Oh no, I wish I knew all of this when I had DD!  I had a 2nd degree tear which my MW stitched up (I call BS on the post labor birth high - I felt every single stitch and that was after a topical anesthetic!). According to DH I had...

Awesome!!  Now if only I could carry this around with me and whip it out everytime vaccines come up in conversation which for some reason has been a lot lately for me!  Lookingup - your fam really excludes you because of your...

How much time have you spent out at new places with him and just let him take it all in?  I'm not much of an outgoing person, so if not for my FIL watching DD all day, I doubt she'd be anywhere near as outgoing as she is. ...

We do the oscillococcinum too.  DD was only vaxed til 4mos and we stopped - had one cold at 4mos (DH looked like he was on his death bed for 2wks, but DD and I kicked it in less than a wk), and we both started to sniffle last...

Yes, HUGE difference between violence and playing a game.  I am an avid softball player, have been playing for over 20yrs.  While not a 'contact sport', in my many years playing 2nd base I can't tell you how many injuries...

DD was 20lbs before she was 9mos - so I did carry her quite a bit since walking wasn't an option yet.  13mo and 24lbs now and I've found that for me, I can have the sling on MY right shoulder more than on my left - no matter...
