I'm so excited about finally being able to join & post. I got the app back in March when I was pregnant & have been following along with a lot of your stories. Your advice was so helpful through out my pregnancy even if you guys didn't know it. I'm a ftm, had my son 10/12/11 on my best friends birthday :-) I can't wait to be able to ask my questions now instead of waiting hoping someone asks what I'm thinking lol.

  • I'm in CA as well and I checked the requirements online, for a family of 4 you have to make less than $2500 a month so I think we will qualify. I just wasn't sure if I could get disability and food stamps at the same time. With my husbands income it…
  • You're so tiny and cute it borders on ridiculous lol. I'm just jealous because you look really good :)
  • Ya somebody should pay for all those children...HER!!!!! And her multiple baby daddies! SMH people like that disgust me.
  • That's how my first was. I could feel him moving but no one else could until I got really big. I also had a scare at the Drs where they couldn't find the heartbeat with the Doppler so they had to get the ultrasound machine to find him.
  • My son just turned 2 and shows some signs of readiness but then he isn't totally there yet. I'm in no hurry either with a new baby coming I'll wait until he's 100% ready.
  • @jules I don't know if any one thing worked or if it was a combo of all the stuff I tried. The caster oil was nasty and gave me diarrhea :( but I didn't poop myself during labor so maybe it wasn't all bad lol. @OhHowWonderful I feel like time has st…
  • My name is Francesca Marie after my moms two grandmothers. My son is Dominic, because I like the name, and his middle name is Michael after my dad and hubby. This baby will be Anthony, once again because I like the name, and his middle name will be …
  • @jules you're brave hosting thanksgiving so close to your dd :) I hope it works out for you then. Basically my routine was every old wives tale you've ever heard of. I walked miles daily, did squats, lifted heavy stuff. I ate greasy food, spicy food…
  • Congrats!!!! Glad to hear he's doing ok and hopefully you're recovering well.
  • @jules I had my first at 38wks 2days. I really don't want to go into Dec only because I have soooo much going on that month. I know too early would be bad so that's why I'll start my routine at 36wks and hope it kicks in at 37. Nov 27th was my grand…
  • @jules my dd was moved to Dec 5th but I'm thinking more thanksgiving is when this is gonna happen. At 36wks I'll start pumping like crazy, doing squats, heavy lifting and of course lots of sex lol. @nancyb I feel like every time he moves my stomach …
  • It has to be just cranberry juice and it can't be like ocean spray because that has too much sugar. It has to be like natural, plain cranberry :( that's why I like the soft chews.
  • I would still go see a dr like a med7 or urgent care because with out antibiotics uti's can get really serious really fast. Especially if it goes to your kidneys! You can get cranberry soft chews at wal mart in the vitamin section if you don't want …
  • My inlaws bought my son a nabi junior for his 2nd birthday. It's really kid friendly and my son loves it.
  • Oh that sucks so bad. I'm so sorry both your kids have it. HF&M is no fun at all. My son really liked cold stuff like ice pops and cold pediasure. Maybe your baby would like cold formula or frozen formula ice cubes?
  • I have been showering with my 2yo lately because its easier for me to wash him that way, I'm 8mo preggo and can't lean over the tub. I think it's easier to wash with him now than when he was tiny just because you can't put them down when they're lit…
  • My son had it and your description and pics look and sound like what we went through. It's a virus so there really isn't any meds you can give her other that Tylenol to keep her comfy. We got pediasure for my son because he had the blisters in his m…
  • I was just arguing with my doctor about this yesterday. I was borderline with my first who was a healthy 8lb 1oz baby and is now a healthy 2yr old. This time I failed the 1hr test (by 10 points) and they want me to take the 3hr test. I refused to be…
  • You can mix it up too. Yesterday I had a can of soup, pretzels and hummus, 100cal brownie bites, a bag of carrots and celery and some strawberries.
  • I make up baggies of snacks, fruits and veggies for the week that way we can just grab and go. I do apple slices, grapes or other easy pack fruits. Celery, carrots and sugar snap peas keep well. You can get those jiff to go peanut butter cups. Wal m…
  • I feel like it was less than a week but my hospital did it before we were discharged when he was like a day old. My husband went with him and said he slept through the whole thing.
  • I just covered it in Vaseline every time and it healed super fast.
  • What's the difference between a bottle of wine and a head band? Well cost for one. Some wines can be very expensive. Even if they are sisters it's never ok to steal someone's property. Taking a $100 bottle of wine is no different than taking $100 ou…
  • I'd be upset too because its the point that she took something, without asking, and then hide it. There's a difference between a head band and a bottle of wine. Especially if it was an expensive bottle. Stealing is never ok and her taking it because…
  • Congrats!!! :)
  • @jules my escape is an SUV but its not a big one. We went on vacation this summer and with all our bags, the cooler, the pack and play and everything else there was no room for our single jogger so we had to strap it to the roof.
  • @jules it is kind of a bummer that it takes up the whole back but at least it fits. The back wheels come off pretty easy, the front wheel does come off but requires a little more effort. My hubby and I were just talking about the space situation thi…
  • @jules yes I got the jogger and I like it a lot. I think it will work great for my kids. It is big! It fits through my front door but its a squeeze. It does fit in the back of my ford escape but then there's no room for anything else. It does not fi…
  • I was so sick the beginning of this pregnancy I ended up in the ER for dehydration. I took zofran and it helped tremendously. It sucks being that sick I hope you get some relief soon.
