great site, Cat! :)

The only tip I have heard of for reducing swelling is to drink more water (yes, MORE water). I don't think I have swollen feet or hands yet, but when the weather gets hotter here, my rings do get tighter. As for turning your baby, I'm not sure if there is anything that you can do yourself. I...

It's only going to be me and my husband in the room when I deliver. I could understand having my mother in the room, but no way would I have my MIL there! We just don't have the same kind of bond. Come to think of it, I don't even want any visitors in the hospital after the baby is born, not...

So much for that 12.5 lbs, my weight gain is now at 22 lbs! I gain about a pound a week. And the doctor actually says my baby will be small! :shock: I thought for sure I had a big baby in there. I really miss my old clothes and can't wait to fit into all of them again (hopefully). If I ever...

You look great, AmberNicole! :)

We've painted the ceiling blue and we'll be painting some clouds into it. The sky is extended about two feet down the walls, where it runs into the mountains. On one wall we have a big castle with a pathway leading to the castle. On the other wall we have a big tree with chip and dale on a...

We're still working on the walls for the baby's room (painting a mural). I don't even have any furniture yet! :shock: Your crib is very nice, and the winnie the pooh bedding is sooo cute! I especially like how you put Ava's crib near windows, this way she can wake up to the sunshine!

I have noticed a drop or two probably about 4 weeks ago, maybe more (can't remember anything anymore). I was absolutely devastated and talked to my DH, but he says not to worry because at least we know I can feed the baby. He also said he has never noticed anything himself.

Hi! :)

I just wanted to make sure that it's not because I'm not drinking enough water. I'll talk to my doctor about it on Monday. Thanks for the replies!

:D :D :D :D :D :D Yayyyy! Congrats on your decision! I hope becoming a mom is every bit as wonderful for you as it is for me!

I'm pretty sure that I've been feeling hiccups lately. I think they are hiccups because it feels like very soft movements, but with a definite rhythm or pattern, almost like a very slow heartbeat. But I didn't feel them until a few days ago, so at about 29 weeks.

In the past 3 days I have noticed what must be hiccups. Just wondering if it is normal for the baby to have hiccups two to four times a day?

I have had a day where I didn't feel the baby move at all, and I was really panicked, but then all of a sudden it moved. I think maybe it had turned so that its back was towards the front of my belly and I couldn't feel the movements as well.

Becky, I visited the site you posted, and realize that this product doesn't seem to be available in Canada. :( Do you have any info on how I would be able to get it? I think I'd like to try it.
