Congratulations to all of you!! What wonderful news, I'm glad everything went well and that so far she is being such a good baby. I can't wait to hear what you name her! I remember when I had Jenna how big Jake looked, it was very traumatic for me...my little boy looked so big! He was my baby for so long and all of the sudden he looked like he was 5 years old! Weird.

Hi guys, we have finally named Baby B - on her 2 week b-day just as we did with Nate. Her name is: Starr Leigh Ada - Starr because we really like it. Leigh because we thought it sounded good together and Ada because both our grandmas were named Ada. Starr is a little out there but the name really suits her. Here's her announcement card:

She is adorable. Her hands look so little and her face is just so perfect. She has those bigs eyes and I could just cuddle her up and rock forever.

In the old "Betsy" books, her little sister is named Star. Then in the "Emily" books, Emily's last name is Starr! It's very pretty. What is she looking at in the picture? She has such a cute discerning look on her face.

Nate is doing well. He's in the real "twos" right now so everything is a negotiation. Getting dressed, getting boots on, eating... etc. You name it, he doesn't want to do it. Good thing is he loves Starr and hugs and kisses her all the time. He's shown absolutely no jealousy towards her and really tolerates me holding/feeding her so much which is great. When she eats, he calls it "yucky booby milk" - ha ha!! Very cute. Still early days but so far so good. Not sure what she's looking at in the pic but she likes to stare at the bee.

Oh my, she is such a doll! I think that it is neat that you gave yourselves the time to select the name that truly suits your little girl.

I took Starr to the dr. this a.m. for a weight check and she's 8 1bs already. She's been eating a lot more this past week and not sleeping as long so I'm hoping it's a growth spurt. I got quite spoiled the first 2 weeks I must say. It's freezing here - it's - 30 degrees celcius and it's impossible to go out for a walk so I'm feeling pretty isolated. Lost track of the days and can't believe Christmas is this Saturday! There's something to be said for having a baby in the Spring/Summer - where I live anyway.

Lisa, thanks for the pictures and update about Starr. Sorry you are feeling a little isolated. I hope there is plenty going on for you over the Christmas weekend.

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas! Lisa, hope you're doing well....I'm at 37 weeks and not feeling anything (except baby movement, as happened with Rowan). The midwife today recommended that I start taking evening primrose oil 2x a day to help thin the cervix, so I will be getting that this week. I was just curious if anyone here has tried it?

The countdown is on you now Kimmo. Good luck. I'll be thinking of you. Hope you're feeling good. My sis is scheduled to be induced a week from Saturday. Her twins are over 6 1bs each now and she's having a hard time walking. She's HUGE! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and fun with your little ones. Our's was chaotic but good. Too many presents so Nate was overwhelmed but did well. We gave him his big boy bed on Boxing Day. He was so excited and napped and went to bed in it for 2 days then decided he wanted to sleep in his crib again. We left that in his room so we give him the choice. He's doing well. Starr is growing like a weed, and took a bottle twice this week... so excited because Nate refused the bottle - probably because I introduced it way too late as all the info tells us to do. So I see some freedom in my future with this little one although I can't imagine leaving her just yet. Happy new year everyone. Best wishes to all of you for a great 2005.

Sis had her twins on Sunday morning. Dean came first weighing 6 1bs, 4 oz, and Lauren came 15 min later weighing 5 1bs, 14 oz. Lauren was in ICU for 2 days because of low glucose and breathing issues, but will be in with Sarah today. Dean is nursing well and is very sweet. We were there yesterday and I'll be back again tonight with Starr. She goes home tomorrow. Very exciting!

Congratulations to your sister, Lisa! 6 lbs is big for twins, that is great. Thanks for asking, Dana-- I feel exactly like I did with Rowan (like I could go at least another month without giving birth)! I started taking 1000 mg of borage oil daily, it has higher concentrations of GLA/prostoglandins that evening primrose oil is supposed to offer. I hope it helps! Off to my weekly checkup now...
