Did you hear about the baby that was just born? He weighed in at 17 lbs! His mom let her diabetes get out of control....

Danz - if you want a girl next time, read the book "how to choose the sex of your baby". It's all about timing sex around ovulation. We did the "girl" method and had Starr. It really does work and makes total sense.
Kimmo - sending good vibes your way. Hang in there. The last few weeks is tough. They don't let you go 14 days past due here in Canada either. Starr was 12 days overdue and I was really ready to get things going.
Hi Lance!!
Julie - Ella is so sweet! Don't you just love them!!

No baby yet! I did finally pack my and the baby's bag, and buy a "from baby" gift for Rowan, so I am feebly mentally preparing. :-)

Julie, the pictures are so cute-- Ryan is very handsome, and Ella always looks so happy!

Thanks, Lisa. I wouldn't mind the last part except for the getting up off the couch or bed parts-- But that just reminds me that I'm supposed to be squatting all the time anyway! If I'm still at work next week, I will be removing my chair and just squatting at my desk. :-)

Julieboo that picture is just too tender.

ENB- I just get so confused with all of that stuff. I started to read some websites and got super overwhelmed. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to get a checkup and get a prescription for prenatals.

It's been a while since I posted pics of Dylan. Here is a link to the new ones from our zoo trip last week:

Dylan is such a boy now. Funny how quick that happens. As far as the timing goes, you just have to figure out when you ovulate by charting your temperature and keeping track. Once your temperature rises, you've ovulated. Take your temp every morning at the same time before getting out of bed. Once you know you ovulate same day(ish) each month, then you know when to time sex. For a girl, have sex 3-4 days in a row stopping 2-3 days before you ovulate... ex. if you ovulate on day 15 each month, have sex days 9,10,11,12 then stop and see what happens. If you really want a girl next time, it's worth the work. It only took us 2 months to conceive Starr doing this method. I charted for 2-3 months beforehand to be sure when I ovulated.

Kimmo - news yet?

Dylan is so cute, I love his hair! :-)

I got an ultrasound on Monday, plus a checkup today with a fetal monitor, and everything is fine-- The baby apparently just likes it in there.

The midwife I saw today said that it felt like I could have the baby before Saturday (when I'm scheduled for the induction), and that the baby's head was "right there"-- I have been doing a ton of walking and squatting in the past 5 days, so I guess it's working. I hope!

Haven't been online much -- things are crazy here and both my little ones are down with the stomach bug. Just wanted to see if Kimmo had the baby yet.

Danz - take your temp with a basal thermometer. You can get it at the drugstore.
Kimmo - hope it happens on its own before Saturday. Good luck.
Danas - sick kids is very hard. Hang in there.
Starr had her first 2 shots on Tuesday. It was sooo sad. She cried so hard. She's almost 11 1bs now and doing well. She slept all day yesterday with one feed. Very weird but nice break for me.

It happened! I labored mostly at home, then got to the hospital at 12:05 pm-- Ada Genevieve was born Wednesday, 1/26/05, at 1:02 pm! She was 9 lbs, 15 oz (a total shock). I'll post pictures later. :-)

What a relief and difference from being induced, I am so happy it was totally natural. I think the hypnobirthing did help me last so long at home, but I don't think the pain was any less.

Rowan has only been sweet to her, it is so cute. We took him to school the morning of the birth and at naptime that day (1 pm) he told his teacher he couldn't sleep because he needed to see me. The teacher told him I was at work and he said, "No, Mommy isn't at work-- She's at home with Ada." At the same time Ada was actually coming out! Weird.

Congratulations Kimmo! I'm very happy to hear labor went so well and that you didn't have to be induced. Ada Genevieve is a beautiful name.

Yayyyy!! Congrats Kimmo. Ada was mine and Neil's grandmas names and Starr's middle name. So glad to hear it went well and the way you wanted it to happen. Now the fun begins. :-)
