Hi Cathe and everyone! Well, Cathe, it looks like I beat you! Carol Elizabeth was induced on 3/22 and arrived at 12:36pm, weighing in at 4 lbs, 14 oz and 18 1/4 inches in length. Her APGAR scores were 9's :) She went directly to the "Newborn" nursery, but then presented with some shallow...

Well, for the past week I have been on bed rest, as per my OB's request, in an attempt to keep my blood pressure down. When I'm lying down it's near (what is considered) normal range, but when I'm up and moving around it gets pretty high. I called my doc early last week and went to see her...

Cathe, Just wondering how your checkup went - was it this past Friday? I hope all is continuing to go well with you. My next checkup is this Friday, although I think I may call and make it earlier - last week I saw my primary care physician (for a cold) and my pressure was up in his office. I...

Hi Cathe! I just returned from my checkup - everything seems to be going well - this past month I've gained the most of any month so far - 7 pounds! So it's a total of 28 so far. I'm not going to diet or anything, but I hope I don't gain too much more - I feel like a stuffed sausage as it is...

This is a question for women who have already given birth one or more times. I'm wondering if any (or all) of you had a birth plan in place before you went to the hospital (or where ever you gave birth) and how many of you were able to actually carry out every aspect of your plan? I'm a...

Lately it's been cheddar cheese and triscuits. Also, my car seems to know the way to the local ice cream parlor and it takes me there almost every day for a small, soft chocolate cone with rainbow sprinkles... Oh, and just about everything else. I'm thinking of changing my name to...

Hi All! I know my posts are few and far between - I should be more consistant about posting - I hope everyone is doing well with their pregnancies - mine is going great so far and I attribute most of that to keeping fit and eating right. My doc says I'm right on schedule with everything...

Hi everyone! It's been quite awhile since I've last posted - life has been really hectic lately. My pregnancy is going well, thank goodness. I had my ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and we're having a girl! We'll be naming her Carol Elizabeth, after my best friend that passed away in August...

My ob corrected my due date to April 24th! Same as you! I wonder which one of us will deliver first. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I plan on finding out. My ultrasound is scheduled for the middle of November. Do you have any names picked out yet? A girl for me would be...

I'm only in my 10th week, but already I have begun buying things for the baby. A couple of outfits here and there - I found this website with the CUTEST designs for baby clothing on it - www.growgrowgrow.com - and purchased a few outfits from that company. I've also begun sampling different...

Any of you that already have little ones and are at a loss of how to explain what has happened to them, read this: As always, someone clever used Dr. Seuss to set US straight. If Dr. Seuss could say something about all this... Every U down in Uville liked U.S. a lot, But the Binch, who...

Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. It's nice to know I have friends here. What I have been doing so far is writing down every single good memory I have of Carol. Although it's painful at this point, it's absolutely necessary, because I feel I must get everything down while...

I was wondering if anyone else experiences slight menstural-type cramps often, as I do. I really have not read much about this being a symptom of early pregnancy. Does anyone else "feel" as though they're going to get their period? It's pretty much been this way since I've concieved, which...

Hi all! This is my first time posting here on Cathe's website. I'm usually over at the Firm forum. I have just found out that I'm pregnant and my due date is April 19 - anyone out here due in april? Anyone pregnant for the first time and as nervous as I am?
