SMiller - Wednesday, 10 December Goodmorning ladies! I just wanted to say thank you for all the Congratulations on Caleb and for everyone that commented about what I posted last.
SMiller - Tuesday, 9 December Hey ladies! Well everything went good today. There are no signs that anything is wrong with the baby, but we're going back next month so they can look at the heart. And they confirmed that its a BOY- Caleb Christopher Miller.
gr8scottswife - Tuesday, 9 December I saw for the first time last night my breasts in a mirror. I see them from the top down all the time, but I saw them in a mirror for the first time last night, and I was aghast at what I saw. I knew my breasts had changed, but I was not prepared for what I saw. It was horrible, so much so that I thought I might need to see a doctor. Then, I decided to ask someone about whether this is common after breastfeeding.
I knew my breasts had become saggy and mushy (not firm anymore like they were pre-delivery), but I expected the saggy. The mushy surprised me, but what horrified me was the shape and color of my nipples and areola. When I looked in the mirror, it looked as if one breast had two areolas of two different shades and looked like an oval instead of a circle. The other one was discolored as well and seemed to have stretched into an oval, too. My nipples were almost purple. After a few minutes the areolas became larger, but they still looked deformed and there was a dark line encircling each areola, like outlining them. My breasts are still leaking though it has been 4 weeks since I stopped pumping, and they are itchy most of the time. Is this normal? Should I see a plastic surgeon?

Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.
SMiller - Thursday, 4 December Goodmorning ladies! I need you all to pray for our little Peanut.
Ok, so I have a question/ update. Have any of you ever had a test done on your baby and it come back abnormal/positive and everything be ok? I had a blood test done last Wednesday to check the baby out and my midwife called saying it came back abnormal so I have an appointment with a genetic counselor and a stronger ultrasound Tuesday to check everything out. I feel like its about 50/50, before I even had it done she said nothing could be wrong and it still come back abnormal. But if this turns out to be ok I'm going to be so pissed off, excuse me. This would be the second time they messed something up. The first time is when they did my blood and said me and my hubby had something- big surprise we didn't because we've only been with each other. I'm slowing losing faith in these doctors, or maybe its just the tests, who knows.
But I thought about it, because there is always that possibility that something is wrong. And I told Brandon I would still be happy because its ours and it would always be my baby because it would always need me. But it also scares me, because I was worried about taking care of a healthy baby and I don't know if I'd be a good mommy to one with special needs. And another thing, I don't want my baby to suffer.
I honestly feel like everything is ok, but I'm just worried.
Hope you all have a good day.

Dustins Mommy - Monday, 1 December Hey everyone I decide to change my user name from "Stella-Bella" to "Dustins Mommy". Just letting you all know, hope you are well!
SMiller - Sunday, 30 November Hey! Hope all is well with everyone and hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I have a questions for the ladies that are already mommies. I need advice on what to get for the baby, I know some items aren't really needed- because babies are a business. We've having a boy but we won't be sure until Dec. 8th, so some stuff we're not getting until after then. But we've already got the stroller/carseat, white onesies/socks, nail care kit, loations, baby oil, etc. I guess I'm just getting overwhelmed thinking of everything to get and don't know where to start. Thank you!
