Babyshower CAKE

dramaqn @dramaqn (1990) • United States 7 May 07

I saw this picture and just had to share, and wanted everyone's opinion on it. I can't believe someone had this as their babyshower cake. What makes someone create a cake like this?

Ms Michelle @lenapoo (678) • United States 5 May 07

Does your husband smoke?

youless @youless (112838) • Guangzhou, China 6 May 07

My husband doesn't smoke, fortunately:) Smoking is really bad for the healthy, and it also has a bad effect on others. If my husband smoke, I would try to ask him to quit. It's not because I don't like the smell, but also it's...

starrymomma My husband does not smoke, but my 1st daughter's dad did. He smelled horrible, and I remember being pregnant and the smell making me sick. Smoking is not only bad for the smoker, but second hand smoke is even worse for those around them! Even the smoke that...

Did you get stretchmarks from your pregnancy?

babygurl850406 @babygurl850406 (1322) • United States 4 May 07

When you were pregnant did you develop stretch marks? were they bad or did you just get a few? did you use cocoa butter during your pregnancy?
