I had the same thing - as well as numbness in my fingers occasionally when I got up (preggo carpal tunnel). It is probably just from excess fluid pressing on your nerves. Mine went away as soon as I delivered - but if you are worried ask your doc. Oh yeah - make sure your shoes are in...

Hey there - I hope Tamal's sleep issues improve - I really hope you and he find some relief soon. I don't have any advice, but will be thinking of you. Sienna sounds like she's doing great :) It's so much fun to watch them roll all over the place, isn't it? Nico has been eating solids...

Born Free are also good and can be found at Whole Foods. arancini

Hello there, I keep my son Nico in the same room - he loves watching me workout. I've been doing this since he was about Zelda's age (he is now 5 months). At first I put him in a bouncer - now he likes to freestyle play on the floor with some toys and the cats. I wouldn't worry about...

Hello there, Nico is catching a couple of z's in between walks (his teething makes napping for more than 5 minutes pretty rare though). Poor Tamal - Nico is bothered by teething, but not to that extreme ... I have no advice, just sympathy :) And yes, I stare at Nico all the time...

Hello hello! I'm so glad to hear that Sienna likes her front pack :) Nico loves his so much that all I have to do is wave it in front of him and he laughs. When he outgrows it there will be be trouble ... He is teething and not sleeping like his usual self. He's been getting up a couple...

Hi Becky, I'll bet your little one is already out and doing well :) When you get around to it, let us know how things are going. Best wishes, arancini PS - extra long contractions suck, don't they? ;)

Hi Shannon, Nicholas, eh? I'm not sure why, but I think I like that name for some reason :) We named Nico after our friend Nick, but went with the Italian version since DH is half Sicilian. And you're down to the last 5 lbs??? Congratulations!! I think I need to be on your rotation - what...

Hey Shannon, I have "Kittymom" on my shoes (we have 13 indoors, 5 outdoors ... VERY long story!). And how could this be an intrusion - especially if you are 4.5 months postpartum :) I am 4 months postpartum today. Well, my brain is a little foggy about my rotation ... I have been playing...

We must have been writing simultaneously :) Congrats on the funky belt - I agree, every little thing is inspiring, isn't it? I can now go sleeveless again without feeling like a cow and can almost wear a few of my favorite knit dresses (with the empire waists ;) Gotta go ... Mr. Nico wants...

Hello Mommies & Babies, I have probably 2 minutes before Nico notices I'm missing :) He just had his 4 month check-up and shots. He cried b/c another baby was crying at the ped's and then stopped as soon as we shut the door. A very sympathetic boy ... He is now 26 1/4", 15 lbs, and his...

Hmmmm ... that's certainly worth a thought (in light of everything - not just my knuckles :) My feet have already de-puffed though - and it seems to be more that my actual joints are bigger ... I may get the rings on but never get them off again ... Well, perhaps time will tell. Or maybe...

Hello all you mommies out there, I was wondering how long it might take for my fingers to go back to their old size ... or if they are going to at all? I haven't been able to wear my rings again and keep thinking they may need to be resized in future. I am almost 4 months post-partum and...

Hi guys, Whew - just got back from a late walk with Nico. I've been interviewing potential babysitters the past couple of days (off of sittercity.com - so far I like it), so since DH will be away for a few days this week I will get some help. I went to the podiatrist today to get my foot...

RE: Post Partum check-in 3.2.08 Yes, LJ is adorable :) I forgot to mention that in my other post! arancini
