Activity for JulyBride

I had my appointment yesterday, and it looks like I'm starting to develop preeclampsia. I had heard of it before, but never read up on it until today because I didn't have a reason to. In addition to what they found yesterday (high blood pressure and...

Anyone else's men have pregnancy symptoms? Mine sure seems too! He started bloating up, having lower back pain, things like that in the beginning. Then one day, we were walking around a trade show, and my knees and ankles were swelling and starting...

Oh, wait a minute..... this baby has to come out?!?!?! lol, just kidding. But seriously, I'm in need of advice on pain meds. What has your experience been? I'm afraid of any IV drugs, because I'm not buying the fact that it won't affect the baby. And...

1) What day of the week are you "one more week pregnant"? 2) Which shows do you watch? Which ones do you avoid? 3) What traits do you hope the baby inherits from you? From your DS/FS? Which ones do you hope the baby does NOT get from each of you? 4)...

Danica Rose was born March 2nd at 7:54 pm. 7lbs, 8oz, 20in. Picture to come as soon as my phone and computer decide to communicate.

Contractions started at 5 am (It's 9:50 our time now) and they have been 5-7 minutes apart for 2 hours. They just pulled into the hospital parking lot about 10 minutes ago!

I just finally caught up on Julie's birth post, and went looking for other updates from when I couldn't get on much (Feb. 12 until last Tuesday) but am sure I missed some! So, updates, pics, all that good stuff please! I captured some belly movement...

It's strange, because I feel this new sense of calmness after what happened with my husband two weeks ago. After going through such a horrible experience, and us making it through, I know little things are not going to bother me anymore. Little...
