Well, we had our second sonogram today, and it's official again, we're prego! I am due on March 12 (who won the bet?) and so far so good. I have been more exhausted than ever and I'm hoping that passes, but my angel boy Laszlo has been favoring me with 2-3 hour naps once a day, so I'm...

Well, 6 months was my original "long-term" bfing goal. We achieved that this past Monday, with no desire on her part or mine to stop anytime soon. Personally, I never thought I'd make it this long, but the thought of not nursing her, even someday, breaks my heart at the moment. Had the 6 month...

We've started to say prayers outloud at bedtime. I asked DS (2.5 yrs) what he wanted to thank God for, and he looked at the ceiling and said, "The fan." I said for him to think of something a little better and he said, "The t.v." I said to think one more time about something he really was...

Greetings, We have a 2 month-old baby who thrives on BF despite a recent cleft lip repair. However, my wife started to have pain in her right breast starting Friday night. The pain is dull and located toward the middle point between the breasts and near the colar bone area. The pain is dull and not...

I'm beginning to think that this was a crazy idea. We're leaving on Wednesday for a 10+ hour road trip with our 4 week old, exclusively breastfed son. He only sleeps for a maximum of 2 - 2.5 hours at a time, so this could make for a very long trip! We're going to break the drive up over two days,...

While out enjoying ourselves today, P was playing near a woman with a 5 week old in a stroller. I asked all the nice questions, then asked if she was still nursing. She said no, gave up at 2.5 weeks, cause "he's a hungry baby". Sigh. I made sure to say that P was still nursing at 19 months, and...

I know this topic has come up before--I've even read some of the old threads on Google. But I've been watching (too many) syndicated reruns lately, and I've been noticing some things I don't think were discussed the last few times this came up. . . . *Roseanne* I know people have discussed the...

Hi everyone! I used to post in here when I was breastfeeding my first daughter (Hope). I quit posting but would frequent back and read. Anyway, I breastfed Hope for 1 year and 2 weeks. I had to stop because my doctor changed my antidepressants while I was pregnant with my second...

I think it's official that my 26 month old is now completely weaned. :( I am really sad, but also happy. I know you can all relate to that. I am sad that it's over but so happy that it happened. I still can't believe we made it so long!! Yippee for us!!!!!! Thank you all so much for your...

Is there an FAQ for acronyms in this group? I've been on usenet for many years, but never run into such a large number of acronyms anywhere else. DD, DH, etc.. - I can't keep up! :-)

My small is in real nappies and I'd like to try to save some money by making the wraps. Has anyone in the UK managed to find suitable fabric, and if so where. teapot
