I just wanted to chime in here and say that I have been breastfeeding my daughter for 3 months now and I do not wear a bra to sleep. I haven't had many leaking problems and my breast were small to begin with so I'm not really that big. That said I did by a nightgown very similar to the one...

Hi all! I am very impressed with everyone's exercise schedules. I have not been able to start workouts because I've been busy finishing things at work. I only have 5 more weeks left at this job!! My father was in town this week to help with the baby! So I got a lot done. Rylee is...

Wendy, It is absolutely gorgeous!! I will definitely miss the mountains when we move. I'm just glad we got to spend 3 years here plus we are taking back the best souvenir (little Rylee)! Imani

Jen, We live in Colorado now. Both of our families live on the east coast (MD-Baltimore County and NC) so we are looking forward being closer to family. Especially now that we have Rylee! Imani

Hi all! Last week went well. My brother is in town. It is so nice to have an extra set of hands. Rylee is doing well. She still has a crying fit everynight around 7pm. I bought some mylicon drops and will see if this helps her gas issues. Rylee has started to smile back at me! It...

Hi all! Wendy, I hope you enjoyed your night out. We had a night out last weekend when my aunt went to visit. I got a little choked up in the car while driving to the restaurant but then relaxed and was able to enjoy the evening. I had my post-partum check up today and the doctor said I...

I'm 4 weeks post-partum now. I attribute the quick loss to all the exercise I did during the pregnancy. I only gained 20 lbs with the pregnancy! I'm glad to her that you did the cosleeping thing and it only lasted 4 months. Everyone keeps telling us that we should stop now or we will be...

Hi all. Rylee is crying more and more it seems. It's really frustrating when I can't do anything to fix it. I am trying to be really patient. It helps when we other people around who can take turns holding her. Rylee loves being held and loves sleeping with us. I hope I'm not starting...

Wendy, Rylee is doing the same thing today! She is crying for what feels like no reason and won't sleep eventhough she is tired. It's very frustrating. I finally got her to calm down and eat. Now she's being quite. Maybe she'll sleep a lot tonight to make up for today! imani

Emy and Jaypea, Thanks for reponding. I was thinking that maybe I was doing to much and that my bleeding wasn't normal. thanks for sharing. Now I know I'm normal and will stop worrying. It is very frustrating though. And we can't use tampons which frustrates me even more. Imani

I have the opposite feelings. It is so nice not to be pregnant. I love that I don't have a belly. I can't wait to be 100% again and fit into all of my old clothes and workout at my old level. I love having Rylee outside of me. It is so much more fun than when she was inside. Imani

Hi all, Thanks for posting a post patum check-in. Let see. I am 30 years old and my first child, Rylee, was born on May 5th. She was 6lbs and 12 oz and 19 inches long. I had a very long and hard labor and delivery but the memory is fading. Rylee and I have been spending lots of time...

Wendy, Thanks for sharing and congratulations!!! See you in the postpartum check-ins! Imani

Well I had a moment so I thought I would post some details. I started feeling some minor contractions on Tuesday night (3rd) then they felt much more regular and a little stronger wednesday morning (the 4th, my due date). We stayed home for a while and the contractions started coming about 5...

Those labor dances worked like a charm!! I went into labor on the 4th and Rylee was born at 2:29am on the 5th! Labor was hard and I'll give you all the details later. Needless to say that it was all worth it and I am feeling much better now. Rylee is so beautiful. She was 6lbs and 12ozs...

Well, nothing yet! Keep sending the labor vibes!!!! imani

Hi all, Well I am hoping that this is my last check in here! I didn't do any workouts this week, except for getting all the baby stuff ready. I have been trying to conserve my energy for the big day. I went to the doctor's this friday and I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. So I made...

Congrats! I'm having a girl too and loving all the cute pink stuff!!! imani

Will do! My thing is that I want to wait until Sunday to go into labor so that the baby will be a May baby. Something about having an 05/05 birthday is so cool! imani

Me too! I had a blast washing all the baby things. I even took the time to fold everything properly and organize it all. I've got less than a week (hopefully) before I will be using the clothes! Of course they'll be all yucky the next time I wash them but I'm sure I won't mind. :) imani
