    Meddle, if you decide to get a pump for occasional use, I recommend the Avent Isis. For the first three weeks that I was pumping, I was exclusively relying on that, even though it's a manual. The Avent Isis is about 50 bucks and it was great. That way, when you get engorged, you can pump for a few minutes and get some relief. (And then once breastfeeding is established, you can pump some for your boyfriend to feed her too.:))

    ooo, I'll be sure to check it out Brain and Gen. Thanks for the input ladies :D i know my boyfriend kind of feels left out b/c I am nursing her, and I know he wants to help with taking care of her too. I have the bottles lined up so he can feed her all I need is a breast pump! :) My little one is sure loving her binky though :p

    My g/f, 16 weeks pregnant lost some blood yesterday after a really busy day. We ended up in the hospital and we heard the baby's heartbeat which sounded perfect. Everybody says things are fine, but still we're very worried. Tomorrow we'll go and see the gynaecologist for an echo. Something about the placenta. My g/f has no pain or contractions or anything...

    This is nervewracking... Everything was going absolutely perfect, we we're finally at ease after 12 weeks. Now this, I'm sure it's nothing, but it doesn't help, you know. A couple of weeks ago I heard my best friends sister lost her baby at 5 months. Guess you're never completely in the safe zone, are you.

    Be sure you both take it easy. Relax and give her lots of support. I know I was scared too with every little thing that happened, even with miscarriage. Every parent goes through that, but try not to think about it and always look forward to the doctor's appointment. Let us know how your gf's appointment goes. you both are also in my thoughts.

    i know my boyfriend kind of feels left out

    Yeah, as a dad, you kind of feel out of the loop at times.

    PBW went to the doctor today...her fibroid has gone down a little, but it's still 10cm. It's still causing her pain...she has another ultrasound in 4 weeks...doctor's hoping it will go down more.

    She was excited today because they weighed her today and she's lost 40lbs! She looks fabulous.

    hi everyone! haha. I guess Mel has beat me to the punch. I did have my baby on Jan 18th @ 4:15am. it was a 9 hour labor and the contractions were not fun at all. I actually thought the whole delivering was the easiest. :D

    My little Chloe Sequoia is here.I am sorry for my lack of posting, but I know you all understand the first few days of being a mom is going back and forth between feeding and changing and resting in the midst of everything. :p

    I ended up having a episotomy which sucks, but oh well, what can you do? But bringing her into the world is the BEST feeling EVER! My boyfriend and I are escatic w/our new arrival. She has made our life even brighter than it ever was :D

    Here is some pics of my little one :)

    Congradulations MeddleDeal, although a little late. Chloe is absolutely beautiful! She looks really tiny! :)
    I know what you mean about the pain of episitomy. My labour was 27 hours, 3 hours of hard pushing and suction. I think they almost left me too long. I just signed up for a photobucket account and will try (for the first time) to include pics as well. Here goes:

    Thanks for all the well-wishes .

    I never knew a person could function on 4 hours of sleep over 4 days. :D

    We came home from the hospital last night around 7pm. Xavier has a little bit of Jaundice, so he has to sleep under a special light...we're hoping we'll be able to remove the light after today.

    We have an appointment today at 11:30, so we'll find out then.

    I uploaded a few pictues while I had a spare minute this morning (PBW and Baby are sleeping):

    When I get some extra time (:D), I'll post more.

    Again, thanks for all your well-wishes.

    MeddleDeal...you're on the clock. :)

    PBM

    Just noticed this as I scrolled back through a few pages, trying to catch up on the recent births. My baby (Lily) also had jaundice when she was born. Her colour was very yellow after about 3 days, but 24 hours under the Billyrubin lamp broke it down and in cleared up within a few days. Very cute pics by the way. He's adorable!

    thanks Moonchild. :D Your labor sounds like it took forever, but you ended up w/a beauty of a child :)

    btw, your little one is TOO cute! I love those pics of your little one. She is too adorable! Aww, i can't wait to have my little one crawling. :)

    today, Chloe's umbilical cord stump came off. My ped. told me to use alcohol to clean the cord, but I never did. I read somewhere that it comes off easier when there is no alcohol. I hope it doesn't come infected or something :/ i'm just paranoid.

    ladygoddiva, don't freak out about nurses, they are there to help you out. They pushed you to do unbelieveable things, during my labor, they were very helpful. the only thing I didn't like was coming in at all odds of the evening, but it is okay though b/c I know they were checking in on my baby :) how are your appointments going?

    awww that is great to hear. Hearing the baby's heartbeat is the BEST thing to hear. Yeah it does sound funny, my little one was also like that, moving around like crazy that the midwife was like 'the baby doesn't want to be found" :p

    you can't see PJ on tour? I was 5 months when I went to see PJ in the summer time, and my last concert was at 8 months when I went to see Alice In Chains. Did they tell you that you couldn't go to any more shows? sorry for the questions...i'm just wondering. :o

    We're back from the appointment. Everything is fine, baby is fine - doctor says she/he's a very vivid one :).

    We do have to be careful. Seems her placenta is located very close to the cervix and there's a little piece of it dangling. Because of that she has to watch out and don't go bending or carrying stuff. In the next couple of weeks, when the womb grows, the placenta will most likely shift - which is good. But for now we still have to take it easy.

    I'm relieved though, baby is doing great.

    I don't see any reason you can't go see PJ on tour this year. When my mom was pregnant with me, they went to some concerts all throughout her pregnancy.

    I believe it contributed to my excellent taste in music :)

    yeah I hear that! Teach them while they are in the womb I say;)

    I took Chloe to several shows when I was pregnant with her. She went to "hear' Sleater-Kinney, 6 PJ shows, 3 Sonic Youth, Power to the Peaceful Festival (fea. Michael Franti and spearhead) both Bridge School nights (on the 21st & my b-day) and 1 Alice In Chains. :D Plus, I put my headphones on my belly and she listened to Neil Finn stuff and of course PJ;)
