Congrats!!!!

Thanks! He'll be a month old on Saturday. I can't believe it :)

I gained 33 with my first and 28 with my second. What's funny is that it took me 4 months to lose the weight with my first baby and only two weeks to lose it from the second.

Oh, and you can always switch providers, even at the last minute. A couple of military wives I know PCSed at 38 or 39 weeks and changed doctors. One girl I know changed doctors at 37 weeks and still had a VBAC with her new doc :).

I just had a VBAC two weeks ago in the hospital with an OB. I actually had never met him until I was in labor and everything went really smoothly. My doctor during pregnancy wasn't particularly supportive but I didn't have any complications so they agreed to give me a trial of labor. I didn't...

This happened to my Grandma, too, with her first son (baby #5). She took FOUR days to name him and finally they told her she had to hurry up and name him so she could leave the hospital.

We actually had a pretty difficult time naming baby #2 since we are having another boy and we LOVE our first son's name SO much! It seemed almost impossible and it took us until I was 27 weeks pregnant to finally decide on one we both loved. I don't really have any suggestions, but know that I...

Right away! I was completely in maternity clothes by 3 months.
