i've been trying not to buy too many 0-3 months clothes... i figured people will give those as gifts

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
Babies "R" Us - Soothing Motions Glider

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.

Peachy - I am so sorry to hear you were in so much pain last night. Was it cramping or something else. I hope resting today helps you feel better!!!

[Rob&Irina]

Peachy, i hope you start feeling peachy again soon

Havana, GO BLUE!!!

Peachy, why were/are you in pain? I hope you're feeling better! the glider looks nice. I added it to my very tiny registry and i agree w/ your friend that losing weight while breastfeeding isn't too hard. I don't know about 21 pounds in 2 weeks though!

Robin, I'm not expecting gifts this time around so i figure i have to be prepared all around (not that that's kept me from making a tiny registry in CASE someone decides to buy a gift and wants to know what we may want/need)

great idea we are starting to get gifts already and NONE of them are from our registry, so i have a feeling i'll buying a lot of stuff myself... but it's ok, i like shopping on-line

[JustPeachy]

Thanks for all the well wishes. I am feeling better. I wasn't even standing up for the whole 6 hours yesterday. It's just scary. It feels like cramps and just intense soreness/pain right around my lower abdomen and bikini line. I guess this is what the doctors keep trying to warn me of I think that was what pushed me over the line last night. Just realizing that things are going to get harder. I guess it's b/c the baby is just so low right now. He's basically right on top of my cervix. Normally, the baby wouldn't be in that position until the very end when they "drop". The funny thing to me is how clueless this little boy is!! He's just moving around all day long happy as can be! MEN

i am so sorry, peachy... btw, was it your boy that had hiccups during u/s? mine had hiccups last night, kept me awake and i couldn't stop giggling...

[cat915]

take it easy this weekend peachy! Might be time for your mom to commence knitting lessons!

[maybebaby]

Peachy- yes, my Mom will definitely be a great babysitter. I am so sorry to hear about your pain I hope you feel better soon
Robin- what do the hiccups feel like?

It was my boy that had the hiccups! He (and I) get them all the time lately. So funny. He was also kicking me everytime the real baby cried yesteday. Almost like he wanted to come out and play.

I've got an easy weekend ahead. Tomorrow I am going to brave the mall to stock up on all my makeup. I can send DH to the grocery store during bedrest but buying makeup is a bit much to ask! Sunday I have an open house at my investment house but I've got nice comfy sofas over there.

Peachy- you have the right idea! lots of R&R!

[cat915]

Peachy, glad to hear your weekend supposed to be easy- now don't get too sidetracked at the mall w/ all the cute baby stuff! although i think it might be amusing to see dh shopping for your makeup

i'm eating some chocolate now so i know i'm going to be feeling this guy soon.

When does MM get back?
