oh, ok. then you can get a lot of practice in. ;)

KNYTE always wants to practice, regardless of plans to get pregnant or not, it's just near impossible sometimes with a little one as I'm sure you've noticed.

The only thing I'm not looking forward too is having the dr put me on bedrest (we had the first one 6 weeks early for no apparent reason), but we won't know if they are going to until it happens. I have an appointment with a specialist to see if we can figure out what happened but am not keeping my fingers crossed.

That's what KNYTE thought at first too (my husband), but I broke him down. I was actually talking to him about planning on getting pregnant in Oct and he's the one that decided we should just do it now. Haylee (the daughter) has completely stole his :heart: .


so how do you like now being #2 in KNYTE's life?? ;) are you trying for any certain birth month? before i had molly, i wanted any month but august...oh well on that one!! we just didn't quite expect it to be so easy!!!

Any time before June, I don't want to be big pregnant in July and August, I've heard it's pretty miserable. If we get pregnant next month it will be March and our kids will be pretty much exactly 2 years apart if I carry to term.

i was uber preggers in july and it wasn't bad at all. i had to sleep with a fan on, but i love that anyway. there again, i wasn't going hiking or anything. i stayed indoors most of the time! did you carry full term with the last one? molly came four days early. there's a restaurant here that has an eggplant parmesan dish that has a high success rate of putting pregnant women in labor up to 48 hours later. i was 55 hours!! it's an awesome dish, too, and it's made national headlines!!

We had her 6 weeks early actually. She was 4 lbs 4 oz.

holy cow!!! were there any complications from birth, or was she just early? is there a chance this would happen again? that's so scary!! molly weighed twice her weight at birth...unbelievable...

No known reason, I'm meeting with a specialist on Monday to see if we can figure it out, but there really is no way of knowing if it will happen again until it happens. She was just early but perfect, and she isn't even "behind" developmentally, just small. She was 17 lbs 3 oz at the dr yesterday.

wow...i'm curious to hear how the appt. goes. you might just grow babies quickly!! i'm glad she was so healthy and perfect. she sounds very cute and petite...molly was a huge'un at birth, but she's a little runt herself! i guess you haven't been able to turn the car seat around yet, eh? that's great that she isn't behind, either. i'd never thought about it till i read an article talking about how if a baby's born three months early, you start counting their age from then. but really, they are going to be about three months behind because they weren't supposed to be born till later! made me think about it...not that it matters...i don't believe in comparing babies to see who knows what first. aren't they all going to learn it sooner or later??? it doesn't matter!!!

They did tell us to go from her due date as well, but I think it's funny since the "normal" span for babies is usually 3-6 months or more anyway how would you judge when they are "supposed" to do things. Here is my most recent fave pic of her...

And no front facing car seat yet, I did tell her she had to be out of the infant one by the time we have the next baby so the baby can use hers, we'll see how good she listens :) .

I'm going to have to agree. If this is just a back and forth conversation between two people, it should be moved to PM or IM.
