It is so nice but I am afraid it is a bit shorter then I wanted it to be.  I

grow my hair long but due to a bad cut  in the past one side was obviously
longer then the other and short of always tilting my ...

Congratulations to any early birds who know they're pregnant already! Is
it a shock, or a much-awaited blessing?  How many pregnancy tests did
you have to take before you believed it? :)  Any symptoms yet?
For our TTC members, how is the journey going?  Need to vent, cry, yell

A friend of mine suffered a MC 2 weeks ago, she was 6 wks PG and bleed for 4 days.
Doctor asked if she wanted a d&c or let it go naturally, she opted for naturally.
She went for tests last week which showed results down to 600 (HCG ?) this week she has been back for more tests and ...

Hi group--
I mostly read, sometimes post.  Introduced myself a few months ago, but
here's a review: DH and I are 33 and 34 (just), and TTC #1.  I went off the
pill in April and have been charting since.  Was on for four years,

I know every baby is different, before and after birth. But I'm a bit
worried this time. This one just doesn't seem to move much.  I know I'm
super stressed lately, which usually makes them move all over. But this one
doesn't, which adds to my stress.

I didn't believe it would be an issue, but now, having gone 3 weeks since my

verification that this baby is still alive. I know moving to the every 4
week appointments vs every 2 is actually a good sign, but it's ...

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello.  (I have changed email providers and

Just had to share this with those of you who've been reading the rude comments
thread . . .
I write a column on life issues every other month for our Catholic Disocesan
newspaper.  This month one of my main points was how people often greet the

Does anyone ever feel a pulling sensation?  I know that babies can
really get rolling around in there and can pull on their cords.  I
assume that my little one is and has been doing this ever since the
start.  It just feels so weird now, though, and I assume it's because

You all might remember the problems I had through my pregnancy with my
OB,,,,she was HORRIBLE...NO bed side manners what so
ever!!!!!...anyhow, when I had Chloe, I really lucked out,,,,she was not
on duty that day..;-))

I have not checked with my doctor/hospital, but I'm really thinking about
having my 3 year old present for the delivery of our second child.  Of
course, assuming that I get an epidural this time (was way too out of
control last time)  Just wondering if anyone else has had an older ...

Eeeek! We found the perfect baby wipes for Rachel, and I am afraid that the
company has CHANGED them!! We must have found them just before Pampers made
them "new and improved"...wah!
We use Pampers unscented with aloe. I used to use Huggies Natural Care
