Hi Autumn and Diana. It was great to hear from both of you. Autumn - I can't believe your dr. stripped your membranes already. I went into labor THE day my doctor did that. Good luck! How'd you talk him/her into it? I am dying for my new OB to strip mine as soon as possible (not before...

Hey guys - no word from Christie - I wonder if she'll have a more exciting post for us later!! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Gosh, I can't wait until it's my turn to have my due date right around the corner! Well, I finally had a good week. I am feeling much better in the mornings...

Melanie: My SIL had a very colicky baby who had a severe reflux problem. They used a chocolate flavored form of Zantac (not sure if that was the name of it, or if it was something different) prescribed by the doctor. It seemed to help quite a bit. Just a suggestion - let me know if you...

Hey Autumn - Thanks for your message. My heart goes out to you. I have been so blessed and have not yet lost someone very close to me. I can't begin to imagine all that you must have went through. Thank you for your kind e-mail. I have been feeling so much better the past couple of weeks...

Autumn, Do you work? Is this your first? You just seem to have so much energy and to be so excited. I feel old and tired this pregnancy, but I'm sure that it's been mostly because I am depressed and this baby was unexpected - I don't have all that excitement to keep me going. You're workouts...

Hi Christy - I'm trying to remember your due date. I think it's 6/29...? I feel your pain. I remember with my first, when I was checked at 36 weeks, my cervix was ripe and starting to dilate and he told me that he doesn't like to tell too many people this because they get excited, but that...

Hi Shammy. I think if you had a good experience with your first two, it is mostly good parenting - just knowing what they need, when they need it, etc. Sure, you can have a collicky baby and hopefully all of us here are lucky enough that we won't have to experience that! I am hoping this one...

Okay...I don't want to hear any complaints from anyone is is past the 37 week mark because it could be any day, or if not, you're so close, that you can taste it! Just kidding - I know that's when it's the absolute WORST! Especially if this is baby #1. Shammy - You'll have to post and let...

40 weeks is way too long. I am so praying that this little one will come just 3 weeks early since that is still considered full-term. Since I didn't go early with my other 2, I'm sure I'm destined to go 40 weeks with this one as well. It would just be so nice to go a little early since he...

Christy - good luck to you! You must be so excited to be so close. I am so hoping for an early (37 week) delivery this time around since this was unplanned it would be such a nice break. But, I'm sure that won't happen as I wasn't early with either of my first two. And the most frustrating...

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. Jacque - I am so excited to hear that you are having a little girl. You are going to have so much fun! I had ballet recitals for my daughter last weekend, and I got some really great pictures. Her and I have such a connection. My son and husband share that...

I have had 2 children and am currently pregnant with my 3rd. I wasn't as fit when I was pregnant with my son as I didn't workout like I do now. I mainly walked a bit with my husband. Once I got pregnant with my first, I started doing pregnancy workouts and continued walking. I gained 33 lbs...

Hi Kristy. I have 2 children, a boy and a girl, both potty trained now. It's not an easy process at all. What I find that worked best for me was to buy a potty, and a potty video and book, show him the video and read the books each day. When you're home, let him stay naked and hopefully...

Thanks guys. I know you're right. I think I'll just be so much better when I'm not pregnant dealing with all the hormones. I really draw within myself when I'm pg and I hate it. I can't wait to feel like my old self again.

BOY! Sorry to keep you all waiting so long. When we got home from all the other errands we had to do that day, I was so beat. I think I'd gone way too long without water. And to top it all off, I had a meeting that night with my business partner to strategize about work stuff. We need to...

Christy - your post was cute. I will post separately about the ultrasound. Imax was fun. It sounds weird, but workouts like that seem easier to me than workouts that continually keep on moving. I am really liking those breaks right now. I don't know why the 2nd half of the tape felt so much...

Hey Christy - glad to hear that you are doing better. Sara - hope that you have some exciting news to share! My week was lousy again, but I don't feel too bad because here I am 20 weeks (tomorrow) and I am FINALLY feeling better! The past couple of mornings, I have gotten ready right away...

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good week. My workout week wasn't so good, but I was still recuperating from my cold. And my son was on spring break last week, so I was busy taking the kids to the museum, etc. My sister was on vacation and came over 3 of the 5 days. It was nice to visit...

I remember feeling the first movements with my first two pregnancies right around the 14 week mark. I've read that the thinner you are, the earlier you can feel it. This time around, I am 18 weeks currently and still feel as if I've hardly ever felt the baby move. I know I've felt him/her a...

Hi guys. I'm posting but I had NO workouts last week! I came down with an AWFUL cold. Then dh and I were fighting. It was the biggest fight we have ever been in--it was awful because we hardly ever fight period. We ended up not talking to each other much at all from Friday night til Wed...
