Reply to My second experience with breastfeeding... in Parenting JoeUser Forums

Thanks Loca. I've been trying hard to remind myself that she is getting the best I can offer her through my pumped milk. It's still hard not to be able to BF her every time at the breast though. Thanks for the encouragement.

My second experience with breastfeeding... in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I never in my life thought I would be one of those women who get emotional about breastfeeding. When I was pregnant with my son, I figured I’d try it. If it didn’t work out, that’s fine, I’d quit. It didn’t work out, so I did quit. This time I wanted to try harder. So during my recent pregnancy, I read all I could about breastfeeding. I even bought LLL’s book about it

No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted... in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm not sure if you all have seen this new Dove ad yet. It's part of their Campaign for real beauty. You can see it by clicking here . I wound up looking at it about a week ago and I wasn't so shocked at how different the girl looked with makeup, but at how much editing was done to her in the computer phase of the pro

These kinds of charges always intrigue me. How on earth does a person get charged with animal cruelty, whe the alleged victim cannot testify that the act was in itsef cruel. It seems to me a mature pitbull is more than equipped to "refuse" sex with a person, should the dog feel he/she is not being "pleased". It says in the article that the d

I'm glad you were able to get some nice pics/video after traveling all that way. I went to a german ob for a 4D ultrasound, but there wasn't enough fluid around her face to get a good picture. She mainly looked like flesh blob. We were able to see her little girly parts with the 2D u/s though, and that's all we really needed. I love the smile video, so cute! You'll have to send lots of p

Oh yes, I secretly wonder about some couples. I just can't help it. What's the attraction with some people?! Blech. Sometimes when someone I know is expecting a baby, I can't help for just a second to picture the act that produced the child. Sometimes it's just so gross and I don't even WANT to picture those people in that situat

I think she's really cute! My hubby and I used to have a cat almost the same color and we always liked how she had kinda a feral look about her like she was wearing camo.

After waiting a couple months, have a male friend put on a mask, run up from out of nowhere, kick Mr. Jackass in the balls, then run off as fast as he can. Just make sure to never breath a word about it. Revenge has a way of biting back. I have to admit this made me giggle out loud. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/

Reply to I don't want to be skinny, in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I'm positive it wasn't D.'s intention to be controlling about the stair thing. I post on the babycenter boards for my due date club and quite a few of the women there have had their water break and have given birth early. I think he's just scared of the baby having to spend time in the NICU. (Which we'd have to go to a german hospital or 80 miles away to LRMC for that) 35 weeks! How exciting, you'll have to have J. let me know if something happens. I'll be 35 weeks this Tuesday, but I'm

I wish her a uneventful pregnancy. I've had 2 m/c myself and they were devastating for me. Nice ultrasounds though! Wish I could get some more of my own, but I've only got 5 weeks left. Grow, Griffin, Grow!

I guess you've never heard of Amy Jones' case. =/ Her husband tried to kill her in a hotel room, in what one of the officers called the bloodiest crime scene he'd seen. (She was bludgeoned with a flashlight, then he tried to smother her and drown her in the tub) They considered him a first time domestic abuse offender, so he wasn't charge initally with attempted murder and was released after 24 hours. A few weeks later he returned and hid in her van, d

Oh, I forgot to mention, I've heard from person upon person that those wipe warmers are a total waste of money. The wipe gets cold as soon as it hits the air supposedly. That and diaper genies seem to be the thing most regret buying for their new babies.

Reply to You've really been letting yourself go lately in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I think you look great Angela! I love the second pic of your boy and you. Of course gaining the pregnancy weight is going to weigh heavily on you, for one, you are tiny, and two you're a woman. Women notice a extra 2-5lbs on themselves, where men generally don't notice until its balloned much further than that. Maybe its society, I dunno. I'm not going to do the whole "You think you're

I was standing outside the commissary the other day with a bag full of snacks for our little road trip back to Ramstein. I would have walked up to the BX parking where my hubby was, but he demanded I stay there. He’s afraid of the baby coming early and didn’t want me hiking up the concrete stairs. I tried to reassure him that just walking isn’t going to break my water

Huettingen is the english way of spelling our village. It's supposed to be spelled with a weird little u, but I can't do the weird u. It's actually Huettingen an der Kyll, which I believe means Huettingen "on the" Kyll, with Kyll being the river going through the village.

I don't think there is really anything like a first kiss from a guy. I hate to say it but sometimes I think all that excitement from a first kiss is mostly just nerves, as in nervousness, not physical sensations. And to answer your question, we do make out. And it's good. hehe. I have to honestly say, I can't think of much better after a long hard day than a warm intimate kiss
