Thanks for the responses! I'm like Allison--just been feeling done lately. We have been slowly trying to reduce how much she's nursing. We've dropped the bedtime one most nights and it doesn't seem to bother her--if she asks for it, I...

This was actually one of my favorite things about the first trimester last time around. It hasn't hit me very hard yet this time, but I LOVED having a great excuse to just nap and lie around. Of course, I was in grad school at the...

We had a two-bedroom apartment. If you're anything like me, you'll use the guest bedroom more than a nursery. I found I couldn't sleep in close proximity to the baby--every time she moved or made a noise it woke me up. Not every night,...

I may be in the minority in that I was basically happy with my OB-assisted hospital birth last time. I had a great doula who helped me stay at home as long as possible, although when we got to the hospital I was only 5 cm dilated so I...

Hi there, I just found out I'm pregnant with #2. DD, 2, is still nursing. I've heard milk dries up or changes taste with pregnancy, often causing the older child to wean him/herself. If this happened to you, how far along were...

I'm a writer and editor. I completed my MFA in fiction writing after DD was born. Finishing my thesis with an infant was tough, so I've been trying to slowly give those stories the attention they deserve in revision. Also working on...

This was our second month trying, which was also the case with DD and with the molar pregnancy I had before her (well, that had been about six months, but my second month charting, when I realized I ovulate late and we'd previously...
