Chrissy- Jenna is so cute! I love the little bracelet!

Janay- Is DH back?

Stacy- I can't believe you are so close!

Well my back has been bothering me all week. I think the baby is pushing on my sciatic nerve on the left side since the pain is on my left lower back and down my left leg. We are down to almost no food since I don't feel like dragging myself around the supermarket.

V-Yep dh is back. It's good to have him home

I'm sorry about your back pain. That is no fun. Hope it gets better soon

So any names picked out?

Stacy-I hope that baby is treating mommy well. How is Amelia doing?

I'm doing well. the weather here is in the 60's and it has been great!!! I can't wait for April. I should be to my weight goal and heading to the RE. I'm getting really excited

V...by this time in my pregnancy DH was doing the shopping...I was too busted up to do that.

Janay...yeah for you almost at your weigh goal...I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you girl...I'm trying my best too! I'm down 30lbs...but I've got a lot to go! I'm doing it!

Jenn...Kelan is sooooooo cute! He really looks like his brother. BF is going like this...I pump 3x a day and get a total of 10-12oz a day...I give her that in a bottle and I supplement the rest of the feedings with formula. Every now and then I put her on the boob, but she is still hungry afterward. My body just doesn't make enough. I'm taking Fenugreek to get my supply up, but it's not helping...no biggy...I tried my best and at least she is still getting BM...

Hi everyone

As for me...I'm going back on one of my drugs (Celebrex) which is ok for BF...but soon depending on my blood work, my Dr may strongly suggest I stop BF so I can go back on my RA drugs..He says I'm doing more damage that is not reversible. Every day the RA gets worse and worse. I'm feeling terrible and wont be a good mommy to Jenna feeling like this every day...so I will go back on them if Celebrex doesn't help. Everything else is going great

I just booked the local park for her Christening party...I had to get an alcohol permit...most parks don't allow alcohol, but this one has one area that you can have beer and wine. I had to get a $1,000,000 coverage for one day...only cost $95 through my ins co...crazy!

Chrissy-Thanks I'm really feeling great and very proud of myself for keeping at it

You are really doing great with b/f and the weight loss. Keep up the good work

sorry about the RA. I hope you can go back on the meds. Pain is no fun..

Sorry I've been MIA. We've been redecorating the living room and painting and next weekend it's on to the kitchen. We ordered new countertops and are painting the cabinets and kitchen.

We let so much go in the last 2 years d/t to trying to pay for all of the IF drugs and cycles. We're gonna put up a fence in the backyard in May for privacy. The neighbor lady won't leave me alone now since I stay at home (she does too) and I want to enjoy our pool and the kids this summer without HER!

V...hope your baby feels better soon. By this time in my pg, I was like Chrissy...DH was doing the shopping. I was too wore out!

Chrissy...you've done your best, girl! After all you've been thru, you deserve to feel great! Just remember...Jenna will do just fine on formula, too. (I really beat myself up about not continuing to pump BM but Owen has done just fine on formula).

Stacy...Getting close! Any names yet?

Jenn...Can't believe Kelan is 6 months...heck, I can't believe Owen turned 7 months today! YIKES!

Janay...

on the weight loss! Can you pass some of that 60's weather this way! I can't believe we are going to have 30's this weekend for Easter! It's crazy! I thought for sure I'd had a few days of wearing shorts by now!

Other than the redecorating...we're doing good. Owen got his catheter out yesterday. I was so shocked by how long it was when they pulled it out...almost 5 inches! He had to be miserable. He has been very clingy and winey since the surgery. He still can't get in his walker or jumparoo so he gets bored quickly.

Kelli- That is awesome that you are doing some house redecorations. Our whole house needs to be painted!

Chrissy- Please do what is best to take care of yourself. Sounds like the plans are coming along for the Christening party!

Janay- I want some of your 60 degree weather. It just keeps snowing here.

Well I have given up on DH doing the grocery shopping. I need to move myself and get it done today... the roads have still not been cleared from the snow lastnight so I will need to give it a little more time (luckily I hired someone to plow our driveway this season since I am pregnant... the best money ever spent!). I also need to go to BRU since I have a bunch of coupons and I want to check more stuff off my list. I can't believe that the baby will be here in 7 weeks!

V...how did food shopping go?

Kelli...so glad Owen is doing well..yeah on the house projects getting done!

Janay...wahoo!

As for me...just got home from the gym again. I'm trying to go 2x a week to mainly do the weight machines. I do the treadmill too and I do the treadmill 30 min at home every day

I'm joining weight watchers on Tuesday!
