Girls!!! I just got an email from Amanda, and I have photos of Lexi and Abbie... once I get the OK from Amanda I will post the photos on the site for her!!! The girls are both adorable, mommy looks great, and all is going well... just the day to day life of having a newborn! Alisha: We have four names... our favorite boys name is Garrett Michael Louis and our favorite girls name is Courtney Renee... but just in case we have twins.... we really like the names James Michael and Kimberly Meghan. The second choice names are all family names, the first choice names are just well, because we like them. --- I am not sure if I want a boy or a girl, sometimes I think about how awesome a boy would be and somedays I think about how great another girl would be. Like everyone else I just want the baby to be healthy..... we want four kids... so I would love to have 2 of each. --- About finding out the gender...... Mike told me last night that he really wants to find out. That way we can shop for baby and start planning and all of that. He REALLY wants to know. So, I am only in my 6th week and everyone, INCLUDING my husband is trying to talk me into finding out.... so who knows what will happen by the time I get to my big u/s! --- What an awesome birthday gift! That is sooo nice of her!!! I am also glad that Abri is such a sleeping machine. POST new photos! The girls have to look so different by now! Jennifer: LOL on your story, like I told you on our other group.... it only gets worse once baby is here!
Linda: You look beautiful... and I LOVE the bassinet!!! So ladies.... how is everyone feeling? Are our new mommies healing well.... are our preggo ready to burst... what about our new preggos? I went ahead and started a babies online website to track the progress of our pregnancy. Our web page address is: www.babiesonline.com/babies/k/kaileyssibling The site is password protected, so if you want to check it out let me know and I will send you the password. Jacque Jacque

Hi girls, Linda- You look so cute! I bet that baby's bassinet is darling. Are you just so stinkin' excited? How much time are you going to take off for maternity leave? Or are you a stay at home mom? Jennifer- I loved seeing your belly photos. I want to see your face too though. It's fun to see who we are talking to. I will post a pic of me when I get my computer...and lose about 50 pounds. Ha! I'm just joking. Your little belly is ADORABLE! BTW, that story is hilarious! Amanda and Kristina- Who do you two think you are not coming on to talk to us? You really need to set your priorities straight. Who's more important, your baby, or us online friends? Geez! Ha Ha, just kidding. I hope you are both doing well and the baby girls too. Jacque- I'm excited to be driven crazy with the details of your pregnancy...Hee hee! I like the names that you have picked out. FOUR KIDS, ARE YOU FLIPPIN' CRAZY??? I would never consider four, unless God decided to play a cruel trick on me. You must be a Super mommy. I barely feel like I have time for the two I have. Good for you though. You might find your plans change after you have number two though. AMANDA- That can't be you in that photo!!! That looks NOTHING like your wedding photo. It looks like your hair is brown in the baby photo. Did you color it? And, in the wedding photo your hair is curly looking, but in the recent one it looks straight. You look amazing by the way. It does not look like you just had a baby in that picture! I would never post photos of myself after I had either of my babies. It would be like a character from Nightmare On Elm Street. Your babies are ADORABLE by the way. What a couple of cuties! Do a lot of people tell you that your little one looks like her daddy? Alisha

Alisha - I get 8 weeks paid maternity leave, so it will probably be around that amount of time. But the cool thing is I'm going back part time! I actually have to work full time for a few weeks to get the paid mat leave, but then I'm switching to part time, only 2 days a week! I've been full time for 9 years now so I'm super excited!
Amanda - cute baby! Congrats!
Had my OB appt today, and I found out a lot of stuff at this appt! First of all the whole practice of OB's are rethinking their stand on VBAC's and decided they'd rather not do them now. So, looks like I'll be having a c-section anyway, unless this little girl decides to come on her own and quickly. The date is most likely going to be September 26! He said I'm measuring big again too so it will most likely be another big baby. He wants me to go for another ultrasound in July to check on her size.
Also, I only gained 1 1/2 lbs, that's a total of 9 lbs so far and my blood pressure was awesome! It was 104/68. The lowest I've ever seen in my life! There was a little protein in my urine, so they had me go for a urinalysis, but the results came back normal, so he doesn't know why that is happening.
All in all a good appt!

