hopeful - how exciting, you're almost there! luckily they're usually a pound or so off on ultrasounds, so i'll keep my fingers crossed that she's just around 8 when you deliver :) good luck and keep us posted!

Hey ladies - Didn't sleep well last night so have been poking around the internet. I actually just went back to our old May/June cycle board and was reading posts from when Angram, Jude and I were wrapping up the board with our BFPs. It was so wonderful having all of you to go through this process with...I was tearing up reading about Neffi's first U/S, Jude's outrageous beta numbers, and all of the other stories and news we shared with each other...what an intense time that was for all of us. I'm grateful to have had this forum to share our experiences. Anyway - It's crazy that we were all at that point together and now we are starting to share the news of our babies' arrivals! It's just fantastic. Hugs to all of you...hope you are having a great day!

HI Ladies-

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I can't wait to start seeing the birth posts coming in! I can't wait to hear of everyone's labors! I cannot describe in words the emotions you guys are about the expirence! I cannot imagine my life without Jackson and he has only been here for 8 days. The feeling is so strange. Before, I could not imagine how you could love something that you didn't even know so much, and now I know what people talk about when they are talking about their own children. It's amazing how your life goes from all you to ALL THEM! Oh I just can't wait to hear about everyone's little ones!
Jack is doing well. Fingers are still crossed to go home from the NICU on Tuesday! He is having his circumcision tomorrow, so we are not looking forward to that! But he is eating well and there has not been any alarms or apnea since his first couple days. He is so little and adorable! He looks so much like his dad it's scary! I'm wondering if they even used my eggs! Anyway-- I'll keep you all updated...Good luck to everyone!

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!

Neffi- OMG congrats!!! I am sp happy that your little jackson arrived safe and is doing well. how exciting! I cant wait for you to be able to take him home. I am so happy for you!!

I hope all is well with everyone. I cant wait to start reading the birth stories.

I am doing well. slowly working my way off bedrest. By Monday I will be vaccuming, i cant wait!! I tell you, being bed ridden for 9 weeks then just doing something for an hour or so really wears you out, not to mention the next day feeling like you've been hit by a mac truck. Every leg muscle in my body hurts, like I just ran 6 miles. I am slowly starting to get baby stuff done. We should be 75% done by Sunday!!! I actually put the bassinet, bouncer and swing together today, of course then I had to take a nap because it wore me out.

Who ever decided to say being constipated during pregnancy was normal must have ate 10 lbs of beef a day because I cant stop pooing!!! I swear 3-5 times a day!!

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 :o

Dakota - congrats on getting off of bedrest, what a relief that must be! You're cracking me up on the pooing, I have been back and forth the entire pregnancy.

ftg - Good luck on Wednesday, I'm so excited for you!!! I also hope delivery helps you out with the constipation :)

Neffi - I'm so happy for you and DH, what a wonderful feeling to have your little Jack there and almost ready to go home. I can't wait for our little girl to arrive; we talk to her every single day and wonder what she'll look and be like. I'm so excited!

Adsgirl - Your post brought tears to my eyes, what a wonderful journey this has been with you ladies. Reading everyone's post throughout the entire process has helped so much. Everyone has been so positive and reassuring and now with our actual beautiful babies arriving, it's just such a blessing.

Not much going on with me, just waiting for the big D-day. I've had extreme lower back pain for about a week, anyone else experience this? Guess it happens and there's really nothing I can do about it, but it's pretty difficult to walk. Also trying to wrap things up at work so I can take a peaceful 3 months off :) Other than that, we're just getting excited for our little girl to arrive!!

Can't wait to hear more good news in the coming days, good luck to everyone!

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 and very supportive to know that someone is going into the same journey as you. Especially because so many got here the exact same way! I wish everyone the best on their day of magic, with many more to follow :)

Hi all,

Our son has arrived through a long induction (trying hard for VBAC) but finally a c-sec on Jan. 31, 5:46 pm. His name is Maxime and he weighs 9lb9oz and is 54 cm long. He again, born w full hair, like our DD. He is big indeed. He is doing very well, even sleeps through the night at his third night...we are getting out of hospital tomorrow.

Take care everyone and looking forward to your stories too.
