Does your dc do this? The other day ds1 (5 in august) started crying and whining about going to a restaurant, right after dinner. Next day there was a big drama because he suddenly wants to have a baby dolphin : When I tried to comfort...

Ds1 goes to preschool, ds2 to in-home daycare. Dh has to leave before 7 am, so morning drop-offs are mine at around 8.30. Whenever possible, I go by bike. We have a nanny/sitter who picks up ds1 at 3.30 pm, plays with him and cooks...

I try to run twice a week, usually once on a weekday night and a bit longer on the weekend. I'm also lucky that I can bike to work, so on the days that I don't need to go anywhere by car, I take the kiddos on the bike with me, drop ds1...

Just a thought for later on - if this baby happens to be late, and does indeed come late October, going back to work fulltime in December leaves you with only a month of leave (where you're going to be available as needed, so not...

So forgive me being paranoid, but I can't help it after 3 m/c. 4 out of 5 previous pregnancies (the 1st one I don't know) I had faint positives day 10-11 or so, very clear thick line by day 14. Now, first faint positive was day 13, day...

Any chance you can get a bigger bed? Or, if you already have a king size, put an additional mattress next to it, maybe all on the floor (will be safer too with the babies). If that's not possible, maybe a mattress/ toddler bed/ crib in...

I agree. It is very common for those first several cycles to be irregular and anovulatory - this happened to me after both kids. (you'll see in my sig that I did have m/c's after the first pregnancy, but in your case I don't think...

I agree that chiropractic care may be helpful, but as an MD I would consider also consulting a pediatrician. Don't mean to scare you, but in kids it is more likely than in adults that there is an underlying cause to the backpain. Like...

My oldest ds has Filipino, Dutch and American citizenship. DH and ds2 are dual Filipino/Dutch. I'm the only one in our family with only one measly passport You should check if the countries allow dual citizenship.

I wouldn't feel good about it, either, especially since you had already agreed on a rate. Is the current daycare situation not acceptable for another two months (since you mention giving up a slot)? On the other hand, if it's only for 2...
