Thankyou for your kind words. I wish you all the best with your
pregnancy!
I wish there were more non-judgmental people like you in the world, then
it would be a nicer place. :o).
My son is now 3 weeks old, and I haven't been on the board until today.
He feeds a lot (he is breastfed), but gained a pound in 1 week, so it's
worth it.
I can't believe how people started asking me why I had so many kids and
how was I supporting them!
Thanks again,
