Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out. This may get a little TMI, so be forewarned--don't read on if you're squeamish. I missed three periods (due to major stress, as far as I know--I took about 6 hpts and they were all negative; I...

DH works on the north slope, so while I am a SAHM it often feels like I'm a single mom as well. DS1 is in part-time K at the local public school and DS2 is just turned 3. After I get DS1 off to school, I do the usual...a little...

It's above 0 here...Finally!! It's been -40 for the past two weeks. It was -50 for a week while I was still in VT. Never more grateful for wind and wet snow dumping everywhere! It's snowed a bit here recently but not enough to really...
