Had my 6 week checkup today…everything seemed fine. I’ve dropped 20 pounds!! It was nice to see Dr. McFarland again. Its odd to see the OB so frequntly for 9 months and then all of a sudden not see her again. She said to give Avi til about 12 weeks to develop his own routine and […]

Read MoreWell I’ve been really relaxing and taking it easy this week, which is tough for me. I miss going to the Y and swimming and going out to play alot with Zoe. Thank goodness for friends who are taking her during the day to go play and be active. It’s hard, though, since I feel […]

The doc told me at my last appointment to come in if the Braxton-Hicks/practice contractions got more frequetns. […]
