bigger bump bigger smile

My coworker was induced yesterday. First child. They tried for 10 years. She was due Feb 1st. 8lbs 2 oz Gracie Elizabeth is finally here.
Mommy must be stoked to have this girl in her arms. She gained 80 lbs (I hope a lot of that is edema for her sake) and was sick every day. I wonder if she vomited during delivery.
 
so i had my 30 week ultrasound and it turns out my guy is only measuring 5 days ahead not 5 weeks (thank god)!!! And everything looks good so far!
 
My husband and I lost our baby at 12 weeks. It was a very tough couple of weeks but I feel back to my old self once again. Just wondering if anyone here has experienced miscarriage, how you dealt with the loss and how you moved on? I have a blog, which acts as a diary of sorts. It's been a form of therapy, so I think it has helped. An old gradeschool friend donated 25 trees to a restoration forest/ecosystem in rememberance of our lost baby. What a compassionate friend... Rather than relive the ordeal by typing out specifics, if you are curious you are welcome to visit my site: www.ourbabyegan.sosblog.com

I am SO very sorry to hear this A number of girlfriends in my IVF group have had multiple miscarriages, and one most recently went for her NT scan (12wks) to find that bub had died at 9 weeks. As it turns out, there was a genetic abnormality that caused the miscarriage, but she was absolutely devastated. I think you have to do whatever you need to, to get through - blogging, joining a support group (in person or online), whatever helps. I read your blog and i honestly had tears running down my face. I wish i could give you a hug <3. My heart absolutely goes out to you honey <3

I just had a lesson and group discussion today about offering emotional support for spontaneous abortions. The main thing is that you don't blame yourself or take it as a personal failure. It's an incredible loss, though, and my heart goes out to you.

There aren't words for something like this, just wanted you to know there is heartfelt care from some Internet strangers who appreciate the emotions behind your loss. <3
 
I need advice. My son is 20 months old, and in the last couple of months, he's developed an alarming tendency to vomit when he gets upset. Of course, like every toddler, he gets upset if he doesn't get his way. I'm finding that this method had trained me to appease him as quickly as possible, because it's so much easier and cheaper than cleaning puke. This can't be heading anyplace good. :(
 
Thank you love <3

The belly is even bigger now, i'm almost 24 weeks! We bought a pram today, which has been hugely surreal. I also bought a few teeny tiny pieces of clothing that make me feel like i'm shopping for doll clothes ;)
 
we got the crib put together for our little guy..... I have been feeling guilty lately because all i want to do is eat and sleep and be lazy ug..... but i have about 4 1/2 weeks to go!!!! i am sooooo big already i dont know what i am gonna be like in another 4 weeks!
 
eat and be merry! don't worry, most of that size and weight is someone else =D

my little man is turning two in april. how time flies. ... actually, the first year simultaneously flew by AND crawled by painfully slow. it's strange, but that's how it really felt. the parents learn as much as the kid does!

anyway, here he is at a recent wedding

He is such a cutie patootie lefty <3

So i did a side-by-side comparison pic for a group I belong to - and holy I ate a watermelon Batman, what a difference 10 weeks make! I'm 26 weeks today and have renamed the baby Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance. The kid will not stop moving (i love it). Popavich is talking to my belly every night, all about his day and just telling bub all about the world. Melts my freaking heart <3 <3
