Melanie - Your pastor is too funny. I think it would be great if you got at least one girl. I actually bought cloth diapers the other day. I am thinking that I am willing to try them for the sake of saving money, but if it is too gross, or too much work, then disposables it is. Jen - so...

Something to consider... Her fears may be rooted in a lack of control. While at 7 years old fear may be kept away by teaching that mommy will keep you safe and does not allow bad dreams, it is worthwhile to begin teaching her to face and overcome her fears. You know your daughter best, what...

Things that are used up are very good. Like PPs said diapers, wipes, pads and bags if she will breastfeed, formula if not. Something else that would be nice is that a 3rd usually does not get all of the personalized blankets, bibs, room decor, etc that a 1st gets. If you have a name then...

Sorry I have not been keeping up the past couple of weeks... Hello to everyone! I am glad to hear that everyone is coming along nicely. I had my 21 week ultrasound on Monday... It's a boy! I have 3 names I like, and will not be picking until I meet my son. Baby boy has been very busy, he spent...

I cannot really say what is "best", but I will tell you what my DH and I did. We adopted out of the classifieds, free cat, but more expensive for shots and spaying. We got two girls who were littermates. They were 8 weeks old, and already litter box trained. From what I have read, cats...

Hello Ladies! Well, I am now scheduled for my ultrasound, but it will not be for three more weeks. I want to see my baby again more than I care if it is a boy or a girl. I am still trying to figure out what I will get from hand-me-downs and showers vs. what I need to buy. And I am keeping an...

Melanie - I know just how victorious you feel. I was constipated for about 4 weeks and when it finally cleared up I almost cried with relief. Christine - I am with you on cheese. I made a baked brie for my husbands birthday party and have been enjoying the leftovers far more than my usually...

Howdy everyone and welcome Kristine! I stayed really busy this weekend. I went to a youth lock-in on Friday night and was the first to sleep at 2:00 am. I just can't keep up! Sunday I felt my baby move for the first time. I only felt it when I was laying down though. I started Cathe's...

I usually use the Oil of Olay moisterizer with SPF 30. I also occasionally use Mary Kay tinted moisterizer with SPF 20. Here is an explanation of why 45 does not really work better than 30. SPF is a multiple of how long it will take your skin to burn. I am really fair and live in the south and...

Allison - I have a king size bed to fit my 6'3" DH and I love all the room I have to wiggle around because I cannot get comfortable. I am eyeing the giant pregnancy pillows myself. Jen - The only thing that has been helping my back pain is yoga. And with just a little belly I cannot twist...

Wow. Look at all that happens when I miss a few days. Um... - Cee due Nov 18 - I had not heard of the nuchal and am not getting the quad screen or amnio. My dr did order a cystic fibrosis (sp?) blood screening which I had not heard of as a standard prenatal screening before. I am not a carrier...

I still have not figured out weight gain for pregnancy. I think I lost about 5 pounds this week because I can only eat very small meals. I thought I was eating more frequently to help make up, but I guess not. Now watch me overcompensate and gain 10 pounds in the next two weeks :p I second...

Wendy - Oh, I love that your daughter is so interested in your belly. So cute that she is determined he is growling. Melanie - I am still sleeping 14 hours a day at 14 weeks. I thought this was supposed to be better by now :( Jen - I am planning on registering after I find out the gender...

Here is a great article on running form: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267-268-8210-0,00.html For training, besides the distance that ReenaPP mentioned, I would recommend getting at least one good speed workout in per week. My personal favorite is a 200 meter sprint...

Hmm. Now that there is all this talk of infections I wonder if my body has been telling me something with my cranberry juice craving? :rolleyes:

Melanie - Congrats on the great ultrasound! I am just discovering how expensive having a baby can get. I just had a friend tell me about "The Business of Being Born" a movie available on instand play on Netflix. I do not know if I want to watch it, it will probably just make me mad about "the...

Hey everyone. DH and I are teaching Sunday School, so no choice but to get up and go to church. I miss when I could just choose to keep sleeping. Told just about everyone that I was pregnant yesterday, I spent the entire day on the phone, which is not one of my favorite activities. I squeezed...

Thank you for being so proactive Sandra! Autoimmune diseases run all through my family and are THE major motivation for me to keep my diet under control.

I have no experience with portable A/Cs, but have you called an A/C repairman to come check your existing unit? Our A/C broke down and I found out that whoever installed it had shorted the defrost board on the unit and then instead of replacing it, rewired the system to bypass the board. The...

Another vote for flylady.net. She has a book you can buy, but all of the information you need is free on the web.
