Thanks for the reply, cybele!

My family will be moving soon - about 6 hours away. We have two girls - a 2 year old and a 4 month old. Any tips on how best to do this as easy as possible. I think we will have at least one grandmother with us to help out some. We will be moving close by her as well. Any tips from anyone who...

I have a bump on my leg that I'm afraid is turning into/already is a staph infection. My wife has a c-section schedule for next Thursday. This will be a "deal breaker" huh? They won't let me in the OR or around my newborn baby will they? I'm freaking out here.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check out some of those ideas!

I feel like my poor daughter is eating the same things over and over. She has not been diagnosed as lactose intolerant or with any sort of allergy or anything - we just know that she is extremely fussy when eating cheese or drinking regular milk and it totally messes up her sleep. So, we think...

Thanks for the responses! The canned ravioli stuff - I was just thinking more out of convenience, but I worry about the additives/preservatives. That came to mind just because we also had one of the gerber meals with ravioli and another with stars/pasta. I know we can probably just make it...

Thanks for the reply! And you do make a good point that, as adults, we tend to eat the same things over and over. One question about the chicken - how would you cook it? We've tried giving her some that we have just cooked in a skillet with a little oil or butter. We usually have the...

I have a 1 year old - and am looking for other ideas for things to feed her. I know she can start on milk now, and we'll talk with our pediatrician next week and what to do with the formula/milk transition. She eats really well - I just feel like we give her the same things all the time...

Well, this one was a bit of a surprise! ha! Not to mention, we had to have help to have the first one! To answer your first question - she used to get up like clockwork. We have never specifically woken her up at a certain time in the morning. She usually did wake up within 30 minutes of...

Well, I mean, I do feel like we share the load to some extent. She works outside the home and I stay at home with our daughter. I'm in school currently and am the youth minister at a church. So, I know she is tired when she gets home from work. And we had it all figured out/had a system till...

I need some help, advice - maybe just some time to vent! I've posted here before about sleep issues with my lo - she is about to turn one next week. Just to give you a quick run down on her status right now - she doesn't sleep through the night, wakes 1-2 times a night, can't put herself back...

Thanks for the replies - yeah, I think we'll just fall into a routine with it I'm sure. And I do look forward to them being close. My wife and I were totally shocked with this pregnancy though - my wife and I have dealt with fertility issues and she's never gotten pregnant without the use of...

My wife and I just found out she's pregnant and we're expecting our second child! Our daughter will turn 1 next month, and when the new LO arrives she'll be like 19 months old! Right now I'm a stay at home dad - one I was good with, I'm beginning to freak out a little with the thoughts of...

Well I guess that's what I'm saying. We are controlling what she is eating right now and I'd rather her not be eating marshmallows and cinamon rolls! Ha! I know all too well about carbs etc., so I know that she is probably getting more than I think but things like that I can control. Once she is...

Well, I agree with you for the most part and do appreciate the points you've made. You've made me rethink this a little more. I guess I've bought into the idea that she'll develop a sweet tooth and not want to eat other things. She is doing really well right now eating vegetables and she does...
