Lindsey- I was in your position when I was your age. You would probably
be suprised to find out that you are not as alone as you seem. There
are many things you can do to help yourself out. Remember, the father
of the child, whether in your life or not, is required to pay child

Daye,
You have defended me publicly.
You were doing so again.
I betrayed you.

I hadn't planned to use bumper pads on the crib-they've always seemed like a
suffocation hazard, to say the least. And when we moved Alli into the crib,
she had no problems. However, now that it's gotten warm enough that she
