Hi!!!! I still pop in once in a blue moon. My little man is doing great---he does the army crawl all over the house, but prefers to walk with us holding his hands. Can't believe how ready he is to do things. His 3 sisters just adore him. After starting solids it looks like he has some pretty severe food allergies :( It appears he can't handle the protein o...

oh i never said i don't appreciate their education, i was simply pointing out that college degrees does not make one better than the others around them. what about the man who fixes your car, or the one who cuts grass, the ones who pick up your garbage or unclogs your toilet...are they lesser than the engineer or the architect or pediatrician because of their lack of education? or are they snub ...

And that is what matters. We only have "extra" things because we were together for nearly 4 years w/o children. [/quote]
:) yep, we were the same way...but high tech 9 years ago is dinosaurs compared to today, LOL

i've been following this post and have enjoyed and appreciated both sides. I just gave birth to our 4th...are we done? I don't know. I'm sure that we'll figure it out along the way...I definitely wouldn't mind more. I'm a SAHM with a degree in Sociology and minor in Psychology. My DH has a 2 year tech school degree. I'm all for college, to an extent. I see more and more people who come out ...

sorry this is a bit late...i've been busy with my new LO
i've actually been making our own CD's so I'll tell you what I know:
inserts you need an absorbant material such as terrycloth, flannel, microfiber (you can get the microfiber towels from walmart's automotive section but they CAN NOT touch baby's skin...they will dry it out), bamboo fleece or other bamboo materials, hemp, etc.

he's 1 week old now, 9lbs 1oz and 21 inches long,. he's such a good good baby, I love him to pieces. Labor was great, didn't deliver in the car this time! yay!! we did it natural again, labored at the hospital for about 6 hours and when he decided to come he made a quick entry! the nurse had just checked me and i was a tight 8 according to her, after that my body took over and just started pu...

2cm length is stating how long the cervix is...shortening of the cervix is effacement. 2-3 spines is location of baby in birth canal. in the US i think they call it stations and use a range of something like -4 to +4 (the neg #'s = higher the baby, positive #'s baby is lower/emerging)

yep, add me to the list!!! baby #4 is really throwing me for a loop! DH and I DTD last night to see if we could get things moving along. I had contractions 5 min apart from 12am to 5am just for them to stop and not come back [:S] same way they did when i was at the hospital last weekend. at this point i'm not sure i'd recognize labor if it did show up.

everything is going good! i DO remember you :) I went into labor on christmas day but didn't dilate far enough to continue to force it so they sent me home. I'm 38 weeks today so I feel a bit better about it if he is born now. pregnancy has been good, felt great and no problems, just ready to get it over with now. I'm so glad you got your little boy!!! that is g...

i'm there. i don't think it is the fact that we don't appreciate the process or the wonder of the life inside us, but for you this is your third (right?) this is my 4th...the novelty of it all has worn off, with a greater # of children at home there is a greater amount of work to be done and attention to be given out by us as moms. it is exhausting and frustrating all at the same time....
