Tropi, my older daughter had a tongue tie. I didn't nurse her but she did have problems with bottle feeding. It would take her over an hour to eat a 4-oz bottle. She really struggled. We had her...

Aww poor Carolina! I'm on the other end of the spectrum though. Through all of Kamila's hospital stays, I had to resort to pumping and bottle feeding a lot more than I wanted to. Now that I'm back...

Saltines and pineapple juice? Interesting. Unfortunately, all I crave lately is cheesecake!!! I've read that it's common to crave sweets while breastfeeding though. I think I'm going to aim for 2000...

Tropi, have the rainforest swing with the tray and I don't remember it being a problem with Graysia, but it really bothered me with Kamila because if she is swaddled/in a sleep sack, I can't get her...

Hi everyone! My baby girl Kamila is 9 weeks now and breastfeeding is going well (except that it takes her an hour each time!!) I was losing weight really well in the beginning but now that has slowed...

Hi everyone! Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. I gave Kamila an antibody that is destroying her red blood cells and caused her to develop hemolytic disease of the newborn. It works...

So sorry Lachula! Prayers to you!

I delivered my precious Kamila Louise on Nov 9. She was 8 lbs 6 oz and has tons of dark hair. She is perfect but she is having some health issues right now....

Wow, normal beds!! That would be awesome!

Well, ladies....tomorrow is the day for me! My c-section is scheduled for 7:30 am. Yikes!! Why am I so nervous about this??? I've been through this before...

Yeah!!! 8 more days for us!! Although I'm still holding out hope that I will go a few days early. We have been ready since 31 weeks when we thought baby was coming. I am in this weird half-nesting...

I agree with the weirdness factor!! Now that my poor Kamila has virtually no room in there, when she kicks (which is still ALL the time), it feels uncomfortable and sorta creepy. It's like she's...

Awesome Aramire!! Hope that's the ticket for you!!! :yay2:

The whole week I have been having cramps/contractions starting in my back going around to the front. You would think I was starting to dilate? Nope. Not.At.All. :waiting:

I would be happy to have...

Congrats Lachula!!

LosG, I thought for sure I failed my glucose test this time because I felt AWFUL!!! Of course, I had my daughter along at the hospital and she's asking me a hundred different questions while I felt...

I agree with what Tropical said - many people have done it both ways. I will say though that while my husband was in Mexico and I was working on the waiver, I had a 18-month-old, was in school...

Guedez, this time around was very difficult for me to accept my body. I started showing earlier but not "oh you're pregnant showing" but more like "wow, you're really packing it on showing"....

I would also add that I showed very differently this pregnancy than last. Last pregnancy, I was still wearing my regular jeans until 24ish weeks - this time probably only until week 10 or so. I also...

I do. I have had to use clomid to get pregnant and metformin for hormone regulation. I also will probably have to take birth control the rest of my life because otherwise, I would not get a period!...

Thanks Aramire. I am very anxious about the idea of breastfeeding since NOBODY in my family has done it. Now that I am 5 years older and have friends that have done it, I am determined to give it a...

Congrats Tropi! I really wanted a boy first but now we are expecting our 2nd girl and I think that's perfect too. We always agreed on having 3 but now hubby wants to be done at 2. We'll see about...

Congrats Tropical!! Hopefully you'll be able to tell better next time.

LosG, I am in the same boat. All my shirts from last pregnancy are too short because I have much more belly this time. I am only about 15 lbs heavier than I was last time but my belly is just huge...

Also, just got back my urine culture results. I do not have an infection so the baby really did drop. Yikes!!

Congrats Pitch!

Okay, terrible day here. I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy and it appears that it is starting for me this time as well. I am only 31 weeks but...

Pregnancy hormones + putting my precious daughter on the bus for her 1st day of school = 1 tearful, blubbering mess of a mommy! I am going to drive over to her school after she gets on to make sure...
