We just found out we're having a little girl! She has my nose! I am so excited I can't stand it! She really kicked me hard for the 1st time last night. She doesn't like me laying on my stomach anymore. So Hatrack, meet Leslie Jade. Leslie Jade, this is Hatrack!

Congrats dawnmarie!

How many weeks along is she?

Lewis is my mother's maiden name -- so Leslie Jade could be my very very very distant cousin! How cool!

She is 19 and a half weeks old. I am kinda worried 'cause the tech said she was 14 ounces and the baby books say she should be about 7 ounces now. I was 9lbs and my husband was 8lbs, so I guess I should expect a big baby but owwie that's gonna hurt!

In my completely unprofessional, uninformed, and highly non-medical opinion, that's one good looking baby! Congratulations.

I'd also like to say that the name Leslie Jade sounds beautiful.

Congratulations! [Smile]

How are you going to get your nose back?

She can keep it! I am done with it!
Seriously, I can't breathe and I can't take anything OTC like I used to. I have chronic sinus problems and am about to start a new fashion trend since I almost always have a BreathRight strip on! Does anyone have any suggestions for drugless relief?

Benedryl is what I was told I could take. I've found that sleeping with an extra pillow under my head helps quite a bit, though. When I have a cold, I boil a large bowl of water in the microwave, put a towel over my head and breathe the steam for about fifteen minutes, which helps to drain your sinuses. You can also add Eucalyptus or Peppermint essential oil. This probably won't help permanently, though, since mine still seem to clog back up after some time.

Congratulations and good luck!

Thanks Christy!
I'll try the steam. The docs won't let me take any drugs except Reg. Tylenol & Reg. Robitussin. I begged for anything! I think they are being extra cautious with me because we lost a baby last year. I can suffer if it makes Leslie J. safe. I just know next time to get my sinuses fixed before trying to have another baby!
