Amber --- So very sorry for your loss! I have been there and had two miscarriages (one single and one w/twins). I know it is so hard to go through. Like Bethany, the doctors never found a reason for the losses. I also was on a baby aspirin and my last pregnancy stuck around. Just...

Congratulations Amber!!! : ) Melanie

Amber -- so sorry for your friend, that is heart breaking, I just can't imagine loosing my boy. On another note -- back when my brother and I came around (70's) we were put to sleep on our tummies. Funny how times change ; ) Melanie

Winter -- I am 37 and already feel like we need to start planning whether or not to plan for a 2nd. I would like two but we will have to have the second fairly quickly. Likely start trying after 9 months -- my ob/gyn said to wait 9 mo after my C/S. It will be a hard decision b/c I love the...

Well I was not w/your group but I did follow along.... Amber, Your girl is so very cute! Sorry about the miscarriage, I understand as I had two back in 2009. Hang in there, it does get better with time. Winter, Your little one is so cute also : ) Good luck w/traveling, I can't imagine...

I am in the same boat! My son will be 3 months old later this week. I only get one or two workouts in a week. I go back to work in 2 wks and I know it will not be any easier. I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I am still a size larger and skin is still loose. It's a bit depressing...

That is wonderful Bethany! Breastfeeding is so much easier. Once I made it past the 3 -4 week mark, I have not had any problems. Unfortunately, I return to work 6/17 : ( I am dreading it, but ready to get into a regular routine. Evan will be in daycare part time and I will be...

Bethany, First of all, I am thrilled for your pregnancy. I have not seen you here lately, and was hoping all was well. Do you know if you are having a boy or girl? I failed my one hour test by 1 point but I passed the 3 hr test. I hope your testing goes well. It may not be your diet, could...

We have the Bjorn "baby carrier air" and have used it several times, my son is 7 weeks old. He seems to enjoy it and is fairly comfortable for me. I don't have any other carriers to compare. I agree with Liann, he does seem to be bottom heavy, but he doesn't seem to mind. I had originally...

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments for baby Evan I can't believe he will be one month old tomorrow!! Wastewitch -- thanks for the encouragement! Breast feeding is getting better, for the most part. My only problem is I have enough milk for him feeding, but not enough to build a...

Meet Evan!

Hey ya! Due to my hypertension (PIH not preeclampsia) we went in for induction on 3/1. After 24 hours of labor, Evan was born by c-section on 3/3 at 1234 am at 7 lbs 4 oz! He is so precious and super cute. We are blessed to have him in our lives. Breast feeding is a challenge having to use...

Hi Jen, Glad you are getting relief with the band! This is our first, we are going to name him Evan Michael : ) Have a wonderful weekend. Mel

Well, I have been on modified bed rest since last Friday d/t elevated BP > 150/80 Going to OB twice a week for non stress test, urine check, all good, baby is doing great. Not preeclampsia, just hypertension. The BP's keep going up now 150-170/90-100's, I will be at 37 weeks on Friday...

So funny, I was going to post today!! Great minds.... Jen, I cannot believe how sick you have been this pg! You are like a cold magnet. It must be so hard to wait to find out the sex of the baby! I have to hand it to ya : ) I hear you about the workouts, they have been very sporadic at...
