My wife is 7 month pregnant. What  items can she wear to feel more
comfortable?

How old are the kids?
What's the latest developmental stage?
What's your child's passion?
What's your kid's favorite thing (book or possession)?

Big *fat* sigh of relief when baby tipped the scales at 8 pounds 8 oz
today... almost 4 oz in 2 days.
Just about the time I'm getting the hang of the tube feeding thing... she
gets serious about her suck.

Hey, have any of you tried using the Shettles method to conceive a
girl? I have two boys, would desperately love to have a girl. I'm
getting ready to go off the pill again and start charting. I also don't
think I can chart very well while on the pill, because I don't think it

I keep getting this tighting/quickening feeling in my stomach.  It
reminds me of braxton hicks contractions very much.  This is my fourth
baby.  I'm small and very small waisted but it still seems unreal to me
that I could feel them so soon.  I had them at about 14 or 16 weeks

Well, we're going to do the pump and supplement thing for a while... I
discovered that while i *can* pump, nurse and feed with a syringe
simultaneously, it's not my preferred method. The whole process is rather
time consuming though. :(

I don't post much around here, mainly lurk.  I'm 18w3d with twins, both
girls! I was told that Jenrose is a baby sling expert, so I come here
looking for some advice on baby slings.  I saw the Maya Wraps and they
basically look like what I want.  My sling needs are to use while ...

As you probably assumed, I'm not really 4 weeks past due so take me off
the due date calendar... we've had a baby!
Emma Christina was born exactly on her due date, February 25th, at
7:29pm.  She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 21 inches long.  My husband has

I just fed Addie (6 months next week) her first rice cereal yesterday, which
she seemed to take well.  I gave her about 3-4 tablespoons of it.  She
actually ate most of it, rather than wear it.  About 3-4 hours later, she
was so incredibly cranky, for basically the rest of the ...

All,
Well, we went to court today to finalize Addie's adoption.  Everything went
well, and it was a nice event.  They do it first thing in the morning,
before the regular court schedule, and they have it in the judges chambers.

I don't know if I should feel worried or not. :/
By this time last pregnancy, I was puking my guts up and was nauseated
nearly 24/7. This time, to date, I've had a few 'gags' that don't result in
actual vomiting. And only once a day at most. With only mild occasional

I just wanted to introduce myself  :) My name is Shannon and I am about
6 weeks pregnant.  I'm very happy because we have been TTC #1 for 11
months, and have experienced one loss, but I have a good feeling about
this one!  I'm not exactly sure of the due date because I have anov

I'm 18.5 weeks.  My aunt had a high risk pregnancy, and she flips out
whenever I try to lift anything (which I think is cute, since my doctor
hasn't said one word about lifting).  Basically, I'm trying not to
carry heavy stuff up and down the stairs (because I don't want to get

Hey, I have a quick question for the group.  In shopping for a new
carseat for kid number 2, an employee at a local Babies R' Us told us
the average lifespan of a carseat is 5 years because the plastic breaks
down.  At first, being a very tired and hungry father at that time, I
