Hi all. Congrats on all of your beautiful arrivals. Love the names!

We are thrilled to share the news that Alexis Rose arrived on November 3 at 1:11 p.m. at 6 lbs, 13 oz and 20 inches long! A huge relief after the doctor told us to expect her to be in the NICU!

We had a C-section scheduled for ...

HUGE congrats Charr! So exciting.

Welcome to baby Noah. Sounds like his arrival was quite eventful, but so glad it is behind you. I am sure it is wonderful to be home and to have that baby in your arms after your very long journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing the great news and enjoy every ...

Hi all. Thinking about everyone!

Looks like we are delivering Nov. 7 (not bad since my due date is Nov. 18). The baby is breech and the doctor thinks there could be complications with trying to turn her, so it looks like we will have a scheduled C-section.

We go in Friday, so may know more by ...

Hi all!

First just want to share apotofTea's sentiments about how helpful it has been to have this board. Sending hugs across the miles to all of you and wishing for easy deliveries and healthy babies!

I wish I were like the rest of you on the stretch mark issue. I have had stretch marks since ...

Hi all. We can just ignore the weird message above.

Glad everyone is doing so well. Very jealous that ASpot of Tea, Wondercat and Charr have the nurseries ready to go! Our furniture was just delivered yesterday, and of course half of it is wrong - but being fixed (even if it doesn't get fixed, at ...

Hi everyone. We had an ultrasound today and all looks great! The doctor thinks the baby is around 4 lbs, 8 ounces and is looking great! It is about time. They did blood work last week and I am a bit amenic, so they added iron supplements to my plethora of pills (this makes one shot and 13 pills a ...

Hi ladies!

Nancy - Congrats on a great visit!

Wondercat - You have the BEST stories! I agree on the book deal!

Spot of tea - Hope your outing to the doctor was easy, uneventful and let you breath some fresh air. Please let us know how it went.

Charr - Good luck with the weekly stress tests and ...

Wondercat - I was laughing out loud reading your post :) Just keep having a good sense of humor about it! I just vetoed eating on the couch until the end of the pregnancy, because I just can't take it anymore! I have full faith that you will be able to stay in bed without rolling out throughout the ...

Hi all,

Sorry to have been MIA. I am sorry for the difficulties so many of you have been going through.

Wondercat - thanks for keeping us all smiling.

Our restricted activity seems to be working! At our last ultrasound, the baby shot up from the 3 percentile to the 51st! The doctor said she is ...

Thanks all.

Wondercat - Totally agree on husbands. Gotta love them! Let us know how things progress with the nutritionist.

We have a breatfeeding class too - can't believe I forgot that one! I have heard nightmares about these breastfeeding classes too - the one we are signed up for is led by a ...

Hi all :)

Hubbie and I back from our much needed vacation. We sat on the beach, read books and did nothing - a perfect way to start off my "restricted activity". It has not been easy transitioning out of work, but I really have no choice. My biggest problem now is that my adoring husband is a bit ...

Hi everyone!

Wondercat - Glad the ultrasound went well. Hang in there with the family. I am sorry for all you are going through.

We had a wrinkle at our ultrasound yesterday. I am fine and the baby is fine, but she is measuring small (can't say the same for myself). Her heart and brain look good ...

Wondercat. I am sorry about your family's loss. If the doctor does not seem worried, that is a great sign. I know waiting for the ultrasound can seem like an eternity, but hang in there and enjoy the nice weather

Hi all. So sorry I have been MIA.

Aspotoftea - so glad you are home and all seems to be going as well as it can. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy the quiet before the baby gets here - I never really get it, but I figure they know more than I do. So maybe a bright side is that you get lots of rest ...

Hi all.

We had another ultrasound Friday and she looks great! I was very relieved because I have been sick all week - fighting a bad cough, post-nasal drip, etc. I went to my regular doctor who gave me some things to do (like a nasal rinse) and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic in case I ...
