We had our ultrasound today and everything looked great. We also got to
see the 3-D pictures which are absolutely amazing. Our little girl was
putting her fingers in her mouth, stretching, yawning and rubbing her
eyes. The 3-D is SO much different than the regular ultrasound. ...

I am an expecting dad and I was wondering if you could help get me
started on baby shopping.  I don't know the first thing about having a
baby and I was wondering if those of you could give me advice on where
to go to buy items, where I can get the best deals, what I should look

A friend of mine (male) lately told me: put a TV in front of a guy, and
everything becomes real.
Well, this is almost what happened at my ultrasound last Tuesday. In the
morning, DH felt his first kick from our baby. Next was the ultrasound. His

Okay, roll call time.  All you gorgeously pregnant nine-monthers, are
you ready to strangle someone yet, or are you still enjoying the last
few moments of your in-utero baby?  You're almost there!!  How's the
last month treating you all?  Everything ready for the birth, bags

How's everyone feeling this month?  Is the morning sickness gone, the
tiredness starting to fade?  Not too huge yet, but enough belly to run
your hands over with that sweet, wistful smile on your face when you
don't think anyone's noticing? :)  How is sleeping, getting more

Sorry for this post but it directly involves the baby (Rachel)! 6 weeks old
and ALREADY people are starting bullshit where she is concerned. I am

This is only the inlaws--for once, doesn't involve my side at all. We went

Just wondering if splenda is ok to eat/drink during pregnancy? Thanks:)

Hi Hillary,
I've got an older cat (13 years old) that is pooping outside his
litterbox.  He's had some problems over the last few months with
fighting with our other cats, so he's been confined to his own room.

Well, I did myself a HUGE favour today.  I went to a store and read the
manual for one of their strollers!  Oh man, I'm sooooo glad that I did
that.  I finally know what to go shopping for!  ...I think.  ;-)
Lately, since we decided to get a bigger car (we got it - yay), I've

 I had Joseph almost 8 months ago by c-section.
1) How long is it suggested to wait to get pregnant again after a
section?  Is there a certain amount of time that needs to pass for the
incision to heal completely?  From day one I never had a problem & you

Hi Moms!  I'm a new mom that just started a new business and I would
love some feedback from you all.  I came up with a few funny slogans
to put on kids onesies and would love for you all to check it out and
provide me with your thoughts on the shirts--which you love, which you

Was it you Ericka, who said Ibuprofen was fine?
Well, my midwife just told me it's all right.
Phew! I'm breathing so much better!

Is something wrong with it?  I can't get there!  It pops up and disappears
really quick.

Happy, happy day!
Just think, in less than 24hrs you will have your little girl in your arms. She
will weigh 7lbs 4oz and be 19 inches long. Smile. I am going to be away from
the computer till tomorrow afternoon, but wanted to "catch" ya before we left:)

Ok, I'm a bit embarrased to admit that I may have a case of athlete's
foot.  That's what I get for walking around barefoot too often I
guess--I must have picked something up at work, since I'm
super-careful at the gym.  But at work I occaisionally forget to slip
