Hey girls! I think it's been way to long since we've done an update page. Mommies can't wait to hear how your LOs are doing and preggos what's new with you? Hope to see lots of baby and belly pics!

For me I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. 1cm dilated and have lost my mucous plug. Last night we did a belly cast and here's a pic from it (I look a little rough, LOL!).

[CandaceDianne]

What are you going to do with the belly cast? My MIL wants us to do one, but I just don't know what we would do it with it!?

I am doing great. Lilyan is growing by the second or at least it feels that way! I go back to the doctor March 25th for a regular check-up and my glucose test came back normal...yah! We are slowly getting her nursery together. We purchased a clock on ebay that goes with her bedding and the company will have her named personalized on it, so it should be cute. My hunger is slightly increased again. I have to have my mid-morning snacks and more snacks after lunch....its crazy! Still feeling pretty good and exercising, trying not to let my sweet tooth get the best of me!!

[Oreobaby]

Well, here is my 26 wk picture...I'm almost 27 now, but it's the most recent that I have...I am hoping that I can get a picture with me and my DH soon, we don't have any pictures together since I got PG.

[Lyz]

I'm sad that my work blocked photobucket and such because I can't see any of these pics until I get home

For us, Bella is 4.5 months old already (wow, can't believe she'll be 5 months!) She's doing fantastic A few weeks ago was really rough with the whole 4 month sleep regression but we are using the nap nanny and it has made a tremendous difference! I love my sister for letting us try out her LOs before we bought it

She's trying really hard to roll from back to belly and is almost there, but her little arm gets in the way (she gets frustrated and it's kinda funny). She's "talking" away to me and laughs and giggles...I love it! My favorite part is when she wakes up in the am and has a huge smile on her face!

I'll come back and post a recent pic of her when I get home tonight so you can see how big she's gotten! We go on Friday for her 4 month check-up (we got off a few weeks with the holidays) and I can't wait to see how much my little monkey has grown!

[Cheryl_W]

Not too much going on around here - in the first half of pregnancy, but 2nd tri... You know how it goes, not a lot happens around this time LOL

Definitely looking preggo, at least to myself and DH now... And baby is having a growth spurt right now! I can tell by how hungry I am LOL

The best thing that has happened recently... I haven't seen anything on my credit card statement yet, but I think baby ordered a copy of "Fetal Tae-Bo" from Billy Blanks because HOLY COW s/he is kicking me like CRAZY!

And I mean STRONG kicks. Already. Waking me up in the middle of the night if I roll too far onto my belly, getting into a routine where she kicks like mad around 2PM and 11PM, then on and off throughout the day... I've even felt her kick from the OUTSIDE and OMG - I swear I saw a kick yesterday! Just a tiny little pop, if I wasn't paying such close attention I never would have seen it but it looked like when you can see someone's pulse under their skin, but only once instead of repeatedly. I laughed so hard! LOL

Our 18-20 week ultrasound is booked for March 31st, which will unfortunately be at 20.5 weeks instead of 18-20 but whatever, my doc booked it late LOL

We've decided (well, DH did) that if we are told the gender, thats good, if they won't tell us though we won't go and get a 3d u/s we'll just wait. So we may be finding out after all, depending on how the clinic works

No belly pic since my 16 week pic, too much work to do right now to go and get the camera, take a pic, upload it, etc. but I'll maybe get DH to take one of me later or one with both of us (great idea Marci!) and put it here and in my journal.

The nausea looks like it is finally starting to subside, I'm down to 2 Diclectin/day (at night) instead of 2 at night one in the morning, today is my last day of 2 then I'm weening down to one, and we'll see what happens. Still sitting right around 160 lbs, but I had gained 3 lbs at my last prenatal (12 weeks - 16 weeks) so I am gaining, just slowly... I'm sure baby will make up for that later LOL

Could be in with a midwife as well, my prenatal class instructor has an "in" with a midwifery group out in Langley and they said they will try to take me on, so I could get my home birth or Abbotsford hospital birth after all! Exciting to see what happens with that, and enjoying the prenatal classes so far... Very educational about my emotions related to childbirth, I'm enjoying that.

