Hello all.  It's been a while since I was on here...
DH and I have decided to start trying for #3.  Not sure whether I'm
even -able- to get pregnant at this point (AF still hasn't returned,
probably because I haven't quite managed to fully wean DS), but we're

Hey everyone,
Just thought I would write in and tell everyone that for the past two nights
my 2 month old daughter has slept 8 hours!!! I'm in HEAVEN! Hehehe. I put
her down at about 9 and she sleeps until 5 in the morning...I am hoping that

I just want to whine and vent.....
I'm so fed up with being pregnant right now!
I'm feeling sick, sick enough to carry my bucket around again. I have
the stupid hemorrhoids again, which hurt like, well, they just hurt a

I am usually a very mellow, soft spoken person but in the past few
weeks (my daughter just turned 3 months today) I have been really rude

being made to pay a good portion of things that were 100% covered with DD.
The cost has gone up HIGHLY- with DD all we paid was a deductible of $200
and every test, ever *everything* was covered. Our ...

Thanks for the suggestions...I don't want to carry her around for two
reasons #1. I don't have a great back and it would kill me having a sling on
for most of the day and #2. I just don't want her to get used to being held
all the time.

i trim and file our 3mth old nails regularly but she still manages to
scratch at night. recently she had some really bad scratches near her
tear duct. i am worried she could damage her eyes
the alternative is to put the mittens on again but i am worried these

My 11 weeks old has decided he'd like his growth spurt early !!
I'm back to feeding almost hourly during the day from 6am.........I was so
tired at 5pm yesterday I gave in gave him 4oz formula thinking it would help
fill him, 2 hours later he wanted another feed.

Have any of you had a terrible birth experience where you went on to have
another one? If so what was the experience and what was the experience that
followed the bad experience?

#3 celebrated being two months today by sleeping through over 12 hours!
8:30pm-8:40am. I was relieved to feed him this morning as I was so engorged.
I feel a bit sad to think he may not have any more night feeds (once #1
slept through she rarely woke during the night for a feed)

I was going to write a post earlier, to see if you thought Jessica was
testing her boundaries as she's drivien me nuts all week - 13 months now. I
just sat down to write it, when I heard a very mischevious giggle from the
conservatory, where a can of paint was hidden behind the ...
