Barbara-
Happy New Year!  How was the vacation?  I meant to ask this a few days ago
when I saw you reappear.

I love my OB! He is so mellow it's a joy. He's even more mellow than the
midwives we had last time.
I went in, peed in a cup, got weighed and bp checked (110/70) and then he
came in. He felt around my tummy to figure out where the heart should be

I am desperate to know the success that people have had with gender
selection.  My dear friend is trying to conceive a girl after 3 boys.
She is looking into gender selection and is trying to try and find the
best route to take.

The following website was developed for pregnant women and teenagers (and
their parents) who may want to learn more about adoption or find help to
keep their child.

I delivered my baby via c-section almost 6 weeks back. I dinot really
feel any pain even for the first walk on next day but then I was taking
pain medications. I stopped taking pain medications almost 12 days
later and the pain improved a lot but I am still feeling much pain if I

Yay! Yesterday we finally saw Rachel's bottom tooth pop through the gums!!!
You can barely see it and you have to look hard, but it's finally here! Her
first tooth....At age 7 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days!!! So basically, she got
her first tooth at 8 months old. Lol!

Alli had been taking EBM every 4-5 hours (about 3-4 oz), and at least
attempting to nurse in between. Well, yesterday, she absolutely refused to
take a breast, but started demanding food about every hour on the hour, then
taking maybe an ounce at a time. She took one good sized ...

I am at 18w 4d and I have started having some strange tightness on the
sides of my abdomen during periods of activity - its possible it happens at
other times but it might not be noticeable, because its the movement that
makes the tightness feel uncomfortable.  Its kind of feels ...

My little, two-month-old girl had an appointment for her shots today.
They took her temp and found she had a low-grade fever (100.4). The
doctor immediately suggested she should be checked for a urinary
infection and my baby was put through a horrible experience of getting

Lorelei is nine weeks old.  She weighs 12 lbs. 6 oz. and is 23.5 inches long.
She smiles, laughs aloud, and coos. :-)
She is a perfectly happy baby as long as there is someone to hold her.  On
weekends this is never a problem.  Weekdays I have a harder time getting things

so, I'm 18 weeks 2 days and it already feels like I've been pregnant a life
time. Today is a bad day, I have been awake since 3 am when I woke with a
painful contraction, so I'm feeling tired and am still having irregular
painful contractions, Nathanael is in a grumpy mood as he ...

I'm so annoyed with people saying that a woman can't lose weight and that
they shouldn't reduce how they eat if they are pregnant.
I am NOT looking for advice on not losing weight.  Rather I am looking for
honest answers from women that may have lost weight during pregnancy.

I'm pretty sure we are going to go with cloth diapers, using a diaper
service. For those who are interested the service is $14.95 (all prices
in Canadian dollars) a week and you get 70 diapers. This seems like a
good deal to us, as a 40 pack of Pampers Swaddlers or Huggies (don't

Thank you all !
Early scan done at 7-8 weeks was pointing to the due date of Jan 25th.
But my doctor miscalculated at that time and said Jan 30. Now again
she calculate after about 8 months and told that the due date is
