I feel like we're spending money like water, but it's all stuff that we've been putting off for too long. Biggest ticket item is a new furnace since we're birthing at home and our super old one won't even give us a bathtub full of...

Nothing like waiting til the last minute...I just bought a baby name book yesterday as I can't find our old one that has all our notes in it. I've been looking for it for months now and with 7 weeks to go finally gave up. Last night I...

It's interesting how many permutations of the test there are. I decide whether to do it, but my mw gave me a kit to check my blood sugar before and after a high carb/sugar breakfast (pancakes and syrup). It's not a situation where I'd...

Hi there I'm trying to get ready for #2, and the one thing I couldn't stand last time was the lack of pants that fit ds's fairly hefty CPF bottom. I'm looking to do this on the cheap, especially in the early sizes and was thinking...

Thanks, lpmeadows (ages later) I have to admit that the circle ends freaked me out (since I'm having trouble with right angles these days). But I did finally finish my bolsters TONIGHT and used a pattern I found online at...
