My goodness...hehe...I also laughed at those middle of the night searches for the baby. I feel DH roll over to be closer to me and I freak out...push him as far away as I can and feel the bed for the baby...only to realize that she's in her crib...her daddy is a deep sleeper so he usually doesnt ...

Bella...yes the first days are hard - and nerve-wracking because it's the first time you are alone with your baby when dh goes back to work. All I can say is that it does get better. I remember feeling so much better when I sucessfully took McKenna to her 1 week doctor appointment by myself. After ...

Hi all :)

How strange it is that it seems all of our little ones suffer from colic. I've heard that it gets it's worst at 6 weeks and slowly gets better from there.

Sue, I also suffered from a bout of depression. I was very teary-eyed for about 3 weeks after McKenna was born. The only way I could ...

Hi all :)

Congratulations to all of you here now as PARENTS!...wow. I think that is the neatest thing ever that we can all say we made it through and we're all blessed with beautiful children.

So I think I'm in the same boat as many of you - colic. McKenna cries most of the time when she's awake ...

Hi all! Just a quick note between feeding for baby and nap for mommy - we had our baby girl on October 17th! Her name is McKenna Ann and she is perfect. She was 7 pounds 7 ounces and was delivered via c-section after a long (and natural) labour. We're getting the hang of each other slow but sure. I ...

Hi all :)

Just a quick update...still nothing :) I'm not sure if I updated you all on what has been happening - we've been getting so many phone calls that I can't keep up to who knows what! All in all...if nothing happens by Wednesday (18th) then we go in to be induced. Crossing my fingers that ...

Chelle!

Congratulations on your little ones!!! You must be just thrilled. Enjoy your little miracles!

Julie

Congratulations on your little one! How exciting!!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy - isn't that what we've all been waiting years and years for - holding our little miracles in our arms

Hi everyone.

So I had my dr appt yesterday. Up until now - my cervix has been shut tight - baby hadn't move down and no progress was made. Well, yesterday he checked me and I'm 2 - 3 cm dilated and the cervix is nice and soft. He seemed to think it could happen at any time - he wouldn't be ...

Hi all :)

Wow things are starting to shake on this board! Krista started us all of....!!! It's so hard to believe that soon we'll all be making painful trips to the hospital to have our little ones....:)

As for me, last week was my last week of work - now I'm home on my mat leave....it feels so ...

Wowwowow...!!!! Congratulations. Your twins are a very nice size - you grow them well! I'm so happy for you - the first of the 3rd trimesters - I'm so excited to see the pics. As someone said - makes it seem real for all of us - not just a dream. Enjoy your babes - they sound just perfect

Julie,

Oh my...I feel so bad for you having to worry this late in your pregnancy. BUT the good part is that your body is preparing to deliver - slow but sure. My prayers are with you - very much in my thoughts. Did you ask your dr about the possibility of pre-eclampsia? I would think all of your ...

Thank you all for your well-wishes!

Truth be told - being the first one of our Oct group is scarey!!! I wish I had someone ahead of me saying - you can do it! I have alot of family who tells me this - and my best friend is a doula - I trust her completely when she tells me. But you girls are the ...

Angeleyes,

Long time no see! I wasn't sure what happened with you. So nice to see that you're so close! For a while there I was next due on the 'helicopter' ride - now it's you. How has your pregnancy been going? Obviously very well seeing as you've made it this far. Can't wait to hear about your ...

Hi everyone - Hope you all are feeling great :).

I just wanted to share a bit of my birth plan with everyone. I do plan on going natural...all personal reasons - and I agree with everyone's sentiments on this - it's not a judgement on those who plan on epidurals - this is a personal choice that ...
