same here, all. We have a girl, then a boy and it boggles minds that we are going again! "one of each" is the phrase that gets me, as of all boys and ask girls can easily be classified as "one type" of child. Won't I always have"one of...

The fact that rather than act now some way, your doctor wants you to repeat the test in 3 weeks, says to me that there is no major concern. Testing someone and having results does nothing to change outcomes. It's only the response to...

23 weeks, now we're getting somewhere!  My anterior placenta is FINALLY allowing me to feel some good daily movement, but still much less than I'd expect at this point.  It is also making my uterus so full of baby at the...

I'm getting this with #3.  I just don't get why people make such a big deal of it.  I know some claim to be environmentalists, but I don't know if everyone buying a new TV when theirs still works gets hassle from the public,...
