RE: Sienna Joy aka Congrats Manmohini and welcome Tamal!!! :-) I'm so glad you're both safe and healthy, I had you in my thoughts and prayers. Tamal sounds robust and healthy (8lbs is great!) and you take the gold medal for laboring. WOW!!! Sounds exhausting. They induced me on a Friday...

Hi Dani, I'm glad to hear that things are okay, falls can be sooo scary!! I had one big one at the beginning of my 3rd trimester but was able to brace myself with hands and knees. I can't imagine a fall down stairs, yikes! I hope the rest of the pregnancy is smooth sailing and full of good...

Funny, I said she'd rather be fashionably late than make a big dramatic entrance...well, her entrance was chock full of drama but we're so thrilled that she's here and healthy!!! :-) Despite multiple attempts at induction and natural birth, Sienna was delivered by emergency c-section on...

Hi Marsha, Thanks! We may be called back in tonight, we'll see. I got home and wasn't feeling well so I slept and had intense BH contractions that woke me up. I'm not sure if they were BH or the real deal, since they've never caused any discomfort before. I just called my midwife and she's in...

Hi, and thanks for the empathy! Happy Birthday to your Hubby Manmohini. That would be cool if your baby and husband had the same birthday...or even close. They called us to have us come in for an NST to assess my situation and see if they need to do anything faster for medical concerns...

Hi Ladies and mommies-to-be, Just an update... We were scheduled for our induction today but we called this morning and they told us not to come in because they're full -- possibly related to the upcoming full moon. :-( I finally accepted the idea of an induction and was so looking...

Manmohini, I hear ya, I've found it near impossible to concentrate on work. Thankfully they're letting me work from home now. Since I'm overdue, they get how much of a torment that can be. They really aren't expecting much from me at this point, but part of me wants to get knee deep into...

Thanks Robin...it does seem strange that my little one isn't here yet. I feel like I've been ready with bags packed, baby clothes washed, everything set-up and ready to go for the last 3-4 weeks. And we had to rush to get it all together after our move, so the "extra" time is a bit unnerving...

Well, I'm heading in for an NST and ultrasound today, we'll see. Thanks for the astrological info. You know Arancini mentioned that Nico was an an artist how right she may be if he's born in the next couple of days. I have an affinity for all the signs that the moon will be moving through...

Hey Manmohini, Glad you've been able to get lots accomplished. Same here, definitely did the workaholic thing but have slowed down in the last week. Feels good to have all my ducks in a row now. Any progress? I'm inching a long and have decided that we'll probably have a baby Sagittarius...

Dani, Congratulations!! We're all pulling for you. Sounds like you're getting excellent care and you're in a good place. I had a miscarriage before this one too, at about 8 weeks. I'm 41 weeks yesterday and counting...when you get to this side you need gobs of patience as you wait to meet...

Awesome news, congratulations!! I'm sending sticky vibes your way. It's one more thing to be Thankful for on this holiday huh, pretty cool timing!!! :-) Enjoy it! Steph

Hey Manmohini, My preggo emotional roller coaster finally hit full force this last month, as I'm sure you could tell from my last message. ") So sorry to be negative about things. I'm feeling more like myself today and have regained perspective, I'm sure you'll progress just fine. You and...

Hi Manmohini, I'm right there with ya. I passed my due date on Saturday, had a scare with no baby movement on Monday and an emergency non-stress test (NST). We're okay now but things have been pretty up and down since then. I was told that my old placenta (I'm 39) could fail in these late...

Hi Marnie and Suzanne, Thanks for the well wishes and post-partum advice. Suzanne, being isolated at home alone has been a big concern for me all along -- I totally agree that it can be challenging, and depressing. I have a friend who works from home who has already agreed to come over and...

Hey Chrissy, Thanks for asking, I'm hanging in there. I'm probably the only pregnant woman this close to her due date who's actually hoping for a few more days. Having the move and setting things up, getting things in order at home and at work has been keeping me occupied and distracted. But...

Welcome back and Congrats on little Taylor's birth. You're a trooper to have started back at work so early, it must have been tough! Your hubby sounds supportive, so that's a plus. And you're feeling better now too, did you have the blues or post-partum depression? If so, glad you were able...

Hey Chrissy, I love her name!! I can't believe Ella's already 2 months, it seems like yesterday you informed us that you were moving to the post-partum list. That happened almost over night...but I guess that's all it takes! I could be next. :-) Maybe one day you'll have some photos up so we...

Manmohini, I'm so glad to hear that you're going to be able to attempt a natural childbirth! I totally understand how much it means to you and how you must be torn between keeping your son healthy and honoring your own beliefs about giving birth. I know a bunch of women who've had...
