Wow...have I missed a lot! I just spent the better part of an hour trying to catch up on our forum....I feel like I've been skipping class or something! So much going on with everyone, you're ALL in my prayers everynight & here's hoping for a smooth final trimester!

Had my glucose test last week ...

Hey mommas! Happy Mother's Day to you all!

My Ob has had me on a two week schedule since the beginning - I guess he's just been overly cautious with me & that's how often he sees his patients that went through ivf.

DH and I went to our first baby class last Thursday night! It's called 'getting ...

MBG-
Sounds like your snoogle is doing the trick! I just bought a regular body pillow & it's really been a god send! Every now and then, when I wake up at 2 am to go to the bathroom, I'll come back to bed only to find that DH has kidnapped my body pillow! I have to wrestle it away from him...which ...

I was told to count the retrieval day as the day of conception...so I believe that's where/when you start counting your weeks.
Good luck to you!!

Just wanted to share a really good resource with you all:
safemama.com
Check it out if you get a chance. It helped me with choosing the right brand of bottles to register for, specifically ones that were BPA free. I also read the other day on their site that Toys/Babies R Us are phasing out all baby ...

Hi ladies!
Wow! It's been a while since I've checked in! We were on break from teaching last week & had beautiful weather - especially for the Northeast - into the low 80's! Needless to say we spent a ton of time outside (with tons of sunscreen on) & gathered up enough energy to finish out the ...

Here is an article from the baby bargains website in regards to the consumer reports flawed tests...

"Breaking news---Consumer Reports releases revised infant car seat crash tests"
Car seat crash tests. Take two.

Seven months after an embarrassing gaffe that exposed flawed testing ...

Sorry Seltzer! Didn't mean to freak you out....just sharing what I'd read in the book - thought it was up to date as the copywrite is '07.

Congrats Tina! Kind of a surreal moment when you find out, isn't it?
5 boys to two girls so far in our thread - WOW!

Great resource for registering, my SIL gave the the Baby Bargains book 7th edition. It looks overwhelming at nearly 600 pages, but it is a HUGE help when you're researching the best bang for your buck! I've been looking at the big ticket items & I've just been taking it one item at a time.

I was ...

Just posted some shots from my dear friend's baby shower. My mom took the pics, thus the not so focused shots - she admits to being a not so great photo taker. Oh well! That's my girl friend that's due in June, she's having a boy! We've been close since pre-K!

Seltzer-
So sorry to hear about your beloved Sandy :cry:
Sounds like she'll have a beautiful resting place.

I have a funny story to cheer you up...like I say to my mother, you can't make this sh*t up! The Monster in law is visiting this weekend....arghhh. She's a piece of work, her newest thing ...

We're having a girl!!! Just found out last night at our 'big' scan! It's so strange now knowing what I have inside me. DH said to me this morning, "good morning girls" and I started the 'happy cry'. So many people, including DH, thought the baby was a boy...not so! A dear friend of mine is having a ...

'Deliver Me' is way more realistic than the TLC shows. The really unhappy endings weren't shown, & for the most part their stories were just discussed & those particular patients weren't shown. The three Drs are very sweet, they all have young children & it's nice to see how involved they are in ...

Rebecca -

Congrats on the healthy baby boy! How exciting!!!!!

Okay MBG, I finally loaded pics to photobucket! What's so funny is that I really thought I was showing big time @ 12 weeks, at least I felt like I was. I really started showing this past week, as you can see in the 16 week shot!

I ...
