Hello and Congratulations Everyone
My name is Laura and I have been married to my wonderful husband for 6 years now. We have 2 beautiful children Kelsea 5, and Ryley 3. We are now expecting our 3rd child in September. Wow was that a surprise. I am so excited, I feel like I am having my first child all over again. I can't wait to see my little one. This pregnancy has been very easy for me, not really any morning sickness just extreme fatigue. Oooh, well just a reminder of what I am in for once the baby is born.
August 13, 2007
Well it has been a busy summer for us, which has not left a lot of time for the internet. I am finally 35 weeks along. Yahoo. My husband and I are hoping that our little guy or gal will make an apperance in 2 weeks. I wonder if I will be that lucky? The baby is doing great. I have been measuring 3 weeks a head the hole pregnancy and the doc. is starting to think that this could be a big baby. I sure hope not. I went to the doctor today and the heart rate was 140 bpm and going strong. We had an ultrasound done just for fun, and she/he looks great. My kids loved it. My doctor checked my cervix and nothing is going on down there, she told my son that the baby is going to stay in for a while longer and have a party. I was totally bumed. I still have not packed my bags for the hospital or gotten anything ready for the big day. One of these days I will get on that. Anyhow, take care ladies and good luck
June 13, 2007
Well its been quite a while since I have had the time to be on line. Since my last post we have gone for our last ultrasound and all looks good. I am so relieved. I am 26 weeks along now and I can't believe that there is only 14 weeks until the baby is due. I had my o.b. appointment last week and I am measuring almost 3 weeks larger than what I should. The doc. says that this could be from either a large baby or water retention. Lets hope its water retention. I am still getting a lot of pelvic pain/pressure, especially after doing to much work. I can't wait for that to end. I lucked out and finally got a baby that moves. He/She moves all the time, I LOVE it. I haven't gained a whole lot of weight yet either, about 15 pounds. Yeah for me. I think this is my best pregnancy yet. Anyhow, hope everyone else is doing well. Take care ladies.
May 10, 2007
We got the call today from the doctors office and we are going for our ultrasound on Monday.We are all very excited and can't wait to see the baby.I hope he/she co-operates this time around and we can get a good look at him.I am starting to think that he/she is sitting real low as I keep getting a lot of cramping and pressure in my pelvis/"down theres".I never had that at all with the first 2, so it is very new to me.I can't wait for it to stop, it is sure putting a damper on house work, soccer practice and playing with the kids. Oooh, well part of the pregnancy fun I guesse.
May 03, 2007
My doctors office called today and I need to go in for another ultrasound. I guesse my little buddy wasn't co-operative at all. They need some new picture of the face and the heart. They said that every thing looks good, but he was in the wrong position. Apart of me believes them but another part doesn't and I am kind of worried that there is something wrong. The tech. showed us the pictures that she got, she pointed out the face and the heart and said that everything looked great. So now I have to wait another 2 weeks to find out what is going on. Ooh hurry up 2 weeks.
April 30-2007
Hurray, we had our ultrasound on thrusday and the baby looks great. He/she would not co-operate for pictures, but it was still fun. My older kids enjoyed watching their baby moving all over. The baby has really started moving in the last week. He/she moved for 20 min. this morning. I love that as my older 2 were not real movers. Its hard to believe that I am 20 weeks tommorow. Time sure flyes by.
April 19-2007
Feel good today, still tired but getting anxious for the baby. I have a feeling that I am running out of time to get things done even though I have 22 weeks. Its weird because I never had this with my other two pregnancies. I did however get my sons room painted. It looks great and I love it. So glad I finally got it done. Our big ultrasound is next thursday, we are all very excited to see the baby.

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi Laura,
We are doing fine. Thanks a lot for asking. I did send you a message long back though it was private message. Since there wasnt a reply i thought you might have been busy. Ouch Thrush! its so sad to hear about thrush. i hope you both recover from it very soon. how did you get it in the first place? well we have the same old story of me pumping and her not latching. I am as you said getting more comfortable with pumping too. I am 11 weeks pp and down to 6 pumps. I am planning to drop another next week. how many are you currently on and how and when did you start dropping? ok, keep in touch,and take care

Thanks alot on the advice about breast pumping,
i thought a whole bottle was too much!!!
lilfishn - Thursday, 24 Jan
Everything else is going pretty great. Funny story: I was burping the babe over my shoulder and she spit up that made its way down my back and right into my butt crack! That was a whole new experience to say the least:) How is motherhood for you?

