I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and was told that getting pregnant was going to be very difficult so I feel extraordinarily grateful and thrilled to be here! We've been through the ringer this past year with surgeries, Clomid, Metformin and lots of acupuncture. I still can't believe I have this teeny bean inside relying on me for everything:) I love her sooo much its crazy.

ITS A GIRL!!!!

yeah for Jess!!!! I'm sure you can do it, too. I really believe in you!

How long was Jess' labor? When's she coming home? Send her my well wishes!

Oh noooooooooo, I"m so sorry you're sick! I'd make you some chicken soup (although I don't know how that would help with allergies) if I was there.

I didn't know that you had allergies! I also didn't know you ever took medicine.

I was under the false assumption that breastfed babies didn't puke! SHe doesn't puke much, but she does do it!

It's funny...the two people that I've talked to on here with GD just had babies this week! THe other girl's baby was the same size as Rose and now Alex is 8 pounds. We were all so worried about big babies!

I got paperwork from my hospital telling me to come in and get another diabetes test. I'm not doing it. Russell and I decided it together. I'll just randomly test myself with the test strips and lancets that I have.

Have a great time at the acupuncturist. I hope you feel better really soon!

man, I wish I could come over for your dinner. Mine wasn't anything special, leftover PF Chang's with added eggs in the fried rice and veggies with the chicken.

I keep meaning to ask you if you have lots of little cloths. I always have either a flannel swaddling blanket or cloth diaper around for burping and spit ups. Also when I lay Rose down on the couch I put something under her face. Babies (even breastfed ones) spit up more than you'd think. I'm not a fan of bodily functions, so I can't even stand using them again and again. I'm constantly washing little cloths. Anyway, I'd say that it's good to have extra cloth diapers or something around for those little unexpected messes.

LOL, I guess I do sound dramatic with the maniac ex-beau and the French stalker!

heard from Jess yet?

Russell's dad is like a character out of The Royal Tenenbaums. He has a huge afro toupe and speaks in a hilarous way...indescribable. He kills me.

Wow, that's an incredible trip to Italy! I'm so jealous. How long were you there?

Travelling alone is lovely, but I honestly couldn't do Italy alone so easily. I don't like being followed. Paris has offered me the most troubles, though. I once got stalked by a crazy man there. He eventually pulled a knife on the front deskman that told him to leave me alone. Yikes.

At first I didn't bathe Rose often at all. I wanted her new skin to regulate. After about 3 weeks I found that her hair was getting oily every day, so I have been giving her a very gentle bath daily. I mostly use water with a touch of shampoo/body wash. Thankfully most of her baby acne is gone! Now I'm just waiting for this mullet to disappear!! Oh, what a shallow mommy I am. You know what's funny...even with the mullet and acne and cradle cap, she's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. Funny how that works.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

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

Sx

I wonder why Russ and Charlie can't do the savory sweet thing. Russell thinks apricot chicken is just absurd. He can't do cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving or anything. Well, before I met him, he didn't really eat vegetables or real food. At our wedding, his dad said, "Before Russell met Adrienne, the only green thing to ever touch his lips was mint ice cream." His dad thinks that joke's so funny that he repeats it and repeats it. It's become so lame that it's actually funny.

Where did you travel in Italy? I've only ever been to Verona and Cinque Terre when I backpaced Europe alone. I loved it so much.

I'm glad you have Ximena. I think it's so important that you have some place where you can just be so comfortable. When talking to Russell about friendships recently, I told him that with my new friendships, people will have to be willing to talk to me about Rose, teaching, or cooking. If we don't have any of those things in common, I won't be having a new friendship. I have many wonderful friends already and with a baby it's hard to keep up a relationship. I'm not interested in making new friends that are a lot of work and take away from the friendships I already have. I'm rambling a bit....sorry.

Have you gotten baby bath items? I was gifted the standard Johnson's and Johnson's, but my doctor said not to use it. She recommended Aveeno and Burt's Bees. I used Aveeno at first, but I just got the Burt's Bees with my diapers.com order. Oh my goodness, it's the yummiest stuff. When I wash Rose in it, I just want to bury my face in her neck! I also got some apricot oil that helped with the cradle cap right away!

Good morning! Your dinner just made me so hungry. It sounds amazing, delicious and comforting! What do you use to flavor your chicken? I always put 1/2 of a lemon and 1/2 of an onion rubbed in ground cloves in mine. I rub buttered herbs under the skin of the breast. I got the recipe from some old cookbook.

For lunch I had pasta stuffed with cheese and an incredible marinara sauce (I'm very,very picky about Italian) and some salad. The truffle I got was from the same restaurant. It was actually a rose oil flavored truffle. Very sexy chocolate.

Last night, I made a yummy dinner...marinated steaks, broccolini, and acorn squash with cinnamon, brown sugar,and butter. I think the squash was too weird for Russell!

Today I'm going to lunch with the parent of one of my students last year. I guess I really am becoming the lunching lady! Other than that, I'm going to attempt to get Rose to smile (my current obsession). Tonight I have to go back to the nanny's house to bring her some documents. I've told Russell that he has to ask some questions this time. I'm really intimidated about asking financial questions, like what it costs for overtime, etc.

Have a wonderful walk with your neighbor. Is she your best friend? You seem to spend a lot of nice time together.

I'm leaving for the hospital!! I'll be thinking about you and I'll call you as soon as I'm able too. I had my phone off last night so I just got your text. To answer your question, yes Rob is taking me. I'll talk you soon and say a prayer for me and Alex. Love you

Hi beautiful. We had a lovely trip to the beach. I had an amazing lunch topped off with a rose and dark chocolate truffle. We took Rose to the beach for the first time. She kept tasting the air and looking around. I'm sure she loved it. She was a lovely girl all day.

I'm pretty healed down there, but it still is tender to the touch. I am cautious about what I tell you because I don't want to put negative thoughts in your mind. I'm healing more and more each day. I don't look down there really. I am waiting for that.

I told Russell today that we're going to that hotel soon...maybe our first night away from Rose.

I didn't do any shopping. I checked out all of the sites,though...thank you! Featherbaby is still my favorite. There were pretty things at the other sites, but I'm trying not to buy too many things like the things I have.

How was your weekend.

I feel like doing some online window baby shopping. Any recommendations? I'm currently looking at hats and headbands (to accentuate Rose's eyes and hide her ever growing mullet!)
