OK, so I'm not so familiar with that part of the city but I do know that West Seattle is its own little community and people seem to like it. Alki is great and so is Lincoln park. Also, houses there are like 50-100K less than they would...

With my first pregnancy, I saw a CNM when I miscarried at 7 weeks and she saw to it that I got the Rhogam.

Wow, candles, music, dinner, cleaned-up toys? Lucky guy! My poor dh gets home and I start ranting about how DD didn't take a nap that day. I do think that breadwinners feel a lot of pressure, especially in an economy with 9%...

anyone? Bueller?
