That was nice carin
Lemonade, It is good for six months in a deep fresser and beleive me soon enough you will find that you need it as the curve goes the other way. Rotate it and use the old beofre the new. Also when you are winding down with pumping you can start mixing EBM with formula or cow's milk to ease the transition. You are doing great.

bhstarz · 06-10-2009, 01:20 PM

To all the great moms that are giving their babies boobies or EBM you guys are great and to all those that are not you guys are great as well

The best gift is a mother's love keep up the good work

Sandy72 · 06-10-2009, 03:59 PM

Carin, thanks for the new thread. My car seat went in the day I gave birth My water broke so I knew that it was time. There's no harm putting it in a couple of weeks before your due date.

Hopinagain, CONGRATIONS on your new little girl!!!

Keri, YES, it works and CONGRATULATIONS, your little boy is so prescious.

Diet, you are lucky you get extra to freeze. Emma eats about 80 ml's per serving and I get about 60 mls on average. It sucks. I am still trying to get the bfeeding down too. I can imagine how challenging it must be with 2 because it is with only one baby. Hang in there, your babies sound like they're gaining nicely and you are doing a great job.

Gwen, thanks for the encouragement! How r your lil ones doing?

rysmom · 06-10-2009, 04:15 PM

JCY - Thinking of you tonight - Good Luck!!!!!!!!!! We hope to hear baby news soon!

jcy0807 · 06-10-2009, 04:38 PM

Carin Thanks for the thoughts! Going to eat dinner and head to the hospital

everyone said to eat a good dinner since I will be on ice chips

. It was a relaxing first day of summer hanging out with DD and had a nap.

Wow have we come far since September. I love hearing about all the babies!
I'll post again when I can. There is wifi at the hospital!

TruBrit(2) · 06-10-2009, 04:47 PM

Hello all, first of all I want to say a great big huge

CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS !!

to every single one of you. Those that have recently given birth to their miracles and those that will in the very near future. I haven't been posting but I've been lurking and following your progress.

In case you don't remember me I cycled with many of you last September (TTC#2) but got a BFN. Fortunately I am very blessed already with a beautiful DS from IVF #1 who is now 3.5y.

I've been so happy for everyone who made it through this journey and came out the other side. There is nothing in the world that quite compares to pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood and I am so, so glad you all are getting to experience it.

I know when I was going through years of IF I thought that maybe I had too rosy a view of motherhood - but I was totally wrong. It has turned out to be far more greater than I ever imagined and the journey keeps getting better and better. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you have all been able to join in too.

I know those first few weeks are tough - but hang in there. It only gets better (and better) from here on out.

I wish you all the very, very best for the future.
I will pop in from time to time to see how you are all doing
Very best wishes
Tru (aka Dawn)

hkbuck · 06-10-2009, 05:29 PM

TruBrit - Of course we remember you!! Thank you so much for your very touching post. It was so nice to hear from you!

Diet - I have no idea how much my baby's eating since it's just coming right from the boob but I know that I nurse each time for about 35-45 minutes.

Carin - Thanks so much for starting the new thread and for updating the list!! About the car seat, DH installed ours a couple weeks before the due date because we wanted to get it inspected at the police dept. to be sure we had done it right. There's no harm in getting that done a couple weeks early since you never know when the little one will make an early appearance!

Jcy - Good luck!!!! Update when you can!! We'll be eagerly awaiting your news!!

2biscuitsplz · 06-10-2009, 07:13 PM

Keri, he is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Diet! What beautiful names! I know I have sure missed you!

Hoping, Congratulations!

Heather, so far it has gotten better. I have been putting breast milk on it and Purelan 100 salve too. EVERY now and then I have a ZING when she latches on and then it goes away.
I will try to post a photo. She has changed SO much! Today was her original due date!

2biscuitsplz · 06-10-2009, 07:21 PM

The first photo is from 5-28, and the second is from 5-29, the third is from 6-7 and the fourth is from tonight, her original due date.
