Is anyone experiencing severe back pain in the mid back (like about the bra hook area)? I can't figure this one out. Low back pain I kinda expect to a certain extent but this one is new. Any ideas of why or things I can do? I do...

I'm still feeling great. This pregnancy is a breeze compared to the last. I started to have some sciatica-type symptoms and got a yoga for pregnancy tape that is helping a lot with the pain. I stay active and that helps too as long as...

I don't think our school system adequately supports the number of kids it holds and they end up being labeled too much. My son is very "spirited" and active to the extreme. But our ped says he is normal, just on the active...

DS was breech until past 37 weeks, at which point we had an external version to turn him so I could deliver with my midwife (it worked). He spent the last trimester basically with his head jammed into my left ribcage (ouch). And I...

I'm another in the same boat, but my nearly 3-year-old isn't easy. He is a "spirited" child who takes lots of time and energy and I feel like I won't have enough to go around or the new baby will be short changed. And I'm...

We haven't officially started yet (DS is 3) but my ILs are supportive. They have known we plan to homeschool for quite a while. MIL actually had considered homeschooling DH but it just wasn't as common in her area back in the day and...

A little under 10 pounds at 23 weeks. A little more than I would like given I started out overweight, but I'm trying. DH is kind and tells me it is mostly in my breasts and not to worry. The cookies just call to me this last month...

We didn't have these types of issues (our own separate set though!) so I can't help much on advice in that but I did want to offer a book suggestion, The No Cry Sleep Solution, by Pantley, as you mentioned CIO is not for you. I found...

I agree with Maureen. Our son is nearly 3 and these stages come and go (aggression). When he was about 1-2 though, we got him books like "Teeth are not for Biting," "Feet are not for kicking," and that series. ...

I loved mine! We used it for at least 6 months during breastfeeding, until he was bigger. I'm also smaller chested so otherwise had to hold him up. After I no longer used it for nursing he loved to sit supported in it so he could...
