other day and I literally had to pick up a few at a time and then ...

I have just found out that my SIL is seriously ill.  We are hoping for the
best, but at this stage, we are not sure just what that is.  Anyway,
whatever the outcome, we may need to make a trip in the next few weeks.
Trouble is, they are either 6-8 hours away by car, or a 1 1/2 hour ...

I just thought I would say hi and introduce myself.  I used to hang

I would love to have my baby boy! Watch my husband with him.  I have always

My Nephew, now 17 was really mad at my sister for lying to him all those

As far as crying it out goes, it may sound like a dumb question, but what

few moments of your in-utero baby?  You're almost there!!  How's the

Some of you may remember that since dd was due on 4/10/04, I was
thinking 4/4/04 would be a really cool date to be born.  Well, I

What types of boy names do you like?
What do you think of Dalton vs Ashton?
My wife and I are trying to name out son that will be born in
December. I like family names of some kind and she is more "trendy".

questions, but finally remembered that, of course, Mary S. normally

other things on her mind.  ;-)

I've been reading here for awhile and have posted a couple times.  It
is official - I'm pregnant!  I'm about 7 weeks along and hoping for
all the best.  So far, I'm clear of morning sickness (all day) and am
