Wow, these are amazing. Mine seems rather anti-climactic after reading the others.    I had some bleeding issues a few weeks before I was due (chalked up to overactivity because I felt so good), and got put on modified...

I'm here also. April Fool's Day, with a big ol question mark for gender. :)   (Well, that's what the dates work out to, but I tend to have elephant-like gestation. My guess is that it'll be Mid-April sometime.) 

Oh yeah the Tool ones are great! Who knew they would make such great lullabies? But I guess it makes sense, with different time signatures and whatnot in Carey's drumming. We got that one with my daughter who is 4 now, and I still...

I have the BeBand also. I like it, I just have to be very careful if I bend over or squat. :)   I'll outgrow it shortly, but it's been great for the past month or so. Just makes me mad that I didn't think of it first and...

Last time around I came up with a REALLY HORRIBLE name to tell people was the baby's name, just to shut them up. This (I thought) clever method completely backfired on me one day when a woman I didn't know accosted me in a store and...

Kaismum -   Leila is my name (and spelling!), and it's been great. As a name, it's interesting and different, but not too weird. I didn't like it as a kid, because people always mispronounced it, but now I really do love...
