My prayers go to all of you! Wow, I had no idea so many of you are so close to your due date!!! How exciting! I know when you get so close, you are so excited to meet this new little person and it seems like every day is a week. Hang in there, the child WILL come out.....I promise...

Thanks Erica. That helps. It does make sense to me. I have not been a good one for letting them cry it out for the very reason you said above. I don't think they get that mom is still there and is just letting them cry. I will give it a try tonight if we have the same kind of night we have...

Thanks Linda. You are right, it probably is just a phase, but it just seems to be getting worse, not better, and I feel like I am contribututing to it getting worse because I just nurse her back to sleep every time. I could handle 2-3 wakings in a night, but lately it has been 6 even 7, and...

Thanks Erica. I will check out the website. I went to my online local library and found it there, so I put it on reserve. Can you give me any more details about the pick-up/put down method?? What exactly is that, I have never heard of that before? Thanks!

Hi Heather and welcome! And congrat's on the pregnancy! Is this a high-risk pregnancy? It seems like your doctor is making a lot of strong reccomendations about your exercise routine so early in your pregnancy and I am wondering if she is concerned about miscarriaging? Usually you can...

Hi Manmohini. I put one aside for you, but can you send me an email to [email protected] with your mailing address so I can drop it in the mail to you?? Thanks!

Just wanted to let you all know that I have 6 DVD's left. If you would like one, just let me know and I'll put one aside for you. If you have ever thought about 'going green' too, there is some great info about that as well.

I'm hoping someone will have some tips/advice for me. My almost 6 month daughter has been getting into a horrible routine and I just can't break it. For the past 1 1/2 weeks now, she has been getting up every 1 1/2-2 hours. ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I am completely exhausted. I don't know how many...

Good Morning Kristine! And everyone esle when you check in :) Great job on the workouts Kristine! 3 is more than I did last week and doing those while you had a cold is a great achievement! That pic I used for my avatar was such a headache. That was our first 'real' attempt to try and...

Oh Luli! I am so happy to hear that. I am one that bleeds in my pregnancies. With my first I had 2 spouts of bleeding and with my second I had it around week 11. Both pregnancies were just fine. I am so happy that all was fine. I did the same as you though. When I started bleeding, I cut...

Oh, I'm here too! I have been reading the posts and just been really lazy about actually writing a post on here! I do appreciate this post as well. I know I have a lot to regain in strength and lose in weight since baby, so I really do use you guys as encouragement to keep me focused and...

I wanted to offer you guys something because I thought it may be of interest to you all. I do presentations to mom’s groups/daycare’s in my area about the dangers of household cleaners to our health and our children’s health and safe alternatives. There was a special where I could buy a case...

Oh no Chrissy! Mastitis is HORRIBLE! I had it twice with my first daughter and I have not gotten it with number two (knock on wood). Take as much down time as you can and sleep as much as you can. And as painful as it is, have your little girl nurse on that side a lot to help clear it out...

Hmmm...you know, we have a postpartum checkin and we have a trying to concieve checkin, but I don't think there is an 'I'm expecting' checkin. Maybe you can start one and see if anyone joins you :) I know there are many women on here that are expecting, so chances are some will join you!

Good morning everyone! ~Kristine - I understand the sadness when nursing ends. I loved that special time too. But, if you are like me, when I stopped nursing my first daughter, I finally lost those last few pounds I was holding on to. I read somewhere that until we wean, our body is still...

Hi Susan! I wanted to say welcome and congrats on the pregnancy!

I have learned now with my two pregnancies that it totally depends on your delivery. My first delivery was very hard and I had a lot of healing to do. I could not even go for a walk until 6 weeks postpartum (not the normal by the way). I was not actually back to my workouts for 12 weeks...

I am so sorry Kris. I can't even imagine. It is obvious that you and your BF loved that kitty. Please don't blame yourself. Losing a pet is like losing a loved one. It is always so hard. Sending you (((((hugs)))))

Yes, I agree with you, it sounds like you are doing everything right. You may notice as you get farther along in your pregnancy that you get some energy back, or you may not. It sounds like you are feeding your body great, so I don't think it is nutrition either. I say just listen to your...

Hi Chrissy. Yes, she will eventually fall into a better sleep pattern. I think I read that it takes 6 weeks before their body can tell the difference between night and day. So right now, to her body, it is all the same (unfortunately for you :) Give her some more time, she will start...
