I just want to say THANK YOU. I went into labor Friday night and the
doc said that I was going to have to have a c section. We live in a
very small town had to wait for the other doc's to get to the

Connor seems to like to be rocked to sleep, likes to sleep on my belly, in

We're travelling through ND, Ohio (Chicago only), Minnesota, Michigan,
and then on to NYC. Then we'll be travelling thru the upper US along

I'm definitely going to want a new baby sling for my baby, and a
friend recommended a brand called "Kangaroo Carrier".

Just wondering what the age difference is between your kids, and wondering
what you think the ideal age difference between kids is for them to be
closest emotionally? There will be 3 and a half years between my kids, and
personally, I really wanted for them to be closer in age, ...

I know with having a new baby there is a lot to worry about, but how
common is anxiety PPD.  Basically is this an everyday scenario in the
world of me,
I'll be walking on pavement carrying my son, and images of me dropping

I'm a mum-to-be and I've bought a Dydimos baby sling... Now wondering

Baby Declan was born "naturally" (but with an epidural - does that
