In the last week I've noticed pain and stiffness in my hands - could this be due to swelling? They haven't swollen *that* much, not like my feet, which are gigantic at all times now, but that's the only reason I can think of. It's much worse in the morning and tends to subside by...

Ok having been given a precious moments bouncer which did not play music and did not vibrate despite changing the batteries we put it aside and only used the aquarium bouncer we had also been given. The aquarium bouncer of course is a big hit. We found out DS does not need the toy attachment or the...

What do you all do with your sippy cups? I just don't have a place for them, and they're always overflowing in my dish drainer and looking like a big mess! There's no rearranging that can be done, and the only idea I can come up with is to put a covered bin under the sink (the only space...

Hi everyone, I am a keen lurker here and post the occasional post. I love reading everyones stories and although im not really after any advice or info, just wanted to know if anyone else have ever felt the same as i do at the moment. I am 23 and have a beautiful happy almost 3 year old, she is...

My brother just emailed me this, anyone have an answer I can offer him? Thanks! - Jen I realize you don't use formula, but maybe some mommy chat room or something might have an answer. It says on the packaging that you can store a bottle 2 days, but once the

I hope you get some good fireworks! (that's always my favourite part, even though I've been inundated with fireworks shows where we currently live)

Sorry I haven't came here too often lately, regardless of being on bedrest, between all this medical stuff I'm so busy! Anyway, I had my 33 week appointment yesterday (I'm going weekly now.) The boys scored perfect 8/8 on their Biophysical Profiles. My cervical length is 1.5cm, it's also...

My family is in upheaval! When DH comes home from work I like to hand the baby off to him for a while so I can take a shower, relax, wash bottles, etc. The only problem is that Quinn cries and screams when he's with his daddy. He's tried white noise, stimulus, no stimulus, cuddling, walking,...

I am just curious, has anyone ever had a natural childbirth in a hospital setting where they did not try to make you have an IV or hep-lock "just in case"? -kim

We're doing the 16 week blood work in a few weeks, and my OB warned me not to be concerned if one of the three triple screen tests came out positive,because even when it does, most of the time nothing is wrong. My husband grew up with a severely mentally retarded little brother, and even though we...

Ooh, Sophie. I just remembered something I wanted to mention in your thread where you asked have I forgotten anything.... Don't forget to just enjoy being pregnant, and feeling the baby move and carrying the baby inside etc. Esp. since this is your planned last one. I was VERY surprised at how...

I took a home pregnancy test today and yea!, I am pregnant for the first time. My concern is I just got home from a 2 week vacation in California in which alcohol was consumed. I know not to drink now, but have already started worrying if I've caused any problems because of drinking around the...

Does anyone know where to find this bottle nipple? http://home.comcast.net/~toypup/P6290002.JPG My dcp picked it up in Tijuana, Mexico. It has "evenflo" stamped to the bottom of the rim. I looked on their website, but I don't see it there. I emailed them, but I'm still awaiting a reply. ...

I had my 34 week appointment last Friday. Even though I have been laying on an ironing board and with my hips up in the air, plus various other positions/contortions.. the baby still hasn't decided to move. : ( She seems very content on where she is. I was telling DH the other day that I thought...

I know it is still early, my EDD is July 1st and the U/S due date was July 4th. I've been walking, drinking water, keeping busy, cleaning the house (it looks unbelievable!), etc. This has been the longest month of my life. I have another appointment on Friday. This is the third appointment...

I've been pumping for 3 mos now. During that whole time, my left breast would *always* put out alot more milk than the right. Recently, it's been in reverse. The right puts out more than the left. Kind of strange. Anyone ever experience this?
