Hi mommas,
Liam is growing by leaps and bounds, and its so cool to watch all of their changes. We do our library story times once per week, and have a playdate with other parents every once in a while. We're travelling for the first time to visit family this weekend, and am hoping all goes well ...

Greetings parents!

I have been remiss in getting back to this board, and recently my husband reminded me of it! Its great to hear of everyone's news, as I try to get caught up on all that has transpired.

Liam is now 6 mos old. We missed our early part of 6 mo checkup, and don't have it til the end ...

Hi ladies:
Liam Shaun was born Weds 2/4 at 8:25am. He weighed 7.9lbs, and was 20 inches! The dr. bet on the 8's so even after 20+ yrs of delivery they can be off :) He was perfect and I felt the moment they lifted him out as my back pain/pressure was relieved. I looked at his little body with his ...

children - CONGRATS to you! You have a beautiful addition to your already beautiful family! Way to go Maxime! So happy all turned out fine and you are all doing well!

angram - thank you. We'll see if my constitution is changed immediately along with my bod :) Take it easy where you can. Sometimes I found a heating pad helped for a short period, other times you're right nothing did. Looking forward to hearing your news as well!

All of you ladies have been great ...

All of you ladies have been great ...

Dakota - glad you're back in the game. I wish I had the same constitution as you...I've been constipated the whole pregnancy. We'll see if Wednesday's delivery makes me any different

Neffi - so happy all is going great. What a wonderful change in life to celebrate his coming home. I'm sure you and your family are dying to get him into more comfortable surroundings and just gush over him 24/7!

hopeful - How cool is that! I wish I could get another ultrasound!! LUCKY!

For the delivery discussion, textbook says natural delivery should give you the shortest recovery time. I've seen this be the case many times. However, both my best friend and my sister in law had episiotomies for natural childbirth. My sister in law took almost 6 months to heal, and my friend said ...

hopeful - can't wait to hear your news...I'm right there the day before you! I hope I make it, and have a feeling I will since yesterday's last dr. checkup revealed no dilation, and I'm still clamped shut. All paperwork is signed and we're ready when he is.

children - hang in there, you are so close now! I know you want to meet your little one, and I agree. I'm now just in the phase where I'm ready when he's ready :) So glad I had the experience to keep up a little exercise until the end here. The swelling might have been inevitable anyways, but now ...

crogers - please keep us posted and we are so excited for you to deliver your little one!!

Oh Neffi! Many congratulations on Jackson coming into your lives! Our friend just had a ruptured sac, and delivered her little daughter 5.5 wks early Sat morning! Same with her, she just doesn't know how to suck yet, so her parents go home this morning, and she will stay for probably a week until ...

children - that's awesome your baby moved; now let's hope they can stay that way! My boy was transverse last night, and boy I sure know when he moves that way-ouch! I'm also glad you can keep swimming. It feels so good to feel weightless even if only for a small amount of time :) When I get out of ...
