farmgirlok I was sick until about 24 weeks with my last one. I threw up all day every day. My doc finally gave me a prescription for Aciphex, and it helped pretty good as long as I could keep it down! I tried the cracker thing and it never helped me. I drank a lot of...

farmgirlok Yes, I have to plan or I never get a chance to think about it until it's suppertime and I'm like "Oh Crap! What are we going to have?" I have actually started making a menu for 2 weeks. It makes it easier to prepare a nice complete meal. It also makes grocery...

Alexi is sucking on her hand

djbizmonkey34 @djbizmonkey34 (633) • United States 18 Jun 07

My wittle sweet cheeks Alexi is sucking on her fist and her fingers which causes her to drool a lot more. She's only two months old. She can't possibly be teething already can she? She doesn't like pacifiers either. She spits them...

farmgirlok My little 3 month old daughter sucks on her thumb too. I think she does it mostly to comfort herself. She does it mostly when it is nap time or bed time. I check on her at night and catch her doing it then too but I reckon she is trying to get herself back to...

farmgirlok Being a mom is the hardest job, but it is also the most rewarding job. I am a stay at home mom and I do go crazy a lot, but when my baby smiles at me or my 4 year old comes and gives me a hug and kiss, all my sorrows and stress just melt away. Moms are a...

New baby....New things?

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 24 Jun 07

When you had your first child, did you have to go out and buy the crib, changing table and everything else that you needed? Or did someone help you purchase some of those big ticket items? When I had my 1st child 20 years ago,...

farmgirlok My sister-in-law let me borrow the crib that my niece used. For the changing table, we used the dresser that my husband used as a child. It's one of those short, wide ones. We just bought a changing pad to put over it. it actually worked great. Now my daughter...

farmgirlok OMG! I think our MIL's are twins! Mine does that exact same thing. It makes me absolutely nutty! If people don't do what she wants, she does this guilt trip thing and nags and gripes until people finally can't stand it any more and cave to her. But she is...

Should dogs and cats be allowed indoors?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 24 Jun 07

I keep 3 cats, 2 of them in the house. I have no problem with anyone keeping animals in their house, once the house and the animals are kept clean. In fact I cannot see the point in having a pet and making it stay outside as some...

farmgirlok I do not have any pets, but if i did, they would not come indoors. I personally do not have a problem with people having pets in the house, but I am allergic. I think that it is ok to have pets in the house if you or your children are not allergic to them, as...

farmgirlok It kind of depends on the pie. If it is a fruit pie, I tend to like it warm with vanilla ice cream on top. For cream or meringue pies, I love them as cold as you can get them. But, that being said, I just love pie and I will eat it hot or cold. I actually have...

When did you first know you were really pregnant?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 19 Jun 07

I knew almost from the moment that I got pregnant, that it was the real thing. Or, at least I hoped it was true. It's so funny how these things work out, because I had just bought two ovulation testers, and never got to use them....

farmgirlok I had breakthrough bleeding, so thinking it was a period, I got pretty discouraged. But about a week later, I got to where I thought I was just going to starve to death! I was so hungry. I was also exhausted. I just wanted to sleep all the time. I also had hot...

farmgirlok I never really had this problem in early pregnancy, but in the late stages and post-partum, I sure did. I ate All Bran Wheat Flakes cereal every day for a month or two. It took a few days for it to help, but after that, it was like clockwork.
