DYK I did my grocery shopping over lunch. I used to be able to accomplish this in an hour...not so much anymore! haha


DYK I'm so glad I work with such a laid back group...I felt pretty guilty about taking such a long lunch!

DYK the baby's movements are changing- more pushing and rolling than kicking and punching?


DYK I am pretty sure I felt little fingers pressing against my side today- five very distinct points of pressure...really crazy!


DYK for the first time I was woken up by the baby at 3am because she was being so active? Better get used to it now huh?

Rebekah,


DYK regarding your knees...mine aren't the best, either.


DYK when I received physical therapy, the PT told me over and over again that the best thing for bad knees is to strengthen your quads; basically, the muscles surrounding and supporting that area.


DYK when I did the personal training, she had me do a lot of work on my quads.

dyk her 3/6 were getting a bit... snug. haha and the pants a bit short


dyk my mom got her 3 footed nighttime outfits (which we LOVE) and 2 onsie/pant outfits - they are too stinkin' cute!

dyk so no takers on words with friends for the iphone huh?


dyk do you all remember my friend with the baby in the NICU? he had the tummy omphalocele, and had to get a semi-permanant trach?


dyk HE IS HOME


dyk roughly. 2 home nurses rotating - Patrick has to have 24/7 VISUAL supervision


dyk and they have already had the worst of the worst happen - but he IS FINE


dyk the parents (and the nurse) had to bag him and do an emergency trach replacement the second night he was home - very scary, and he spent a day in the NICU but no damage was done - he was unresponsive for 5 full minutes but the parents had him stable before EMS got there


dyk they are my heros for what they can do now with their baby.

dyk Patrick's trach is volatile b/c it's not secure since he's growing so fast they can't secure it or it would cause a host of other issues


dyk my friend and her DH are only 25 this is their first baby and they have just been through the ringer. I feel ill thinking about it as there's just nothing we can do to help


dyk they can't even have people at their house - other than the home nurses and immed family b/c of the infection risk for Patrick!
