like/when it came in.  I was very curious and somewhat anxious because I've
had a breast reduction, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to produce milk.
Well, tonight, after a gruelling day of painful contractions ...

It's official, I guess!  My DH and I are going to start "trying" for #3!  I
haven't been on any kind of BC since before DD#1 was born, so in theory, I
could have gotten pregnant at any time (and we would have been fine with
that, otherwise we would have used some form of BC).  But ...

DH and I spent the weekend with in-laws and came away (as planned) with
as much of the family baby gear as we could pack in our car.  I was
absolutely amazed at what DH and his brother managed to fit in our
4-door sedan with folded down seats: a complete crib, a pack-and-play, a

transvaginal  ultrasound.
I went into the radiology department where the staff was friendly,

Ok this may be long, so I warned ya!  I just found out that my cousin is
TTC.  Which I found out she is only doing this because of the attention my
hubby and I got when we were expecting.  She said that they were not
"actively trying" but if she gets pregnant she gets pregnant.  ...

Well, Aeryn is now feeding like a (very cute) pig - she put on 13 ounces in
one week, and now weighs 8lb 1oz, so I'm officially a happy woman!  However,
she doesn't like being put in her carrycot, which makes it rather difficult
to do stuff like putting washing out without getting ...

28w today after 7 w on bedrest! The twins are doing great, so am I. It's
so hard to believe it when you make a milestone with all of the
uncertainty you face. 24w was my first (viability). 28 my next (good
survival rate) Now every day is just a better chance for fewer

Baby Liam Michael was born at 6:41am on August 2nd 2003 weighing in at 9lbs
15ozs.
I managed to give birth using only gas & air as pain relief and didn;t need
any stitches!! Woo-hoo go me!! Lol!

This morning while I was laying on my back my bf could feel the baby moving!
It was slight of course, but he could finally feel those little kicks too =)
I was really suprised as it's only the 21st week.
Just wanted to share,

an overwhelming experience to see my first child for the first. I
actually felt a little light headed. I suppose this means I am
guartanteed to pass out at the delivery!
