 Do you guys have room for one more pregnant low-carber? DH and I found out Saturday morning via early prediction test (lol) that I was pregnant! Tomorrow starts the phone calls to my OBGYN to start the wonderful journey. I am so geeked! Good luck to the rest of the LC mommies out there. Summer, enjoy that little girl when she makes her appearance. Little girls are so much fun!

| WELCOME KIMBERLY!!!!  and CONGRATULATIONS!I'm still around... I'm less than 2 weeks away from my due date and I feel pretty good -- but very tired. And I think she has *dropped* a bit; it has gotten considerably harder to walk and I have to go to the bathroom EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY.  -- if that's even possible! LOL!Hope everyone else is doing fine. Niki, sounds like you are making excellent progress with your eating. I wish you (and all here) a healthy, happy pregnancy and *easy* deliveries. It's funny; I'm not nearly as impatient for labor to begin nor am I as anxious about labor/delivery as I have been with previous pregnancies... I guess -- despite all the diabetes/carb concerns -- I have really enjoyed this pregnancy and I'm just content. I PROMISE I'll let you all know -- or have Andrea let you know...  -- when I deliver.Love, Summer |

 Re: Pregnancy and Low Carb lifestyles I'm here!!! (BRIEFLY) I'm sorry I haven't been on to post... Raisha arrived on Saturday at 2:39 pm and she is BEAUTIFUL and HEALTHY!!! As my time is VERY limited right now, I am going to "copy and paste" what I wrote to the moderators here for you to read (to fill you in) -- in hopes that it will help/encourage some of you! Sorry, it's kinda long... quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raisha is just wonderful. I don't know what else to say about her. I certainly don't deserve this; she is so calm and patient and peaceful. I have never had such an *easy* baby! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. LOL! She is nursing so well and she is sleeping at night (like 3-4 hours at a time! ) and she is living in my arms (of course). I just HAVE to tell you the delivery story as it is so unbelievable, I am still amazed... Gotta make this fast as I can't stay on too long; it's almost time for bed. Anyway, as you all know, my doctor was extremely worried about Raisha's weight -- no matter what the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic said, she was convinced that Raisha was going to be 9 pounds (because I am type II diabetic). Never mind that I have eaten SO carefully this entire pregnancy and watched my blood sugars, etc... Whatever. So, she decided to induce me last Saturday (March 27th). ANYWAY, I have spent this entire pregnancy studying the "Bradley Method" determined to have *natural childbirth*. With my first, I had to be induced, had horrible back labor and was given Stadol (horrid, horrid drug which DOES NOT kill pain, but only makes you drunk and irritable! ) and an epidural. With my second, I had an epidural, but there was a kink in the line which caused the line to fall out and I had Natasha *naturally* -- feeling everything -- but my recovery was much faster (hence my decision to try to consciously go natural this time). Sorry, I didn't mean to get so long-winded about this... Well, I absolutely swore off ANY pain meds, but decided to "keep an open mind" about the epidural (with the vivid memory of the back labor in mind...). I'm glad I did. Raisha's labor was *ok* for about 30 minutes, but then it moved COMPLETELY to my back (and indeed, she was born "sunny-side-up"). I labored this way -- using my Bradley techniques as best I could for an hour and a half... but the pain was horrible. Finally, I told Clay that I thought I might need the epidural. I really hated to do it, so I made a decision: If I had progressed to at least a *5*, I would just grin and bear it, if not (I had come in already at a *2*). The nurse checked me and I was only at 2.5 -- after 2 hours of hard labor!! That did it. I got the epidural. (God bless anesthesiologists!!) [b]Within ONE HOUR -- LITERALLY, ONE HOUR, Raisha was crowning! I had jumped from a 2 to pushing stage! The doctor came in and I pushed once (count to ten) and waited for her to tell me to push again, but she had this weird look on her face. I asked her if I should push again and she said, "Nooo... she's already out." Raisha was born in ONE PUSH! That never happens!!! And she was so pink! I can still hardly believe it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She weighed 7 lbs. 11 ounces and she is 20.25" long. I will try to scan and post a picture soon... Oh. Raisha is beckoning! Thanks to you all for your well-wishes and prayers! Good luck to those of you still waiting to deliver/conceive...

| Re: Pregnancy and Low Carb lifestyles CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Your truely inspire all!, reading all of your stories some tend to bring a tear to my eye... beacuse I would love to have another child... but DH and i both know that the two we have are plenty... and my body not cooperateing... (skipping up to 7months at a time-then getting hit outa the blue like running in to a brick wall) I wish just one day hubby would say... lets have another. I dont see it hapening beaccuse our youngest is more than a handfull. But that doesnt change my mind.. I love kids always wanted a HUGE family the old fashion kind ya know... more than just 2 kids. but it takes 2 - to tango..... and can't make one on my own... I am so happy for you April.... congrats on the easy labor and the success w/ the epi makes me so happy to hear you had such sucess... have fun w/ that little bundle of joy.. |

 Re: Pregnancy and Low Carb lifestyles Congratulations, Summer!!!! What an amazing story. God bless you and your new daughter. I'll have to wait a little while longer to join you, as our IUI was unsuccessful. (Hopefully someday!) Big blessings, Lori 297/279/165 |
