doula, taken a breastfeeding class, toured the birth center/hospital,

Happy 24th Birthday, Kim R.!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)

Thought I'd ask this here since I haven't intro'd myself or had time to lurk

...from my former coworkers was Weds. We got a lot of stuff! First of all I
had been worried about getting too much and tons of the same items that we
wouldn't be able to use, and that didn't happen at all. (Someone else had
complained that at their shower they were given piles of ...

OK forget it, I give up.  They make me feel like hell.  I've put up with
them for long enough.  I've gone on and off of them repeatedly (due to
forgetfulness), and now I want to just stay off (since it seems like my
tummy feels 1000x better when I'm off the pills).  I've heard ...

Today was an exciting day.  My husband and I got to hear the heartbeat.  It
was very cool to get to hear it.  We even heard the baby move around a
little bit.  The due date is back to September 28, instead of October 2.