Hi ladies-a quick post while Alex takes Abbie to swim lessons and Lexi is sleeping. We are all well. My breast milk didn't come in so we had to rent a hospital grade pump so I feel like a cow with all the pumping and still breastfeeding Lexi. The milk is much better now, although not enough to exclusively breastfeed, she's getting about 50/50 breastmilk and formula. The great thing about giving her formula is that she sleeps 8 hours at night!!! I thought it was a fluke the first time she slept that long, but she's done it the last 4 nights. I on the other hand still have to get up to pump in the middle of the night so my milk supply doesn't decrease (but only once, thank goodness).
Alisha-I look a lot different from my wedding pic, I know. I was born blond but with each pregnancy my hair has gotten progressively darker, now it's sort of an auburn color. I can't wait to have it highlighted back to blond though, I'm waiting until I go back to work and have more money to do those kinds of things. It's wavy so I can go curly or straight-depending on how much time I want to spend on it. I also have NO makeup on in that photo. Makeup helps alot (LOL).
Jacque-I'm so glad that you are so excited about this pregnancy!!! I hope the m/s isn't too bad.
Linda-glad to hear that everything is going well with your pregnancy. Were you really set on having a VBAC? or are you okay with having another c-section?
I'll post my birth story on a separate post.
Amanda

I have never had this happen before. I have not been feeling all that great at times.. Like I will get light headed and when I bend over I get dizzy (we just bought a house and ripping carpet exx. out) I have a tight crampy feeling sometimes my boobs hurt have not stopped..? Do u think I did not Ovulate? thats why I am having this problem or do you think I may have an infection? the only 2 doc's that I have, are very Pricey!! So I don't want to go if not needed... I know you just had a baby, and I don't want to bother you in anyway!! with my son I bled for 4 days and then 2-3 weeks later I was feeling sick, lightheaded exx.. (which was m/s, but I had no clue) family made me take a test sure enough BFP.... I was 7 1/2 wks when I found out. what do u think about my issue?? my temps are all in the high 70's... cervix is high and soft has been sense the spotting? spotting started on cd10.

Just wanted to update everyone, after today I won't be on much until Sunday or Monday. We are getting the cable (and therefore cable internet) shut off tomorrow. We are going to try to pack everything up tonight. We still have to do the kitchen/dining room, 1 closet, and some small things here and there to pack. The after Quentin gets off work tomorrow afternoon, the guys he works with are coming over to load the moving truck for us. Everything will be packed but our mattress, which will be packed on Saturday morning. Then on Saturday our landlord is coming over in the morning to do a walk through and get the keys. As soon as he is done, we will be heading out for our new house. I think 2 of his friends are coming down to help unload the truck, maybe staying the night too, not sure. I will try to get our internet set up on Sunday or Monday. All the stuf is at the house, just gotta figure out how to do it. Even if I get it up and running, I won't be on much. We are going to try to finish everything up that needs done at the house, as well as unpack most of the boxes. Hope not a lot goes on while I am gone....I dont want to miss anything!!!

Well girls….still have internet! Right now I am so mad!!! Quentin was told by his boss to take today off because we still had a lot to do around here today. Well that was all fine, until they called and told him “well since you have the day off you can go pick up the new guy and his family from the airport and take them to do whatever they need to do.” So I am waiting for him to get home to help me finish the packing!!! Why did they call him after they gave him the day off?!?!?! I mean there are 20 other people that could have went and got them!!! I hope he gets back in time to make it to the hospital by noon to pick up my medical records from the OB because they close at noon!!! AGH!!!
Our internet is getting shut off around 12:30 or so, so this will probably be the last time I get to check in until tomorrow night or Sunday at the earliest! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!!! IF you don’t have anything to do, you can always swing by my house and help me unpack!!!

Hi Ladies, Sorry I haven't posted in awhile still trying to get a schedule together but it's kind of hard with visiting people almost every other day . Sara is doing great and is a great baby. She is eating about 3 1/2 to 4 oz of formula know and sleeping 4 hours 5 the most. Sara is a little piggy weighing 6" 12". She loves to eat just like her daddy and eats her hands when she is hungry!!!! We gave her a bath in the sink for the first time the other day and she seemed to like it but didn't like her hair done. Ladies when should I expect my first AF I've been PMSing like crazy or is it just my hormones going crazy?? Amanda: How are you feeling since your long labor sorry to hear that it didn't go that great for you ? Your little girl is so beautiful!!!! Jacque: How is pregnancy going with you? Kristina K

Hey everyone, I am back! I set up our internet pretty much as soon as the computer was unpacked yesterday! But we were busy (and still are...but everyone else is still sleeping). Things are going well with the move. It would be alot easier but only 1 person is here to help Quentin unload the truck because everyone else backed out. We had like 3 people that helped to load it though. Just thought I'd update everyone!
