  • 4 lbs 9 oz at 30 weeks 3 days.
  • Any of the pidgeon books by Mo Willems! Don't Let the Pidgeon Stay Up Late, The Pidgeon Wants a Puppy, Don't let the Pidgeon Drive the Bus... We are reading a chapter a night of Charlotte's Web to my 6 1/2 year old son and 5 year old daughter righ…
  • A post sharing their good news and congratulating these 2 men on becoming parents shouldn't have to be closed because some people never learned "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all." I am all for freedom of speech …
  • 10/21 with our 3rd (2nd boy). His name will be Alexander David and he was estimated to weigh about 4 lbs. 9 oz on Monday at 30 weeks 3 days! This is gonna be one big boy if I get that far (my 2 older kiddos were both born around 35 weeks).
  • See I just wanted to believe someone wouldn't say something like that (especially on a post celebrating 2 people becoming parents), that she was confused but I think I am wrong.
  • @twins_on_the_way, huh? What are you talking about?
  • I have a throw up phobia/anxiety too. It is so bad that I swear I need anti anxiety meds for it. I am a total germaphobe because I am afraid of getting sick. I didn't get sick with my first 2. With my son, I had that watery mouth feeling like 2 …
  • @mythica, I am sorry that your doctor didn't give you more information and actually seems a bit cold. I definitely wouldn't hesitate asking for a referral to a pediatric neurologist or neurosurgeon and they would hopefully be able to give you more …
  • I am so sorry you and your family are going through this. Did they give you any information as far as a diagnosis? Did they say she has hydrocephalus? Sorry if I am asking too many questions. My 6 1/2 year old son has hydrocephalus which is too m…
  • I am so happy for you guys! It is the best news I have heard in a while! I saw the picture on FB and you are such a beautiful family! Congratulations again!
  • Yeah if you keep it at a constant temp that is not too low during the day, the bills are going to be lower and more consistent. I mean the AC must be running for like an hour straight just to cool it down to a livable temp. You should call the ele…
  • We moved to Phoenix from San Diego in February and it is such a change for us. Oh and after that happened that night, I was ready to sleep in the car with my kids and up and leave my brand new house that we just bought and move back to san diego th…
  • @NewMomInSept, yeah he is fine. He was so freaked out and just going crazy after it happened. I called the 24 vet emergency hotline and they said he was probably fine because cats have all that fur to protect them. I am pretty sure he got stung o…
  • Oh, you might also want to ask your doctor about getting a referral to see a neonatalogist. They can give you more information on the effects that the drugs have had on your baby or might have after birth. They will probably be your best source fo…
  • I hate spiders with a passion. I got bit by a brown recluse a few years ago on my elbow and it was the worst pain next to giving birth! It got bad really quick and I ended up in the ER and them lancing the area open to drain it. They said if I had…
  • I don't have any advice but just wanted to say good luck to you. Try to be positive about where you are now being clean for 2 weeks and go from there. You are not a POS, you are trying to do better and get clean and that really matters.
  • @kara_lamek, that is crazy going from like 84 to 72? It must be constantly running. I feel like going from 82 to 80 is bad enough. Most people think 80 is crazy hot but it is totally relative to what it feels like outside. I walk down to the bus…
  • Our electric bill for July was almost $240 and we keep the house at between 80 and 82 degrees ALWAYS. We have 2 AC units for our home (about 2050 sq feet and single story) so it makes it easier to control the temp. One side of the house is the liv…
  • @kara_lamek, unfortunately our HOA doesn't allow above ground pools in your backyard. Ridiculous, how would they even know? We have a little kiddie pool or I take the kids out on the patio, turn on the hose and just stand there with the hose spray…
  • It is kind of funny, I see a pool on tv or in pictures and I get all emotional and start crying (ah the joys of pregnancy!). I WANT A DAMN POOL!
  • Suprisingly no, my grass isn't dead yet LOL. It is really long though because my husband hasn't mowed it yet. When they put the sod in the set the sprinklers for 6 minutes 3 times a day, every day and it was always flooded out there, it was like a …
  • It is a very cool (for us) 102 here in Phoenix. It has been getting suprisingly humid at times as well. It has been over 100 here for like over 2 months. The pavement keeps the city so freaking hot all the time. At night it rarely gets below 90-…
  • I am due Oct. 21 with our 3rd (2nd boy). I have a ton of clothes, new swing (the one we had for the previous 2 just died when my daughter was a baby, new stroller, blankets, 2 blanket swaddlers. I also have the cosleeper which is in great shape fr…
  • here is some info on how to store your pumped breast milk from pediatrics.about.com which were reproduced from the department of education: Express breast milk into a clean container. Refrigerate or freeze it right away. Breast milk will keep up to…
  • sorry @jazzi89, I always forget to tag
  • This is what americanpregnancy.org says about nst's: The primary goal of the test is to measure the heart rate of the fetus in response to its own movements. Healthy babies will respond with an increased heart rate during times of movement, and the…
  • Oh and if you are ever concerned about anything or have questions, don't let them dismiss you like that. Try to stand up and say hey I am worried or I want to know this etc. Sometimes they just don't have the best bedside manner and don't realize …
  • I will have to go in for bi weekly nst's once I get to 32 weeks (I am 29 now). Unresponsive is in regards to her heart rate. They want to see some changes in the heart rate while you are being monitored which is why they tried to "wake her up…
  • @mummylady83, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet baby Benji. My son only has 1 kidney but it functions normally. I also have diabetes (type 1) but I was in pretty good control when I got pregnant with him. My son was also born with a…
  • I met my husband almost 8 years ago when I was married to a different man (I just call him the troll). I was separated from the troll and I started talking to my husband online. We talked for about 3 months before we met. We were inseparable from…