Glad to see all the babies and preggos progressing along so nicely, I love to see my girls sounding so happy!

Anyhow I'm rambling now, I don't even think I've done an update this long in my journal in forever LOL - Hope all my girls are doing well today!

[MommaLee]

Lyz....I'm so glad to hear someone likes the nap nanny, I registered for one at BRU and if no one gets it for us I plan to purchase one.

As for me, I'm doing well....definitely getting bigger....socks have definitely become a challenge! I'll be traveling quite a bit for work this month - just project stuff and then a conference. So I'm sure there will be lots of shopping in store for me. We are finally clearing out the guest room this weekend, so the crib will be put together this weekend or the next. I had ordered a baby hammock in January, but still haven't received it so I canceled my order the other day. I've had no luck repeatedly calling them and emailing them. I'm wondering if it has something to do with what happened to Amby, but I don't know cause there is no freakin' customer service. Oh well, I'll live!

Here is my latest belly pic....it was taken the other day at 26w5d.

[chloe12]

Not much new to report from me - my due date is in 3 days. I haven't lost any of my mucus plug yet, but I've had a tiny bit of cramping. Yesterday I had 3 rounds of contractions that were about 10 minutes apart and then went away. At my last week's check up, dr said I was thinning out and baby's head was low. Not dilated at all yet though. I had an ultrasound last week also and baby is approx. weighing 7lbs8oz...so we'll see. I'm getting excited (although nervous) for labor to begin. In the meantime, I've been busy cleaning our house top to bottom, doing squats and working on pressure points - all of which seem to be doing nothing

Casey, you look great. I wish now that I would have done a belly cast. I'm not sure if they would sell a casting kit in the small town I live in, so it's too late for that. But what a great memory!

I haven't taken a picture recently, so here's one from 38 weeks:

[Jennifer-Jacob's Mommy]

Time is flying!!! all you girls so great!!!! heeh
I am almost 35 weeks preggo, not much longer now, feels like yesterday that we found out. can't wait to have him in our arms, can't wait.

My baby shower is Sunday, so excited!! ekk!! we finally got our carseat/stroller.

hope everyone is doing good!!

[tiffanys]

Fisher and I are doing great!!!! I'll be 21 weeks on Thursday and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow! I can't wait to hear his precious heartbeat! We are painting the nursury in a couple of weeks and I cannot wait to see it all completed!
Fisher is very active and I LOVE feeling him moving around in there; I'm hoping dh will be able to feel him pretty soon!

Anyhoo, here is my latest belly pic....he is definitely growing!


I really enjoy seeing everyone's updates and am glad everyone is doing well!

[CandaceDianne]

Everyone looks so great!!

[~April04~]

Savannah had her 2 month check up yesterday - She now weighs 9lbs 11oz and is 23in long - that's up from 7lbs 0.8oz and 21in at birth

She got the DTap and Rotovirus vaccines (following Dr. Sears alternative schedule) - she cried when the needle went in and that was it - I of course cried as well

She's doing perfectly - she smiles and coos now - melts my heart She also has really good head/neck control - and has rolled from tummy to back a few times lately.

Anyways - here's some pics!

[KCMomma]

Love all the updates and bellies...makes me miss my belly just a little bit...OK just saying that even freaked me out!! HAHA

Anyway, Paige will be 9 months old TOMORROW!!! I can't belive it. This is such a fun age. She is so curious and into everything!! She's crawling and pulling up on everything now. I foresee her walking very very soon! We have her 9 month wellness check up Thursday so I'll have more stats then. Of course, everything keeps asking when we are gonna have another. We decided to start trying again December! How scary huh!!! Anyway here are a few pics of her recently:

This is the first time she tried black beans...she didn't like them as you can see!!

[Jodi0804]

Love the bellies and babies.

