Big things for me to include are strong preferences for where/how/what people do controllable things. For instance, I canNOT stand to have anyone eating in the same room with me, particularly during labor. So no food/gum/etc. in my...

I've heard of places where you "pretty much need to register for preschool as soon as they're born," but high school? Wow! I had no idea. Where in AU are you, EA? I love the idea of lists... But have none for baby so far. I know...

They'll be Alva diapers. You can google those for more info. Very cheap, Asian made. I've had a couple and they're ok, but know what you're getting.

songbird, so glad you're coping even without meds! You're amazing, with or without!! Edelweiss, how scary to have those things hanging over you. My sister's first pregnancy was fraternal twins. Her water broke at 38+5, I believe,...

The Via is great! Pretty sure that's the SkipHop I have. It's packed, now, so hopefully I can find it and decide what bag to use. I've been using a bag a friend made me (Saffron Bags on etsy) just as a purse now, but it needs to be...

Some names come from words or phrases in other languages, so the "meaning" is more of a translation than anything. For instance, two of my children have Hebrew names with the syllable "El," which is one word for God. One translates or...

I really wish this one weren't such a surprise because I have a hard time responding über positively to all of the looks and "Ooh..."s when people find out. This is 5, not 15. My mom is one of 5 and it never seemed crazy! We have three...
