    Hello everyone! Again, not sure where the time goes and I can't remember the last time I posted. Oops. Jen, you're soooo close to seeing your beautiful daughter in person! Very exciting! How's your mom doing? When was her surgery? Jess, I read your church is throwing you a shower...

    C-section recovery & more

    Jennifer, what a nightmare that you've gone through! You've done the only thing that you could do and that's take care and recover physically from the trauma it put you through. For breastfeeding (if you still want to), have you tried contacting the La Leche League? Maybe they have someone in...

    Week of 2/2/09 Preggo Check In

    That's horrible, Clarissa! I pray everything is recovered for you. I couldn't imagine losing all of my kiddo's pictures or financial information. Did you have a chance to pull pt info for 2008 taxes? Jen, does the pain stop when you stop working out or does it linger? Do you have a dr...

    Week of 2/2/09 Preggo Check In

    Hello everyone! Glad I haven't had those cramps since the other night. Now I've got something else icky going on. At night I'm swollen down there, but only on one side. I googled it, but I don't think it's anything it mentioned. It goes away by morning. I did find something that mentioned...

    Jan 26th Pregnancy Check In Week

    Hello everyone! We watched the Super Bowl here, just the 3 of us. I mostly paid attention during the commercials then quite a bit at the end when it got close. DS and I played monster trucks during most of the game. We had a few snacks, but not too terribly bad. Some cheese and crackers and...

    Jan 26th Pregnancy Check In Week

    Laura, I agree that dream was really scary. I, too, miscarried the first time I was pregnant. It took another 5+ yrs to feel ready to try again. We were nervous and scared the entire time I was pregnant with DS. As for not knowing how to change diapers and what to do. I had to learn how...

    Jan 26th Pregnancy Check In Week

    Skyy, great belly pic! Mine looks the same size as yours. = ) Are you feeling better? Any more nausea? I haven't worked out in over a week and I'm bummed about it too. My upper hamstring/lower buttocks gets really sore in the evening. I had a couple of days where one of my hips would...

    Extreme Home Makeover

    I live in a small town west of Wichita. I have an aunt & uncle who live in Concordia. We spent many "vacations" there. Not exactly a fave destination of mine back then since I had to hang out with my brother and 5 boy cousins. LOL

    Jan 26th Pregnancy Check In Week

    Jess, I love, love, love the bedding! Looks great with the color of the crib and dresser! I think my stroller (Graco..and part of a travel system) is like that (only 4 yrs older). It's heavy, but sturdy. We never had a problem with it and we'll be using it again. Thanks, Jen! I was...

    Jan 26th Pregnancy Check In Week

    Jen, great belly pics! You are getting soooo close! Yippee! As for the bouncy and the entertainer thing, we used the bouncy seat a LOT. For the first couple of months, DS slept in his bouncy seat. He would cry and cry in his crib. We would gently bounce the seat with our toes and he would...

    Extreme Home Makeover

    I just finished watching it. I'm from a small town in KS too. My best friend's DH is from Chapman. His family's house was hit, but they were able to rebuild. I hadn't heard that the schools were supposed to be their safe places. Wow! Thank goodness the schools weren't full of people that...

    Week of Jan 19 Pregnancy Check In

    Skyy & Clarissa, glad to see that you two are feeling better! That had to be scary. The u/s lady said the dizziness/nausea that i felt was normal. Something about the uterus weight pressing on the vena cava (um...or vena something..haha). When we walked into the u/s room there was a...

    Week of Jan 19 Pregnancy Check In

    Skyy, wow! Having contractions already?! Oh my! Hope you're feeling better in the morning. You must have been mega-dehydrated. Jess, it sounds like you're having a great time (nesting)! I think it's fabulous! It's all stuff you'll need plus (most things) will have some resale value to...

    Week of Jan 19 Pregnancy Check In

    Hello everyone! Doing okay here. Sleeping much better since DH volunteered to sleep on the couch. LOL I feel bad, but I really do sleep much better. I end up sleeping crosswise on the bed. Weird, but it's comfy. I offered DH the other 2/3 of the bed, but he didn't jump at the offer of...

    Thanks, Jen! I'm hoping his day gets better too. Poor guy was so upset that he lost rights to the computer for the day. It's so hard not caving in and changing my mind. It's not too cold today so maybe by getting him outside he'll forget all about it. My bit of advice about breastfeeding...

    Week of Jan 19 Pregnancy Check In

    Good morning, everyone! Wow Jen! 36 weeks!! Woohoo! You are due in less than a month! That's exciting! I took the breastfeeding class before DS was born. I learned a few things, but having the nurses at the hospital help was key. To me, it's a lot easier to learn something like that...

    Week of Jan 19 Pregnancy Check In

    Hi everyone! Hi Clarissa! Hi JanJan! Clarissa, I'm due about the same time as you (3/10, but have a c-section scheduled 3/4). I'm expecting my 2nd (a girl) and I feel like I'm carrying higher this time. I'm definitely bigger and will be heavier with this one by the time it's delivered...
