Lunch on the go
A little background, my husband lost his license about a month ago and I've been driving him to work every day. I work from 7am-12pm Mon-Fri go home and get lunch for my 4 year old and feed and change the baby while he showers and gets ready for work and we have to leave immediately after that is done to take him to work.…

How to handle a teenager
A little background on the situation...My now husband though in his divorce that he signed off all rights to his daughter 13 years ago because that's what his ex told him after he signed the papers (and he was young and dumb and didn't read them before he signed them). When I got engaged to him I got to read all his legal…

Hospital Bag
I got yelled at by my doctor today because I'm 37 weeks along and still haven't packed the hospital bag. My problem is I don't have a clue as to what I should put in it. I didn't have one with my last baby because he came way too early and I don't remember my first one. I know I need clothes, but what kind of clothes, and…

double stroller issues
I have 2 kids with another on the way. My oldest is 7 who's as big as a 6 year old (JUST got switched to 6t clothes) and a normal happy little boy. My second is a 4 year old who's as big as a 5 year old and almost outgrowing his 5t clothes. This one is my "problem" child. He has a ton of delays and will run when you take…

heartburn
I just figured out that drinking water gives me heartburn. I have food in my stomach so the whole empty tummy thing isn't the deal but I went to drink water and had immediate heartburn. I'm supposed to drink water but can't stand it with flavoring in it and natural fruit gives me mouth sores. Does anyone have any…

2 o'clock crash
I'm about 24 1/2 weeks pregnant and like clockwork every day my energy level crashes at 2 pm. Not only does my energy level crash but I also have restless legs so badly I have to stand up at my desk to do my job. Does anyone have any advice on how to combat this? It was this way in the beginning and it seems my body is…

Advice on blabbermouths
I have told one person that I'm pregnant and that's my best friend. I know she would never say anything. There has been some speculation going on in my office between my manager and a couple coworkers but no one has come out and asked me so I'm not saying. I'm not ready to tell as I still don't know how far I am. Yesterday…

When to tell whom...
A month ago I found out I was pregnant and within less than a week I had a miscarriage. I got engaged in that time and we were getting married in Feb. I told my boss I needed that day off after I miscarried and she asked if I was pregnant and when I told her that I miscarried she said no offense but it's probably for the…

Water woes
For some reason I can not drink just plain water right now. Every time I do it upsets my stomach. I have never had this happen with either of my other pregnancies. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can still get water in without drinking water?

Running with a jogging stroller
I need some advice. During the week I run on my lunch breaks without my kids because they're at daycare but on the weekends I run with my youngest in the jogging stroller. I am finding it so much more difficult to run with the stroller since you can't swing your arms. I tend to keep my shoulders stiff which puts tension on…

White Chili
White Chili has a lot of beans and cheese, is it really healthier than red chili? And is there a recipe that's good for you for either of them? I've made both and I don't really have a "standout" receipe but it's snowing today so it's the perfect chili day and would like to make it.

So discouraged
Since January I've been working out, changing my eating habits, changing my sleeping habits, and unfortuantely have pretty much given up sweets. Since January I have managed to lose 10 pounds. My coworker started weight watchers in January, hasn't worked out a bit, and barely leaves her desk and has managed to lose 25…
