Melissa - What a beautiful name! If we ever have a little girl, her middle name will be Grace, too. :-)

Kory - is your little dog a lhasa apso or a shiz tsu? Your pup looks so much like my dog when he was little. What a cutie!

Tabitha - your fur babies are adorable!

Hi All

My DD's middle name is Grace and I love it!

Tabitha - is your placenta anterior? That would definitely dampen any movement.

As for me, I felt them early (14 weeks) but very sporadically until 20 weeks, since then, they have been crazy. You'll all get there and quickly forget that you ever didn't feel them moving!

Now I am feeling guilty that I didn't post a pic of my dog. Poor thing has suffered for the past 2 years since baby #1 came, I'll do that now!

Melissa, phew! What a relief! I am glad to hear that your u/s went well and they found the nasal bone. I also like the name Grace very much, DH and I were even tentatively considering the name Ella Grace but we settled in the one we have now. I have never heard of the name Amara, very unique and it combines nicely with Grace.

Celeste (Kristin), lovely family. Your DD is a beauty and Zoe looks like she is such a gentle and sweet pup.

Caroline, I definitely pictured you blonde and I was not wrong. Abigail has your smile and she looks very spunky. Mango & Chutney, great names!

Kory, I like photos in black and white. BTW, how are you doing?

Christie and Kory, your due date--October 9th -- is on my wedding anniversary date. It will be 4 years this Octobr. Such a special day!

Amy, don't worry about not feeling the baby. You really don't know how much baby Jack is moving inside. I confirmed this at my last u/s and my little one has quite an agenda inside my belly and every time she jumped from one side to the next, I didn't feel anything. I am sure yours is fine.

All the furkids are so good looking!

Ladies, I have signed for a few classes already. Please tell me if I am going nutso on this
*Cesarean Birth/Maternity tour. I am having this combined.
*Baby care. I have never changed a diaper or bathed a baby. In other words, I have no clue how to do anything around babies, isn't this pathetic? . I was told that it may come by nature as what needs to be done but this class may give the extra tips I need.
*Breastfeeding. I am planning to do so as soon as I can wake up and feel strong enough after the c-section. Just reading some materials on the pumps, nipples, bottles. . .they are overwhelming my preggo mind, so I hope this class gives me the best tools to be good at this.
*Pup and Babies. I have two spoiled furbabies that may need to be trained to welcome their skin sibling. I don't want this to be a shock to them and create a negative reaction. Everything should be positive, although I expect a few initial days of adjustment when the baby arrives.

The other update is that this Thursday, DH and I have a consultation with a pediatrician. He comes highly recommended to us by our RE who happens to take her daughter to this ped. So we will see how that goes.

Last night, my girlfriend and I went to see SATC and OMG, it was so good and so unexpected. If you are planning to see it, you will not be disappointed. We cried and laughed and after 2 hrs &15 minutes, we wanted more. I can't wait to have it on DVD

Netty - I am also looking forward to our baby care class, because I have changed exactly one diaper in my lifetime, about 15 years ago.

Celeste - my ob has only said that my placenta previa is marginal, he hasn't mentioned anything about anterior placement. This isn't necessarily the same thing is it? I am now feeling the baby move every few hours, which is great!

We were also going to use the middle name Grace if we were having a girl. Such a pretty name.

I love seeing everyone's pictures!

Tabitha, I don't feel too bad now knowing that I am not alone in this.

Amy, at my last ob/gyn visit last week, the nurse gave me a brochure that are offered at the hospital where I will be delivering. There are other classes offered but so far the ones I signed up are the ones that I am more interested. I may sign up for a prenatal yoga class in the next week. The classes will be at the hospital. I can run the prices I am paying, so that gives you an idea.
Cesarean/maternity tour: $50 (3 hrs)
Breastfeeding: $20 (2 hrs)
Baby Care: $20 (2 hrs)
Pups & Babies: $25 (1.5 hr)

I would like to know if anyone else will sign up for any classes and how much you are paying. My frugal DH thinks that I got robbed paying this much.
