I took my 1-hour test at 23w6d (this was done at my request, because my hypoglycemia had been getting worse). The results came back normal, although I don't know what the actual blood-sugar number was yet. The midwife I talked to that day (I've been cycling through all of them as I get to know...

Halfway there! How's everyone doing? Any Valentine's Day plans? Making the switch into "wow, I really look pregnant now" or have you been there for a while? Kicks and tumbles? Dealing with the glucose test, a possible amnio, results from the triple screen, ultrasounds? Happy with your birth...

Hi all, I want to make my own primaloft comforter - well, a miniature one, anyway. Does anyone have any idea where you can buy loose primaloft (down alternative), short of buying a real pillow, and then opening it up? Seems expensive that way. Cathy Weeks Mommy to Kivi Alexis 12/01

I had my weekly appointment today, and things didn't go particularly well again. I'm at 32wks 3days. It started out with my urine test, which showed keytones at the maximum of test strip, which I don't know what that means exactly.

we are thinking of naming our daughter (due in 6 weeks) ave'. pronounced "ah-vay"... we were thinking of ava for a while... but ave' sounds lovely, is unique, and works well with our last name. doing a google search i get the impression that it is a very rare name, so before consigning our child...
