s s s I'm so so very sorry for what you're going through. Death is only sad for those left behind - that's why I'm terrified of losing my parents. I have absolutely no advice for you - except maybe hug your baby a little tighter,...

Another note - probiotics have seemed to help a little bit. I went to New Seasons, and a woman helped me out, and got me a bottle of All-Flora (75 pills for $22.95 ) So they're capsules with powder inside, I break one open, empty half...

I'll throw my experience in here - DD started this stuff about 1 1/2 weeks ago, after PERFECT behavior up til then. At night, nurse til she's just pissed, then scream and be generally unhappy for about 3 hours til she passes out from...

So sorry about all this, Mama. FWIW, it sounds like normal regression due to baby. Unfortunately, I don't have much advice - my 4 1/2 year old loves his new baby sister, but has started pooping his pants after 1 year of totally...

Just a tip - solarveil is fabulously lightweight and all, but it's scratchy. I've heard it softens up with repeated washings, but mine isn't there yet. I have to put a burp rag or something between DD's face and the solarveil. Just my...

Quick vote for a wrap, there's GypsyMama for gauze, Moby, etc. for stretch, or just get yourself 5 yards of fabric - gauze or cotton knit would be good for this time of year - about 22"-35" wide and do the front wrap cross...

Just a quick note: MaraJade Arden was born June 30 at 5:16 am. 6 lbs., 0 oz., 18 1/2 inches long. Went to hospital on the 29th at about 5:00 pm, was dilated to 5 and 90% effaced, having pretty painful contrax with walking, midwife...

Well, I'm feeling a little testy, but I thought I'd post anyway. I've been off bedrest and meds for about a week now, contractions have never stopped, I have between 8 and 13 every hour. MW appt. yesterday showed I'm 2-3 cm dilated...
