Not for myself...for another couple in my childbirth class.
We started classes last week Tuesday. DH and I are taking it as a
refresher. Even though I had precipitate labor last time, I know it's

Afternoon, everyone!
I'm getting ready to have my baby, and I need to buy a couple of nursing
bras that are a little more supportive than my beloved Bravados.  I will be
going back to work, and I need to look a little more...  structured, than

Last visit, my doctor was on me about my weight, really pushing me to only gain
two lbs. a month from now on . . . and in two weeks I gained 7 lbs.!
Honestly, I don't get it.  I am extremely hungry when pregnant, granted.  I
know I am eating more than before, but it is mostly ...

I've been looking around at car seats, and I must say:  Why *on earth*
would anyone design a toddler seat that has such a huge, thick head rest

Bought one today for $80 at ToysRUs and I can't get one drop to come out of
me.

As I was blobbing out on the couch at the weekend, I realised that I was
getting kicked/punched/whatever.  So I put my hand over my belly, and I

I would like to do something from home to bring in some money, but don't
know what is out there.  Most of those work from home ads are rip offs.  I
have no training to do any transcription.  Any suggestions?

Since DS will be only 16 months old when Baby November arrives I am
wondering if I am going to need two cribs. When is a baby old enough for
a toddler bed? Should I have DS sleep in the playpen and baby in the
crib or should I get a bassinet and have baby in that for a month or two

Uneventful appointment except that I found out that the baby is head
down!  Yay!  Do babies generally not turn again after this?  
Also found out I gained 10 pounds in the last 3 wks - that seems like a
lot, but i really don't know how much is average.  I'm thinking i may

I have seen quite a few happy first birthdays around here and since DS's
first b-day is coming up in two weeks I am wondering if anyone one has
any party ideas they could share? Or, what did you do to make your
child's first birthday special? Thanks.
