Quoting Elle With Three &1/2:" As of yesterday afternoon, I am released from bedrest for the time being! So happy. Had a hell of a time ... [snip!] ... later when I have more time, but...ya. Ultrasound was done and Lola looked great and there was plenty of water surrounding her!"

thats great to hear! what are you going to do today???? laps around your house? clean? jumping jacks? haha jk!

Quoting Chris's Mommy:" So I had my orientation with the Women's Health Clinic that I will now be seeing for the rest of my pregnancy ... [snip!] ... since Feb 12 at my last appt). Here I am at 22 weeks and 6 days. Sorry they are blurry, but my stomach has really popper. "

I ABSOLUELY recommend a midwife if you are a good fit for one! I had one with my oldest and, although my midwife sucked, I know in general you get a much better birth experience. They are MUCH less likely to opt for a c-section. OB's are trained surgeons. It is what they are trained for, surgery and intervention. Midwives, are trained in child birth - just, over all, the healthy birth of a baby with minimal intervention. They are much more likely to let your body work at it's own pace instead of putting time limits on things, and it makes recovery and bonding so much easier. Absolutely recomend!

lol cleaning! I went to work for a few hours last night, and today they had me scheduled off so I am going to do a good deep clean on the whole place

Quoting Bunni♥ 21wks!:" I was looking into getting one of these! I'm hoping with that and breastfeeding I slim down fast."

Breastfeeding doesn't help me lose weight   I always hold on to those last 10 lbs. I'm hoping a Belly Bandit will help shrink the tummy!

That's great!   Sorry your appointment was a pain - I read about it on facebook. Sounds like the staff at my daughter's pedi. Twice now they have scheduled our appointment and forgotten to put it in the computer. Wouldn't be so big of a deal if it wasn't a wasted 45 minute drive!  

Have fun with your cleaning and such! Be sure and squeeze in something fun for yourself.

I hear ya on the 45 minute drive! We live in a small town in a rural community....ANYTHING is a good half hour to 45 minutes from home lol

The house looks so much better now....I'm really wishing it was warm enough to go to the park lol I'm thinking maybe this evening after SO gets off work, trying to talk him into going to Babies R Us...I found a stroller/jogging stroller I'm pretty set on on their website and want to actually see one before we make the purchase. I'm so stinking excited about finding a carseat JOGGING stroller being sold as a travel system, if it's as great as I'm hoping it'll be a big peace maker in our family....and let me start running again sooner

I wish we could get outside today, too. The temps are gunna be below freezing again though this evening and Jake doesn't get off of the bus until 4

Warm weather would be nice. We got snow this morning. It's mostly melted already but it's supposed to start again tonight. So much for spring.

Right?! We're due for snow this weekend  

Eew... I'm sorry it's so cold where you ladies live! It's not really warm here, but it's not freezing, either. It was 24 this morning, but it's up to 45 now. I'm hoping it'll warm up some tomorrow or this weekend. I really want to take some birthday pictures of Ava (she didn't want to cooperate yesterday) if it warms up. I mean, I still could, but she doesn't have any cute warm clothes that still fit that great.  

Had my 20 week checkup today! And another ultrasound! Hes measuring a few days ahead! I've gained 2 more pounds. Im up to 118.5 now. And he is still a boy and everything looks good!!  
Hope everyone else is doing well!

I have had 2 c-sections and my scar has been very itchy lately, more than usual but its due to stretching.
