Rachel's spitting up got a lot better when we started solids twice a day and
were doing a lot of cereal. That constipated her so we are doing less cereal

Here in the U.S. for Thanksgiving food, does anyone actually LIKE cranberry
sauce with their meal? I never have because my family always used that
canned goop and so does DH's family. No one EVER touches it yet someone
still serves up a can of it.

Never having had an exactly normal birth experience before this one, I have
always been more or less an invalid for a month after giving birth.  So what I
am wondering is, what should I be doing in the way of activity at this point (9
days pp)?  Am I still supposed to be resting a ...

My wife had here first ever ultrasound today and we saw our little one for
the first time at 10 weeks. It is so real now when you see the heart beat
and the little 'martian' float around.
'Dad' I just will have to get used to it......

she left for the birth centre on Thursday, so obviously it wasn't a false
alarm, but now I am getting concerned things didn't go well :-(.
Wishes to you Zaz, wherever you are.

...the rather unexpected arrival of my second daughter, on the 23rd.  After
a busy day spent trying to tire DD out, and going to the funeral of my
friend's baby, I was feeling a bit spent.  I had had twinges during the day,
but put it down to being busy.  That evening, at 7pm, I was ...

I am still pumping though for some reason my supply dropped almost in 1/2
AFTER I stopped taking cough drops.  Does RRL tea increase supply?  I am
thinking I had a few cups when I had my cold full on w/ honey to make my
throat feel better.  I will keep pumping as long as ...

With my first pregnancy, I was induced at 42 weeks after having
absolutely no signs of impending labour.  They started by putting gel
on my cervix, then broke my waters 12 hours after that.  The
contractions started soon after that and after 3 1/2 hours I got an

I am planning to start TTC in May of 2005. It really all depends on when
Rachel weans so it may be a bit after that-I'm not weaning her to have a
second, but at 1 year when she can have regular milk I plan to start the
weaning if she hasn't already. I am not even planning on TTC ...

Yesterday I took DS (almost 3) to the Christmas Parade.  It was just the two
of us as DH was working.  He really enjoyed it but I had to hold him almost
the entire time as the kids in front were too tall and he couldn't see.  It
was really tiring for me as he is 35lbs and it was for ...
