joining those who are pegnant!!!

[jess]

I just found out my husband and I are going to be parents to a human baby! Need advice on names and everything else. This will be our first non-fur baby. I can't wait! I just want to run out and start buying all sorts of neat baby stuff. Does anyone know of any good books or web sites about prenancy? I already told Mark we need to start looking for a pony for the baby!

HIP HIP HURRAY!!! Congratulations Jess! This is so exciting, so many pregnant little tummies! When is your due date?

Okay, my bood recomendations are: Baby Bargains by some couple I think the last name might be fieldman, Consumer Reports guide to baby products, What to expect when your expecting, and Beyond Jennifer and Jason (baby name book) although I think the more recent title is different.

Congratulations, Jess!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excited to hear about your news. My advice on books, don't read too many of them - they'll make you a paranoid mess. Certainly stay away from "What to EAT when your expecting" I got this book and figured it would be a good guide on what to eat (health-wise). Wrong. They made me so paranoid about what I couldn't eat that I was a mess. There is nothing on this earth, according to this book, that you could eat, that would result in a healthy baby! My doctor told me not to believe everything I read. So I read articles here and there and take in what I can. Buy the books that Robyn recommended above.

As far as websites - I go on Babycenter.com all the time. Although, I don't recommend their message boards - confusing and messy, nothing like these boards!

Congrats again to you and your husband. May you have a happy and healthy baby!

Congratulations Jess! This is really exciting.
I have to gently disagree with trusting your instincts although I am a big believer in doing just that. I also think that knowledge is power. I think it's crucial to provide your baby the healthiest environment possible now to avoid possible issues later, and we can't always do that if we don't have the information.
Just a thought.

I'm so happy for all you "soon to be mommies". It's such a beautiful time of your life. I have no advice other than listen to your dr., get lots of sleep, eat anything you can keep down!!, talk to your baby & enjoy this special time.

And I don't have to worry about gettin preg. again----I've been spayed!! (hehe).....not that it wasn't great, but at this time of my life I'm enjoying being a "Mimi" (grandmother). Treasure every day--they grow up so quickly.

ALL RIGHT FOR YOU, CONGRADULATIONS!! But Boo Hoo for me, I want another baby so bad, I keep hoping for a miracle. My hubby is neutered (as he calls it). Just don't carry those babies very well.
