I've got lots of catching up to do! I was exhausted last night and hurting pretty bad so I had an early night.
Maybebaby - Great news about the brand new Quinny!! You're Mom sounds adorable. She is going to be a great babysitter.
Havana - Hope you're hanging in over there with MIL. I love the u/s pictures. Great definition even if it was our least favorite tech. You have to request Iva next time- she's the best and so patient.
Nat - Hope you're having fun in NYC! It'll be great to come back to a nice clean home.
Joy - We always love seeing posts from you... and I've been checking the blog for updates. I'm glad your cervix is holding strong. I know you'll love seeing the babies weekly now. The nursery sounds beautiful. And, yes, it gets cold in Atlanta come about December! I remember last year I had to kick on the a/c for Thanksgiving at my house.
Kathy - Congrats on breaking our ICSI trend around here. Can't wait to see some pink again.
Trish - I went on the names website. Very cool. Cian is a beautiful name too. Of course, now I keep seeing Aiden everywhere with an A and I keep wondering....
Robin - I'm sorry your back is killing. Have you tried a heat pad to relax the muscles a little? We have one of those old timey ball rolling handheld massagers and I use it on my back sometimes and it feels great.
Cat - I fully expect closet photos on Monday!! It is going to look gorgeous. Then you really won't be able to resist buying clothes.
I went to visit a good girlfirend yesterday and her 3 week old baby girl. The baby is adorable and my normally energetic friend is completely sleep deprived

She had lots of good advice for me though. She too had a c-section and had a full term baby but the baby was only 5.5 lbs. So, she's just outgrowing the preemie clothes and diapers and barely into newborn sizes. As far as weight gain, my friend is 5 ft tall and gained 30 lbs. She swears by the second week after the baby she was already down 21 lbs. and didn't do anything as far as exercising. She's just eating normal and breastfeeding. I also had to pass this along. One of our other friends had this glider, swore by it, and now bought it for my friend. I saw it yesterday and it works wonders for newborns. The reviews alone would make me buy it

I was in so much pain last night that I was crying

Not like myself at all. So I promised DH I would stay home today and behave and the dog is even at daycare.
