Jumping in to the Challenge today... Set my goal at 30 for what's remaining in November.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone!!! I'm getting back on track after having baby, and can't wait to catch up with you all. I hope everyone has been doing really well the last four weeks since I had baby and my hiatus began. Tiziana and I are doing wonderful. I promise to update on life after baby very soon. I have posted…

At $75/month, after a couple of months, you could own your own breast pump....There are lots of pumps available in lots of price ranges. I have heard good things about Medela, but if you look up reviews on breast pumps, I'm sure you will find something that is more financially do-able that receives great reviews. And I've…

How do you upload pictures to the message board?

Nichole: All I have to say is Congratulations!!!! And I had to seriously choke back the tears! Your birth story is amazing. Doing well, feeling great! No baby yet. Finally starting to feel some Braxton Hicks, so hopefully soon. Getting anxious to the point that I'm not sleeping at night because I am hoping to feel a…

Heather, happy belated birthday! It sounds like it was amazing! And seriously, Holly isn't the only one tearing up. Too many hormonal ladies on here for the types of posts. J/K. Keep them coming. Love hearing about all of it. Melissa, bummer that the rash is back, but glad it is getting better again. Reading what you…

Hi everyone! I've been so MIA, but quickly ready through the last several pages of posts. Everyone is still happy and healthy which is awesome. Sorry to hear that some are dealing with pain, migraines, sickness, but these will pass. Keep yourselves thinking about the miracle growing in your bellies. Makes it all worth it.…

Nichole: I hope I can make it without complaints as you have til 39 weeks. You are fully within your right to be grumpy! But I wouldn't call it that. Hang in there. Baby will be here soon. Ashley: Totally understand the stressors you are dealing with right now. But everything will work out. AFM: Yesterday was ok. Diet…

Lurking... :happy: Rosanna 36 weeks, 1 day

jchecca: Yay for getting stuff done. Love that feeling! Jealous that you have a short week. nkster781: Oh my gosh..so exciting! Hopefully she won't cause much more pain because she will choose to join us here on the outside! Thanks for the article!!! jalyner: If you read the latest stats, the trend over the last 10 years…

Better_Balance: I feel that immunizations are necessary, and from what I've read, most feel they are...rather its the timing of the immunizations that they have found correlations to autism. The common practice of giving numerous immunizations at one time is what is being questioned. I plan to time the immunizations so…

ofccat: What a motivator! Amazing job. MrsJax11: So happy to hear the great news. kelley_M: Don't feel guilty. Its good to take advantage of some time alone, because very soon that will be the most difficult thing to come by. Glad you had a good day and dr. appt. kristinbee: Yay for everything going well! Kristy: Wonderful…

Ashley: Sorry about the pup. Don't start missing her yet though. Make sure you enjoy the time you have with her that much more. Welcome Jane! Positive thoughts. Welcome jalyner! Welcome kellyrorie! Rayna: Have fun at the breastfeeding class! I took one through my hospital, and it was definitely informative. I think that…

Amy that sounds delicious!!!! I am instantly starving. Gonna try that one for lunch tomorrow. Lurking, Rosanna 35 weeks, 1 day

Bump for later. Rosanna 35 weeks today!

Ok sorry, I need to post a random comment. I swear I am not planning/trying to make the top of every new page on this month's thread. That is some weird coincidence. Have a great night ladies!

They grow, and grow, and grow.... I was top heavy before getting pregnant and I can't believe what they look like now. :noway: I would probably recommend sports bras for your stage in the pregnancy. They will be tight and supportive enough, while still stretchy enough to keep growing with you. If you can find nursing bras…

Hi Rosanna, I am using my own detergent made of washing soda, borax and oxi clean. I also used a sample of Rockin' Green and a sample of Country Save. I haven't been using rash ointment w/ the cloth but I did by California Baby which is suppose to be a cloth safe ointment. In disposables I have been using Burts Bee's. If…

Hi Ladies! Hope you had a great weekend! kristy_estes2: Really good to hear from you. Glad you're back and to hear that you're hanging in there. Better_Balance: I'm totally in the same boat. Something is going to have to take a back seat. At this point, I know that for my own sanity I need to make sure that my work…

Bump for later! Happy Saturday! Rosanna 34 weeks, 4 days

Misit: Thanks so much for the relation! I can't imagine how much harder it is for you doing it on your own. You ever need to vent, feel free to message me! Sounds like despite all the work, you're doing awesome though. Good luck accomplishing everything this weekend!! Regarding the breastfeeding, I would do it as…

Thanks for the advice! Definitely going to try the pillow thing tonight. At this point my goal today is to make it through the day. I have limited my work goals to something very manageable. The rest of the day I plan to spend scheduling next week. :smile:

[/quote] I think you maybe being to hard on yourself....Remember we are all pregnant. Hormones are FLARING and "Tis the season..." so on top of already being a compliated time for us (prego women) we have additional stress of holidays/ month end & year end. Your not alone on the stress/overwhelm- We all have something…

Totally lurking! I love hearing about how all the mommas and their babies are doing! Expect me to lurk A LOT. blessedmomof3: I plan to cloth diaper as well and my understanding was that babies that were cloth diapered had less occurrence of diaper rash. Can I ask what detergent you are using? And what type of rash cream?…

Kim I hope you don't mind that I updated it again. Love the idea.

kcurtis05: Absolutely love the calender of due dates!!!! So great to see what our board looks like!! THANKS! :happy: bmfrazie: Hopefully the worst is past. I have never been on bed rest, but I get antsy just sitting around watching tv, so I couldn't imagine days on end. Maybe try to take up a new hobby like crocheting or…

Very normal. Totally felt that way in the beginning. But no worries, it subsides! Just try to recognize when you're being overly moody and try to keep it in check. You don't want everyone around you hating you when your pregnant. :smile:

Better_Balance: Thanks for the new thread! I feel the same about the calorie goal. If I get there great, if not but I'm not hungry, then great too! kellyrorie: We'll love to have you! mfpseven: Awesome goal! A lot of women on this board lost weight in the beginning of their pregnancies. Everyone's body takes to the…

You should be able to spin for as long as you can comfortably. You will want to modify your intensity as your pregnancy progresses. Exercise is not shown to cause miscarriage. You want to be aware of your intensity levels and your body temperature at all times, but more especially during pregnancy. The baby is more…
