surely the kids deserve a dad or at least the chance of a dad. How would you feel if you knew you came from donated sperm?

At what age should you stop swaddling an infant? Our baby is 3 weeks old and we were recently told that we should stop swaddling so as to not restrict the movement of the baby...Is this true? We have a fussy baby that only seems to be calmed by this method, but we do not want to hurt him in any way. Your help is appreciated.

I spent $150 total on maternity clothes today. I spent $100 at Old Navy and bought 8 shirts, 2 pants and 2 capris.

Then I bought 40 pieces of used maternity clothing for $30. The used clothes were from Motherhood, the Gap and Target. It included 25 very cute shirts, 4 pants, 2 jeans, shorts, and much more.

All I need to buy is underwear and maternity bras later on. My clothes should fit me my entire pregnancy unless I gain 50+ pounds!

My husband thought $150 was too much, but I got enough clothes to last 9 months and more pregnancies.

Oh and I work in a business casual office, so I can't get away with just buy big shirts and sweats during my pregnancy. :(

What do you think?

i have to literally wake him up to feed. he eats and after 20-30 mins starts feeling sleepy again and insists on being put to bed, and i have to wake him up after 3-4 hrs again for the next feeding time. where is the time for any activity?
how is the experience with other parents? how many hrs does your baby sleep and in how many breaks?

I bought Parents Choice from walmart, which says on it that its same as Enfamil with Lipil. But the pediatritian said that Enfamil or Similac are best. Anyone have experience with whats best? My take is enfamil or similac are considered best because its widely available, where as Parents choice is only in Walmart. Any help would be appreciated!

are these rules I've written into a contract she has to sign unreasonable?
"-I will be polite and courteous to all members of the household at all times while visiting
-Appropriate clothing will be worn at all times, i.e; no bathing suits, no short shorts/skirts or excessively revealing attire.
-there will be no hanging out in bedrooms without permission.
-there will be no leaving the premises to go for a "walk" without adult supervision
-there will be no making out or any other sexual activity inside or outside the house."

If a mom had your childs gf/bf sign something like this would you be mad?
