I'm in the midst of sorting out my own registry for our 1st, so I'm ignorant on that front. But I lived in UK for years. There is less crossover in kids books than you'd think. So, American kids authors are less likely to be available,...

I'm now at 24 weeks w my first and 33 yrs old. Between 1st growth ultrasound (aprox 19w )and follow up 4 weeks later, baby's growth went from 40th percentile to 15th. This is still normal, but I am worried. My thyroid meds were also...

QOTD: Gymnast was a far fetched dream for a few years. I was interested in being a lawyer, and was pre-med for while. Shame I have no ability to craft an argument and then had no interest in organic chem. I'm a fashion designer now,...

I think the fact that I have 3 drs makes it all a bit much. My OB is awesome; her resident is lovely, but unnessary if you ask me. OB is knowledgeable, calm, and clear. I find how she explains and puts things into perspective the most...

I'm taking today and tomorrow off from work! So, I woke up late, made DH and me pancakes w walnuts and bananas. In theory, we are taking advantage of it being a Thursday so baby stores won't be so ghastly busy to visit to check out car...

I have had horrible neck/ shoulder aches from day 1. Hot water bottles on it seem to help, a bit.

Not sure if this is nesting or just problem solving. We have much of my husband's clothing in plastic bins. I saw a very handsome dresser at local antiques shop yesterday. It should accommodate most of DH's clothing, and be a piece that...
