I'm also on the fence about whether to get a doula, specifically for labor. I did not have one the first time. I planned to birth in the birth center with a midwife. I was surprised when she was very hands off with my labor. In her mind,...

Okay, so after great debate, I went ahead and got a snoogle. The first night I woke up on top of the thing on my BACK! I have kept trying a couple of nights, and plan to try a bit longer. Last night, I woke up away from the thing...

Well, it's pretty pricey! It looks like $500 for the basic, plus $150 if you want the extra seat on it...

A recent 3-yr old party I went to went like this: 1. Arrive and decorate your name on a pre-cut out animal shape (these were later stapled to gift bags) 2. Bird house painting activity - each child got small birdhouse to paint 3....

Still going here with DS who is now almost 30 months; I'm currently almost 26 weeks. We are stable at morning, night, and nap nursings (nap only on weekends). Have been dry since about 14 weeks, and while I'm sure he'd prefer to get...

Thank goodness it's now with DF there with you and not earlier!!!!! Sounds like you have a great support network set up to help out with everything. Good luck staying calm & rested!!
