Reagan Eileen Rupert was born at 7:29am on Christmas day, weighing in
at 8 pounds even and 20 inches long. She is the most beautiful little
girl I have ever seen. My wife's endurance during the labor was simply
unbelieveable, and I have a newfound respect for any women who has

At 26wks, I think i've hit a 'growth period'.  Felt enormous last night,
all taut and tight and bloated.  Could only sleep in one position
without feeling uncomfortable ... and weird dreams .... my cat Bob was
stalking a very cute magical owl in next doors yard and I was fraught

Gee, I never thought I would WANT AF back, but 12 months (well, less a week)
after the birth of DD, I am still AF-less.  I am still breast feeding, and
refuse to give it up. DD is now going about 12 hours between feeds at night
(i.e one before bed, and then breakfast), and is down ...

Into the second half of pregnancy!  So it's all swiftly downhill from
here, eh? :)  How's everyone feeling?  Is your body telling you to start
slowing down, taking it a little easier?  How is sleeping going -- lots
of pillows stuck into every nook?  Bellybutton flattening out yet, ...

do you have a belly yet?...and do you feel the baby????
I'm about at the 20 week mark
I have a very noticable belly, and she has been fluttering all around
for a few weeks, BUT last night!!!! lol.....omg....she kicked the heck

I believe there was a woman on here within some months ago that was pregnant
and having a hard time with FACS due to a false positive drug test. Whatever
happened to her? Is she still around?

Someone sent me some brownies on November 19, and I've just received the
box.  They were sealed in Ziploc plastic bags inside the box.  They look
and smell okay.  How long a shelf life do brownies have when shipped by
mail?  They haven't been refrigerated, but they probably have not ...

Okay, roll call time!  All you gorgeously pregnant nine-monthers, are
you ready to strangle someone yet, or are you still enjoying the last
few moments of your in-utero baby?  You're almost there!!  How's the
last month treating you all?  Everything ready for the birth, bags

Anyone else feeling like this?  My skin is driving me crazy.  I'm
drinking lots of water to hydrate myself but I still hate having
anything touching my skin.  I got dh to put on some Aveeno moisturizer
last night and after a couple of hours I had to take a shower because

Ok, so I'm 21 weeks along now and since becoming pregnant I've gained a
whopping 4 pounds, though it looks like more.  Here's my problem...  Am
I supposed to be this darn uncomfortable only 21 weeks into the
pregnancy? I've noticed in the past 3 weeks I've really started showing

I'm 26 weeks pregnant now, and have had a lot of trouble gaining
weight. In addition, for medical reasons I can't have any
grain products, dairy products or legumes. We went on a
christmas trip that was *supposed* to be to my family, but due to

This is driving me crazy!  I have been stuffed up since about 10 weeks.  I
know this is common in pregnancy.  The main problem is at night.  I use a
humidifier, but it doesn't help much at all.  My nose is so stuffed that I
snore like a freight train (I wake myself up with it) and I ...

OK, I may not actually be pregnant yet (12dpo, but I feel very
positive..sore breasts, nausea, etc.) but I was thinking about trying
self-hypnosis tapes for morning sickness when needed and wanted to know if
anyone has tried them and if so, which ones are best/worst?  I figure that

I just found your site and I am looking for some support.  My husband and I want a baby really bad and we have had 2 miscarriages in the last 9 months!  I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant and I could not be happier! This pregnancy feels totally different this time and ...

Hello all...
Well, we are getting really close to the end of my pregnancy.  In
fact, my c-section is next week.  
I have had my last prenatal appointment.  Everything is going well.
