  • I am wondering the same thing. I am looking at the baby brezza (sp?) Because it cooks and then immediately purees the food right after its finished cooking. I know it can save a good amount of money on baby food and since you make it yourself you kn…
  • Niners! Been a niners fan since I was little and I think it's awesome that they finally made the playoffs! I am a colts fan too (hubby is from IN).
  • eHarmony! :) we are perfect for each other and I love him to pieces. Been together 3 years, married for 2, and had our first LO last October :)
  • This may not be considered "weird," but it was definitely different! I was always hungry throughout my pregnancy, like bottomless pit status. The day before I went into labor, I had no appetite at all. I didn't feel sick or in any pain, ju…
  • I met my husband on eHarmony. Our relationship and marriage is near perfect. We don't fight at all! We have been together 3 years and married for 2. I am a strong advocate for eHarmony, but not just meeting someone on fbook or a chat room. Good luck…
  • I have a 2 month old and am able to get laundry done and dishes in the dishwasher...as far as real cleaning, not a chance! :) my hubby comes home and helps with dinner and taking care of her and any necessary chores I wasn't able to get to...he unde…
  • My daughter is 2 months and 4 days old now and she is eating between 4 and 5 oz of formula every 2-3 hours, with the exception of night time where its 4 oz every 5 to 6 hours. She was 8 lb 11oz at birth and now is 12lb 7.5oz and 22.5 inches long as …
  • My friend had to use ele care milk because her daughter had realllly bad reflux. What is your question, I can ask her for you :) congrats on bringing your baby home!
  • Hmm sounds like I have a bit til she gets her eye color. They are the prettiest blue so I hope they stay, but prolly not. :/ @caroline8_p your daughter has the same name as me, spelling and everything! When I read your post I thought you were referr…
  • I met my hubby in august 2008 through eHarmony (yeah, it really does work!) when he got stationed in California (air force). It was an instant connection I have never had with any other guy. It was so surreal! We started dating 12september2008, move…

  • My little girl who is 2 months tomorrow has croup too. She has had it for a week now. The doc said it could take 2 weeks or more for it to completely go away. Good luck!
  • Very controversial subject, similar to abortion. Both sides have valid points, but coming from a medical professional background, I agree with getting my children vaccinated. Taking a microbiology class and learning about all of these bugs and disea…
  • I heard that if they sleep too much during the day or don't sleep enough during the day they can have problems sleeping at night from either being overtired or not tired enough. Monitoring their sleep and keeping a sleep schedule can help with that.…
  • Thanks for all the tips everyone. She did amazing! No tears at all and slept from 830pm to 530am...minus the 2am feeding, in which she went right back to sleep. I put my pillowcase on her bed where her head lays and she slept great. The only time sh…
  • She is 7 weeks old today. I feel ferrible hearing her cry but i have to keep telling myself that she is safe, clean, and fed so there is no need for her to cry.
  • From a fellow ftm and one who has had mastitis twice, I found that putting pressure on the duct/squeezing it while pumping will get the duct to release. It does hurt, but you can gradually add more pressure to it as the pain eases and to get more mi…
  • Great idea! Thanks

  • @lae3 congrats and good luck! Our babies may share birthdays if you deliver today :)
  • She is here! After 23 hours of labor and 45 minutes of pushing, Olivia Marie was born on October 25th at 119am. 8lbs 11oz 21 inches long and perfect!
  • Thanks all. Broke my water at 8 and was dialated at a 4 at 10.
  • I am due tomorrow and been losing my plug the last few weeks. No blood, still at 2cm and 60% effaced. Just cramps, but nothing real painful and not a contraction in sight. I am expecting to have to be induced because my mom was with all 5 of us. It …
  • @lae3 you are in sac? We live on beale afb next to marysville/yuba city but I am going to be delivering in roseville :) didn't realize you were so close!
  • I got 3 days left, no induction date, and no progress too..cervix is still high, dialated to 2cm. No contraction in sight and baby is estimated at a healthy 8lbs. They should make a past edd forum :) labor dust to all of us bound to go late! :)
  • 39 weeks today, 2cm and 60% effaced as of last Wednesday. I have had increased mucous discharge over the past few weeks (possibly parts of my mucous plug) and stronger BH contractions, but nothing worth "celebrating" haha. I tried castor o…
  • DD is Oct 24th. Last week, I was 2cm dialated and 60% effaced. I tried one tbsp of castor oil in hot tea last night and felt nothing out of the ordinary...not even the diarrhea it is suppposed to cause. I almost feel better! Same with sex and pressu…
  • Good luck! Keep us updated :)
  • @pwchance I haven't been checked yet. My OB will start doing so this Wednesday and will check every week from here on out. It's just weird how all these changes happened overnight (literally) so it kind of caught me off guard. I am glad I am not the…
  • @pwchance I will be 37 weeks on Monday. Perhaps the start of dilation/effacement or what do you think?
  • I will be full term on Monday and my fears, like most first time mommas, is the pain. I am still undecided on an epidural, but I definitely want a vaginal birth. I am not nervous about having a c section if necessary, but we are moving out of state…
