DD loves the Moby style wrap we have (homemade) and will sleep in it for a couple of hours. Its actually the one thing that is guaranteed to work when she won't sleep any other way. I've always used it with legs hanging out with all my...

Megan grunts a lot too. Totally normal for a newborn. She also has reflux issues, so we know its just that her digestive system is still maturing. We had this with DS2 and he outgrew it by 12 weeks. Megan is 5 week today, so only...

I'm already down 12lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I started my pregnancy about 70lbs overweight, so I've still got a LOT of fluff to loose. I started eating a low glycemic diet at 18 weeks gestation and ended up only gaining...

We had our unassisted home water birth last Thursday. I actually started laboring on Tuesday about lunch time with some back labor, then a few contractions later in the afternoon. It fizzled out by bedtime, but then I woke up about...

I did the EPO last time and still went to 41 weeks, even with all that prodromal labor. I'm not taking it this time. I got so tired of all the different supplements by the end last time, so I'm keeping it to a minimum this go...
