With my last 2 pregnancies, I lost globs and globs of yellow mucous for a couple of weeks. The closer to my "due date", the more mucous I'd get - globs every time I wiped vs. a few times/day. But once it turned bloody, my...

I had 2 boys and NO belly hair during either of those pregnancies. This time, I'm having a girl and tons of belly hair. I hope it goes away after delivery.

My 4 y/o would like his 16 month old brother to sleep with him at night. I would LOVE it, myself. Is this too early for my 16 month old?? Anyone have children that sleep together? If so, how do you (they) like it? My 4 y/o likes...
