jane- Congrats on the baby movements it was definitely a very exciting moment for hubby and myself when it happened for us. Hope Tuesday goes well. Kelley- My…

Sarah- So glad to hear you were able to reach a decision with your husband on circumcision! I would agree that 8 weeks would be too long for me between prenatals! Good luck on the no chocolate. Kelley- Glad you had a nice visit with the family even if it was busier then expected. I did watch Bachelor last night and that…

Congratulations!! I'm glad everyone is healthy and happy! Amanda
