What would you recommend out of the available diaper disposal systems?
There is the diaper genie - I've heard this one isn't very good with
smelly diapers as the baby gets older.
There's the "diaper champ" which I've heard has a greater capacity and

We heard that an infant is too small to put in a crib and should be in a
bassinet for the first few months.  I had planned on putting the baby in a
crib from day 1.  Is this the wrong thing to do?

When this little on is born less than two months later will be my 21st. I
have some worries about this, I intend to breastfeed, if i *do* drink will
it effect the baby in some way?... also if we do the family dinner thing, do
you think it would be okay to take the baby, as i think ...

Okay, so we go into labor.  We feel contractions.  I'm not sure what these
will feel like.  At this point, I get major tightness in my tummy which
feels like the baby is pulling on all sides of my front.  Then, it goes
away.  Then, it comes back.  But, then stops completely.

I have just about everything I need, and doubt I will get a shower as such,
but I know family & friends will probably ask if there's anything I still
need. After seeing the price of breast pumps, I thought if they ask, I'll
suggest if they want they can all chip in to get me one. ...

Every morning I wake up and think, "Ok, today's the day Lily's going to
come."  Then I get really excited, then really scared and realize that maybe
it's not today and that I can use the extra time to emotionally prepare for
her arrival.  Then about 10 minutes later I want her out ...

I am back from my baby shower. (And the exhausted coma I lapsed into
after I got home...)
I drove down with my MIL. She was appalled that DH wasn't planning on
going with me, she said I had no right going alone, being pregnant and all!

i think we've finished shopping for chloe.  we had everything we really
needed, since riley's only 13months.  but we needed a new swing and i didn't
know how i was going to manage sleep arrangements.  we ended up getting the
aquarium cradle swing, which i'm in love with.  we saw our ...

Hi ladies,
I'm currently in the two week wait of an IVF cycle.
Quick background - transfer was wednesday 25th Feb, I have to test on
Wednesday 10th March.  I had two fairly good embryos transferred back.

The tenth month and beyond!  Postpartum is definitely a part of
pregnancy, so here you go:
All our new moms, if you're still reading here and haven't migrated over

...and I didn't even hear the program....
Monika did and told me about it.  One of our local NPR stations
(KALW, SF Unified School Dist) had an interview with a Doula.
What a crock.  She kept going on and on about how good the OBs

I know that Jen craved nachos recently.  Me?  I've been craving birthday
sheet cake.
I went out last evening to get some and believe it or not, couldn't find a
small one to save my life!!

I'm now at the three month mark and, unlike my first pregnancy, am
really beginning to show. So I figure I'm going to have to tell work
sooner than I had planned.
One reason I was delaying telling my boss was because I wanted to figure
