Carmen- I LOVE that bedding! The pink and green, the ladybugs, it's so cute.

Kari- you have a beautiful little baby bump. Don't you just love kicking, moving, and hiccuping? It was my favorite part of being pregnant.

Congratulations Dusty and welcome to the world Malcom!
So glad everything went well!

Welcome, Malcom! Can't wait to see your first photos!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Woohoo, congrats with your new baby Malcolm, Dusty!!!

Carmen, I love the bedding. Ladybugs are so...I don't know, but I've always loved them. Even as a kid, I would hold a ladybug.

And Kari, yes! I LOVE feeling and seeing her move. They are such unforgettable moments. And, I honestly think they are like that for me because of David, more than because of Baby. His reactions are priceless, and the time we spend watching her, feeling her, and laughing about her are a joy. She really does the most moving immediately after he reads Dr Seuss to her. It's really sweet. I love my growing family.

Enjoy it, every single second of it, even when you wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep because of it. I loved being pregnant so much and when Nathan was born even though I was so happy and excited to have him in my arms I was also sad that the pregnancy was over. My body felt empty and I hated that feeling. Justin was like David, excited over every movement he saw and felt!

Oh, yeah, I know I'm going to miss being pregnant. I can already tell it will be a bittersweet thing, when our girl gets here. 99% sweet, of course. I absolutely love this experience, and am so so happy to blessed with the gift of it. I want to get video of us watching her move. I know my mother would love to see that. She'll see me in June, but won't see both of us until just before or just after baby's here.

I still remember those giggles... awww...

one thing I do not like to remember is when almost full term my kid decided to stretch.. I had a foot poking our through my ribs.. LOL....

one thing I dearly liked...(just like you with hubby reaction)... it that he would tap my belly two times and my boy would kick back two times too!!... it kept us in awe....

Hi, everyone! Malcom arrived yesterday (4/21) at 3:21 in the afternoon, 6 lbs., 10 oz, 19 inches long. I will post pics when we are home from the hospital.

Welcome to the world, Malcom! One of Lady's Human's best friends shares your name, and he's a big strong guy, and a nurse.

I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days.
It started out Friday with a sore throught.
I now have a low grade fever, aches and a very stuffy head.
I hope it's not the flu.
I'm calling the dr. tomorrow.

[Karen]

Oh, I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is never any fun, but being sick while carrying someone inside you is even less fun!

[finn's mom]

Carmen, take care of you! I have had two viral upper respiratory infections since the start of the year. NO FUN. The second time was worse and I had to take antibiotics. My fever kept hitting 102. Yuk. Just get lots of rest, and do what the doctor says. I keep my fingers crossed that I don't get it again!

My news this time around is that I have worn maternity pants the last two days. I don't plan on buying any maternity pants, but my mother bought a few things she found on clearance, so I wore them. She sent them to me when I was about 8 weeks pregnant, haha. I'll be buying one or two Bella Bands here in the next week, so that I can continue wearing my regular pants.

Gained about five pounds now, and still feeling great. I get hot easily, though, so that won't be fun over the next few months. I told David we have to try to avoid getting pregnant during the holidays if we do this again.

Hope everyone is doing well! Get better, Carmen!

Here are a few pictures of Malcom. I finally had time to get on Photobucket and get them re-sized.