Little Billy is doing good. Its great to have some nice weather and be able to go for walks, we went on two today! He is definitely teething so that mixed with the colic isnt making for easy days/nights, but we are holding strong. We are working on getting him to nap in his crib, not just his swing and sleeping in his crib all night (instead of coming to our bed around 5am). I can tell his colic is getting a tad better, he let me just sit and hold him for about 10 minutes tonight (no swaying, sshhing, etc). He always wants to stand and sit up, as well as chew on my hand all the time. Still working on him taking a bottle.
Here are some recent pics.
We are trying to get him to attach to a little friend to use for comfort.

[::MummyToTwo::]

love all the updates!!

Summer is 18 months today!!! seriously WHERE did my baby go??

Today she said please, thank you and excuse me all in the correct context!! I couldn't believe it! my mum was blocking a cupboard and Summer tapped her on the leg and said excuse me

She is currently sitting on the toilet reading a book she got that from her daddy!!!

As for pregnancy #2 I am 24 weeks tomorrow and time seems to be going so slow! I can't wait until June so Summer can meet her brother!

[LindsLuvsSi]

great updates! the babies are all getting so big and cute bumps!

Let's see....Zane will be 14 months in 11 days~! Time flies, it's crazy!! He's still not talking much, except for saying dog and the occasional daddda. we swore he said yes the other day though but hasn't since. he's really smart and understands so much! if you say yes to him he'll shake his head yes. if you say bath he'll run to the bath tub. if you tell him to go get his silkies (his silky lovey he has to have when he BF) he'll go get it. but usually when he comes over to me with his silkies means he wants milk. He's still not sleeping thru the night but that's our goal before #2 arrives.

baby #2 still have morning sickness, hoping it leaves soon... it's that's awful at night i can barely sleep. I'm soooo exhausted. I need more sleep between this m/s which seems to be not as bad if I have a lot of sleep, being prego and BFing. I'll be 8 weeks Friday. 8 more weeks till we should hopefully know the gender and i can't wait! we're meeting the midwife Saturday and hoping we like her.

[SassyMama]

All the babies and bellies are beautiful!


Siera turned a year old on Feb. 25th (I'm still in denial so it's not that serious )

We had her at 1 yr well baby and she was only 16.8 lbs so we're currently working on fattening her up. We go back in a few weeks for a weight check. She also had a checkup with her cardiologist (for those who don't know/don't remember - she was born with three different defects) and there has been no change with her PDA. At this point, the DR is most definitely going to go forth with surgery but it's just a matter of when. They'd like to wait until she's older and heavier. I refuse to even think about it otherwise I'll just give myself panic attacks.

In better news... Siera's almost walking! She takes a few steps here and there and is becoming more daring with letting go of furniture and walking. She's also dancing like a maniac which she never really used to do but we leave Nick Jr on for background noise and everytime a song plays she starts dancing

She's also mimicking DH and I a lot so we're trying to watch our language around her I was holding up these Moose and Zee dolls and repeating their names to her and she was trying to say them. I can't wait until she full-on speaks. Her voice sounds so cute and I just want to eat her up.


Here she is enjoying her birthday presents

[amazing_love]

I love all the updates and pics!

I'm doing well. Getting more uncomfortable as time goes on. My belly seems to be growing by the day! My baby shower is this saturday and then we'll be getting everything ready

This is my latest pic (taken last week):

[karenwalter]

Connor is 6.5 weeks now. I can't believe how much he has changed already! He is smiling now and cooing which is really fun. BFing is going super well so I am very thankful for that. He is doing pretty good at night. Still waking up 2-3 times to eat but he goes back down easily. We are working on daytime because the last few days he has been super fussy. I can't wait to see his stats at his 2 month check up.



I shared this one a few days ago

[Oreobaby]

I am totally loving all the babies and bellies... I love these threads!!

[MarinaAndCharlie'sMommy]

It's so great seeing how big all of these babies are now and watching these bellies grow!

Candace-not sure what we are going to do with the belly cast but DH is going to paint it once he figures out what he wants to do with it.
