Hi ladies! I got in two good long powerwalks this week. About 4 miles on flat roads with the stroller on Weds, and 4 miles of intense hills on Sunday! Today is the first day of my last week of working--I can't stop smiling! On Mother's Day lots of people said I look like I've dropped, and...

Well 2 years ago when I had DD, I felt the first twinges of early labor around noon. Stayed home alone, just fine, until DH got home from work around 6. We called the Dr, who determined I should come in at midnight. I was most certainly "in labor" those hours at home, and near midnight I...

I think Wendy's bundle of joy will arrive on May 17th at 6AM after 6 hours of labor (do we mean from the first twinge, or from being admitted to the hospital? The timing of labor always confuses me!) I think little Joey will weigh 6lb 12 oz and be 20 1/2 inches long! Best wishes Wendy...

OHHH it might mean you're close! I lost mine just as we were about to leave for the hospital to have DD! I was in early labor all day, and that evening Dr said to come in at midnight. At 11:30pm as we were heading out the door I went to the bathroom one last time and had a bloody mucousy...

RE: A Large Group Hello ladies- I just wanted to check in and say hi! My workouts took a tumble this week because of rotten weather. Since powerwalks and stroller walks are my only source of exercise, I am very dependant on the weather. For the last 4 weeks I had 3, then 4, then 3, and this...

That is wonderful news- I'm so glad your daughter is doing well! There are 4 of us in line to give birth- Imani first, then Wendy, then me, and then you! Each about 2 weeks apart- neat :) Lisa

I can't help, but I know where you're coming from! Our daughter is 21 months old and LOVES her bottle. It's her only vice, but it's a biggie! We have bought so many cute sippy cups in an attempt to wean her, and she does use cups for water with dinner, but between meals, she wants milk, and...

Thank you! Yes, it was a traditional grainy black and white one. Even the special targeted sono we had in January at a special fetal genetic testing lab at a hospital was a traditional grainy black and white one! So maybe they don't have or use those 3Ds in my area. I don't know anyone who...

Hi! I'm happy to report that thanks to a very determined and patient sonographer, we were able to see both our son's feet yesterday, and they looked fine! The one was really easy to see, but for the other we had to wait and do other measurements, etc and then go back to it. It looks like a...

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, hopefully we'll be able to see them today! I'm leaving in about an hour- of course tomorrow I'll let you know what we found out.

Has anyone ever had a sonogram in the third trimester? I'm having one tomorrow with the purpose of Drs getting another look at the baby's foot. I've told you a while back how I tested + for trisomy 18, but my amnio showed normal boy (Thank God) but that day, the Dr saw a foot deformity. Which...

I agree completely. In fact, I'm not sure I EVER mustered the energy to work out during the first trimester! But the energy does return and you will feel good and energetic again around 12 weeks or so. Give yourself a break when you feel you need it! Your body is working very hard, your...

I'm right behind you with the water retention. Just this weekend I told a friend- "Yup, it looks like I've said goodbye to the bones in my hands..." because they are now invisible under a new puffier hand. Also, my wrist bones have disappeared. I remember with my last one, at the end I looked...

That is pretty funny! And it's SO true. I think I have gone up three sizes overall too. Everything is bigger- from wrists to arms to thighs and butt...everything! But I knew it was happening because I have a pair of Express 3/4 stretchy dress pants that are normally comfy/big, and I was able...

Well this won't help, but I can commisserate. I have exactly the same problem. ALL day, every day, I am pulling up my pants. People are constantly telling me I need suspenders. It is rediculous! I have low rise, middle-of-the-belly, and over the belly styles, and those (over belly) are the...

Hi all! I'm so pleased with the number of votes this poll is getting! You guys are the best. Right now it's 7 votes Evan, 6 votes Cole. And yup we do know about Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder...DH has jokingly referred to this baby as Cole Trickle Krieger. :) I think I agree that...

Now the votes are tied again- too funny! And Sandra- I love your practical advice! The shaving the cat thing made me laugh! And Peachy- on your recommendation I did check out the name website and found that she rated both names very highly! Much higher than mine and DHs! So that is good. I...

Oh good! One name is beginning to pull ahead now. I got concerned when the poll was tied! This is very helpful- keep the votes coming. And hearing honest comments is exactly what I want. I was concerned about the masculinity level of Evan too ;) Lisa

June 9th, and it's a boy! (Our girl, Alyssa, is 20 months old :)

Hi! DH and I have whittled our son's name list down to two (we think!). I'd love to hear some honest opinions- please tell me which you like better and why. Thanks soo much! Evan Matthew Krieger Cole Matthew Krieger Lisa
