Heather, I'm glad you are a mommy that knows that your body will deliver this baby girl eventually. :) I was also late with my first and he came when he was ready. I had a natural, no meds birth and only 6 hours of labor. we are all different and you watch, baby will be here soon. I think alot if ppl tend to forget that no…

I'm really sorry to hear this Amy. You and your family are in my prayers.

Hi Lex, I'm not sure either but my son, 12 years ago was very much advanced. He was walking by 7 and a half months. Also, when he came out instead of crying he was cooing!!! Lol. Doctors response was, "what'd you eat during this pregnancy?" I think his advancement also had something to do with him being nursed. I also…

Hi ladies!!! I'm so EXCITED its November. Yay!! I LOVE fall, although in Texas we're still in the 80s most of the time still. However, it'll get colder tonight and Thursday, so we'll enjoy colder weather soon. :D Welcome on new mommies to be!!!! YAY!! How fun. :D I had my doctor's appt on Monday and I was bummed out for…

I'm SOOOO excited for you!!! Can't wait. :) and its not even MINE!! HA!!! Enjoy the pedi. I do however have the dumbest question to ask? What do you mean that you have your hair done? I've been hearing this a lot lately with prenant women that they get all ready to give birth. Ok, so I just picture someone doing their hair…

Thank you. I actually love your middle name ;) ( my name is Elce Michelle) But YES!! to see him suck his thumb and watching him opening and closing his mouth was ADORABLE!!! I was baby talking him of course and I'm just desperate to meet him. :)

Hi ladies. Wanted to let everyone know that I just came back from the specialist this morning and the U/S shows that baby's little brain is clear of all cysts. Brain, head, and heart are all working great!!!! He is currently 1lb and 11 oz. :) The doctor was kind enough to give us a DVD and of couse more pics. Baby was…

I was wondering how so many of you guys were able to comment on almost everybody on here. What a task. I got smart and saw that Ashley was doing what I was doing then saw Heather's suggestion. I feel like a TOTAL GENIUS now!!! HA! Ashely, I also bought my dresser off a lady who sells shabby chic, etc. stuff out of her…

HI everyone!! I missed all of you. :) I'm glad to be finally back and getting into the groove of things. Heather, thanks for thinking of me!!!!!!!!!!! Just to update everyone on my half last weekend at Nike, it was pretty TOUGH!!! Of course I'm a Texan and I heard of the hills but as I always do with everything, I didn't…

I'm from Texas and will be running the Turkey Trot here Thanksgiving morning; won't be that cold. I would even say your spandex tights would be fine and a short sleve, dri fit, or technical shirt and a long sleeve on top of that. You always want to layer. so you can peel off the layers as you get warmer. So the long sleeve…

Thank you ALL, I'll be staying at the Parc 55, so definitely trying Thai. I'll be doing mostly all of what you guys suggested. THANKS!!!!

sorry for your loss. For me at the beginning I did the exact same thing. Going from drinking a gallon a day to maybe 16oz. What worked for me was ice cold water with sliced lemon.never before had I liked iced water. Just a suggestion. Good luck with everything.

Rayna, I'm using cloth diapers and have ordered 10 of them already. I'm using fuzzibunz diapers, one size. They grow with baby from 7lbs to 35. Check out the website and I've found that there the best for the price plus they have great reviews. Check out zulily.com every once in a while because I found mine on ever there…

Funny you say this because for the past week I've noticed that i've been waking up STARVING!! I mean I haven't even opened my eyes and my stomach is growling. :( Last night after my walk, I was STARVING!!!! had soup which my MIL made and I think I over ate. :( But I couldn't help it I was just so dang hungry. I'm starting…

I read this story yesterday and got so freaking pumped for my Nike Woman's this coming Sunday in San Fran. I had been really feeling nervous and just didn't know if I could do it but geez!!!! this woman is just AMAZING!!! I probably won't be finishing in her time fram but oh well, I'll get it done and sporting my new…

YES!!! on the leg cramps. I've been getting also charlie horses in the middle of the night when I start stretching out!! AWFUL!! My midwife prescribed me a mix of Calcium and Magnesium 1500 mg, must be together because of the dosing and they have gone away!!! Not fun for sure. Ask your doctor or midwife about it and see…

Welcome!! and congratulations on this wonderful journey!!! I gained about 50 lbs when pregnant the first time as well and since then I've adapted a lot healthier lifestyle and it has helped a lot and I've continued to exercise and eat healthy. I think you'll do GREAT!!!

Hi ladies, so I bought a support belt on Friday and went for a four mile walk in Saturday and it helped me tremendously. I could've kept going but want to save my energy for Nike this Sunday. So thank you all for the input and support. Rayna, as far as the baby shower, I do believe in them for your first baby, before baby…

I actually found the full skeleton suit, but since your posting I might just do the shirt. My job dresses up so this will be cute. Not sure if you ladies know, but all breast pumps are 20% off at Babies R' Us this weekend! :) That makes the Medela one I want only $240!! Part of me hates buying expensive things before…

Funny I just went through my friends list and really cut it short. I went through all older posts and only found a few friends that commented and supported me. I figure if the person didn't interact with me nor I with them then it's just that we are not aligned with the same goals. I guess now I understand why some say…

Babeed, you just cracked me up!!!! Good stuff!! Thanks for all the input. Kristinbee: Ok, so normal I'm glad, yes, its like a tightness that I feel. Ugh!!! it becomes frustrating when I can't even walk!! Geez. Thanks for your input. Better_Balance: so maybe if I just do more walking it'll get better. i'm going out again…

Ok, I have a question for you ladies that are in your second tri. I went for what I thought was going to be a 6 mile walk and only did 3 miles. The problem that I'm having is this. I feel like stretching or pulling or some sort of uncomfortable feeling on my lower abdomen. I guess maybe ligaments. Has anybody else…

Hi ladies. Super excited that its Ocotober!! Being from Texas and having so many 100degree plus days, I'm dying for Fall weather. I have been down and out this weekend having been hit with sinus pressure, sneezing and watery eyes!! I think it was from the following weeks stress and no rest plus our 56 degree mornings and…

So decided update you ladies on what seems like a week from hell!! FIL in the hospital has been stressful. After the sono, this Tuesday, I recieved a call from my midwife the next day stating that it looked like I had a 2 vessel cord instead of a 3 vessel cord. She also said that there were two possible cysts on babies…

WOW!!!! and OMG!!! are the only words that came out of my mouth. what an accomplisment!!!!!! Great work and dedication!

HI everyone. So, yesterday I had my U/S and its a BOY!! this will be my second and I love it! I'm overly excited about meeting baby. My whole weekend was messed up and wound up in the hospital with a sick FIL and threw my whole schedule off completely. :( I didn't get anything done and am completely exhausted!!! To say the…

This is HILARIOUS!! Made my morning!!!!

Thanks! What's up with the tickers and how can I get mine put up? :( I can't figure it out!!! ok, figured it ou!! HA!

Just found this thread and love it!! I'm 5 months pregnant as of yesterday!! yay!! I've ran 1 half marathon pregnant already and will be doing Women's Nike in San Fran in a few weeks!!! EXCITED! I won't be running that one for sure. I'm starting to show and I get uncomfortable. So I'll be walking this one. :) I did do my…

I didn't get the genetic testing. Only becasue I was told the test only gives you a percentage of how likely you are to have whatever it is they're looking for. If you're a higher percentage then they'd schedule the actual procedure to test. This is my 2nd pregnancy and my first I started to show physical symtons right…