Hi... when my twins were 1st born they did a full hearing screening test using what looked like earphones which send vibrations & sounds & records the reactions as far as i know. i'm not sure if in Canada they do the same but i'm guessing so. It's completely pain & stress free & you can be there all the time =)
lilfishn - Wednesday, 23 Jan
thanks so much for the pumping advice!

thanks for the info. on www.kellymom.com.

I LOVE being a Mom now. Honestly, and I hate to admit this...I didn't feel that instant love for my little boy at first. And with all the frustrations with breastfeeding, sleepless nights and crying fits, there was a part of me that really was struggling with things. Now, I cannot imagine my life without our little boy. He's so healthy, beautiful and worth it all!
How was it having your second and now your third? I definitely want one and possibly two more children...but right now, I cannot imagine going through all this again! It's definitely tough!
LisaReader - Sunday, 20 Jan
Mommy2 - I really appreciate your encouraging and helpful words about breastfeeding. I have a hard time with it sometimes (this is my first) but I have done a lot of reading, and I am sticking with it no matter what! And I appreciate the others on this site who are truly supportive of BFing. So, thanks!
bodobaby - Sunday, 20 Jan
Thanks for the website info. My little guy is three weeks old today...and it's just been a tough road. I've seen several lactation consultants...and it seems to go great when I'm there at the hospital...but I get him home and it all falls apart. I even do my best to stay very calm as well. Even with a nipple shield, it seems like he never is satisfied.

It is indeed a commendable progress, I am sure as the time passes your dd would be 100% breast.
As for me as I said after a couple of weeks break I am trying to offer her the breast more and for longer before she gets the bottle. but it is only since a couple of days that i am trying this and she is just not latching at all. She screams to be even more frustrated than before. But I am not giving up and will continue to do the same. I am going to go back to work in a couple of months and that's all the time I have for spending time and effort on this. Hopefully she decides to nurse...:-( Sorry for such a long posting
cmbak1 - Monday, 7 Jan
Thank you for your comment. I have gone to that website a lot, my daughter is such a fussy nurser and breastfeeding has always been a challenge for us. But we are sticking with it!
frustratedandwaiting - Sunday, 6 Jan
I had almost stopped all attempts for the past 2 weeks or so...Just giving her the bottle and both of us being happy with it. But i guess that is not the way to go and I am resuming with renewed strength and resolve. But now it is getting even tougher. She is just not latching at all now. But I am still going to try. So she just latched on her own or were u doing all the skin to skin and things like that?
frustratedandwaiting - Sunday, 6 Jan
hi laura, i read ur message on kellymom. congratulations! i am very happy for you. I would love to know how it happened. my dd has completely stopped from me and she is just getting the bottle now-a-days. hope she too decides to nurse one day.
frustratedandwaiting - Wednesday, 26 Dec
hey! merry Xmas and happy holidays to you and your family!
genr - Sunday, 23 Dec
Hi :) thanks for the advice. Thats a very useful site thanks i appreciate it. I am glad to hear I am producing a good amount of milk. Congrats on your new baby as well! It must be getting easier for you now, i read it gets easier in the 3rd and 4th month? well take care
Kimmy-Kay - Saturday, 22 Dec
yeah I totally know that the laundry is crazy! I really love m 3 kids. I really hope that it stays at the level or easier than it is now. I do not think that I will be having four kids . I off and ogt my tubes tied. Seriously
frustratedandwaiting - Friday, 21 Dec
Yeah! I read a lot of kellymom posts and pumping is certainly a pain but gies so much of relief when I think I am doing the right thing if not anything else. Well we dont really celebrate these hols as much as you probably would. So just relaxing(if you can call that..:-) with my daughter! How are you doing? I am sure you must be pretty busy! and all the best and have a great holiday time
