ok just copied my post from the other board. for some reason had a hard time finding this board. lol lol Hopefully we can start this board up and running. Let me start by introducing myself. I am Denise. We, me and dh, ttc for over 10 years and finally got our miracle baby girl oct 27th 2007. we were thrilled. I always swore I would NOT be 40 having a baby and GOD showed me different. lol lol I was 39 when I had her and turned 40 in Dec. I would LOVE to start trying for number 2 but I am scared as I am just enjoying her so much. Although I dont have much time to put off waiting to decide. Need to make my mind up and fast. lol lol I have or will have TONS of question possible every day. regarding feeding, sleep habits ect and so on. So lets try and get this board up and running. Right now we are having acid tummy problems. We are currently on .4 well just got upped to .8 axid twice a day. the .4 was working perfectly for about 3 weeks and then the problems started back. Hopefully since we started the.8 last night we will see a change. EDIT---I am seeing a little change in her eating habits so hopefully upping the meds is helping. She for sure must not have a huge problem with the acid as she sleeps a min. of 8 hrs a night and has done that since she was 5 weeks old. lol lol mostly she sleeps at least 12 hrs. crazy huh. we do ceral just once a day right now i add apple sauce to it and she is taking that really good at night for supper. learning to eat off the spoon pretty good. we are on enfamil lipil and I am always willing to take any and all coupons you may get that you dont need. lol lol ok now here is my personal info about me: Denise-40 dh-42 married 10-7-95 *13 year anniv this year* open rny 8-04 and lost 137lbs (gained 50 lbs during pg lost all but 20 of that working hard to lose that 20) daughter-Janielyn 10-26-07 Take care, Denise

Emily also has a goldfish named Colbie. ~I'm a FT Compensation Coordinator for a global electronics company, and am a FT HR student at the local Tech School ~Although I love my family and doing things for and with them, in my "spare time" (HA!) I enjoy reading, boating, cooking, writing, scrapbooking. I like to putz with my camera, and have always aspired to learn cake decorating. Gabby & I are in a cake decorating class now--fun! ~ Hmm, what else? I don't know . . . Any questions? I really loved the pregnancy board, but have felt "out of place" there for some time now, as the baby has been getting older. It would be terrific to revive this board. It is wonderful to have a group of friends to share the laughs, tears and stories, along with the friendships and support system. I hope to see some familiar faces here, and meet some new ones! Have a great day!
