How did you do your childbirth? Did you earn your "mommy badge" (A child with no pain medication)? With my son I wanted my mommy badge. They ended up giving me morphine because my labor stalled due to stress. BTW: Morphine, not...

epenner I definately think that when my house is clean I feel more at ease. I was a neat freak until I had two kids, and that kind of over rules the my cleaning rules. Sometimes I just don't have time to clean anymore, and it seems that it makes me a bit more edgy.

I used to use Desitin or A&D ointment. I've found a really good one lately, and I've been using it. It's called Burt's Bees Baby Bee diaper ointment. My youngest had a rather horrible diaper rash and the Destitin or A&D wasn't...

epenner I have used everything on the market I think, and I'm not impressed with many. My fav is Aquaphor, but I think plain old vaseline works the best.

epenner If cigarrette companies didn't put warning labels on their packs they wouldn't be in business. so many people would file lawsuit on something they already knew was not good for you.

epenner I'm not sure about where you live but here in NY it is required for anyone who gets married to have a DNA test in order to get a marriage license. I wasn't aware that it was different in other states.

epenner I can agree that she can play on the same topic and debates too mcuh, but I love her. She is outspoken and doesn't give a damn if anyone agrees with her or not. She knows she is right.
