Thanks for sharing pics marilyn. I can definitely see progress.

EnglishSammy: My hubby had no clue about the stages in pregnancy and he made me snicker when I was about 2 months into it and he said that the baby "was just water and cells" lol When he heard the heartbeat and finaaly saw the first ultrasound he was amazed!

Haha, it's so funny how little some men know about pregnancy. Mine always thought that - as soon as we found out I was pregnant - I'd get a biiiig ol belly and swaddle all day. Well, it took me about 18 weeks to grow anything like a belly and here is a picture we have taken yesterday. It took me a while until the pregnancy seemed real. The first ultrasound was great but it didn't hit me...I think it was the US at 18 weeks, where we found out we were having a boy (I knew it all the way anyway, just female intuition) that really hit me and I started crying. I still can't believe I'm going to be a mom in only a little over three months...

EDIT: @Nizzy, when is your due date. I was just wondering since we are so close togehter in the pregnancies. Mine is February 23, 2007.

Yeah they told me Feb 19 is my due date but he could come a few days before or after that. I've been watching "A Baby Story" on TLC ALOT lately and I alwasy get all emotional when the baby finally comes into the world.

Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts.... (F)

we got a progress report from the doctor this morning and it wasn't good.... his brain bleed went from a level 3 to a level 4 on both sides.... Level 4 is the worst you can get, (bleeding out into the brain).... he wouldn't have had a good life... high possibility of ceberal palsy, blindness, deafness and he also had a chronic lung condition...... which means he would have had to be in and out of hospitals the rest of his life.... and it could have gotten even worse....

Hubby and I decided to take him off life support... We didn't want him to suffer........ We got to spend some time with our little Noah before he went to be with God.... (L)

I probably won't be on here for awhile but I just wanted to say thank you everyone for all your kind words and support... (F)

Oh no Marilyn :(

I'm so so sorry. My husband and I were both praying hard for your baby.

May he be at peace now......

take care of yourselves (F)

Not the boundaries drawn on maps,

With the names of powerful men.

That's all I've wanted -

To walk in such a place with you,

On an earth without maps."
