    been a long time......

    Thank you guys for some good feedback... I'm being overly sensitive and I feel as if every comment is an attack on my parenting. I'm very appreciative and just wish I was having a happy pregnancy where I was looking forward to having a kid. We both were very excited when I got pregnant...but...

    been a long time......

    Thanks for your answers. Let me again clarify stuff. My stepson is a teenager and I am not overly affectionate with him. We talk about almost everything with his when it comes to having a baby. He has laid his thoughts and expectations out as well as we ask him on a regular basis how it's...

Before getting pregnant,just working out or even taking a walk helped...I quit smoking a bit over a year ago and I think I walked off 20 of the 30 lbs I gained from quitting...I also took up jogging and had achieved about 65% of my training goal...

    Thanks for your insight :-D A few things to clarify what is shared between my husband and his son. He has gone into detail about what is discussed at our prenatal classes. When you have a 12 year old tell you about conversations that were shared at a private class where 12 couples talk about...

    Canada vs. America...

    another big difference, and don't know if it was already posted or not...Canada lets you DO more things as a country in whole compared to the US...we CAN have abortions, we DON'T let religion dictate our lives (in parliament) you can see a doctor if you are sick (most cases, for free) and we...

    Canada vs. America...

    quickly going over the difference between us and you...and no offense, but Canada is the mecca of multi culturalism...to the point where we don't even have a real identity anymore... Here is an article from a Toronto newspaper and I strongly agree: Here's a point well made.. THE RIGHT TO LEAVE...

    IUD firmly in place after almost 2 years...big boobs, hippy (curvaceous LOL), so-so fluctuation in my libido (down to 2 times a week) dryness sometimes, but I know that an IUD isn't ideal but for now, I have tried other birth control and those were super harsh on my system...it won't be forever...

    Sexuality...

    Being gay or bisexual or transgendered...well, that's all good!!! As long as it is a consentual decision...why not?

    Do Your Kids Have Behavior Problems, Too?...

    I might sound redundant...but why bring religion into your child's behavior problem? I have a certain view on raising children and certain ideas, and if you'll allow a few moments to deviate from the religion reference, I will gladly share my pompous views LOL A new born human child or toddler...
