I agree. This is kindof a no negotiation issue. That is abhorrent that he makes fun of your DS! True, you probably want to start out delicate, let him feel he's been "heard", and that you've expressed your opinion. But, when it...

Wow, I'm also surprised that almost all of these started at night! For me, first contraction was Sunday around 1 pm. Labor was fast, but then stalled, and didn't deliver until 7 am the next morning.

Wow, you ladies are very inspiring and talented! I'm not even sure what to do about baby. If I learned one thing with DS1, it was that you can't plan. I planned on the co-sleeper, but then hated it (too much of a pain to get in and...
