My boys are 4 and 2 years old, and we are expecting a baby this summer. We plan to put the two boys in a room together, but my husband and I are disagreeing about beds. My husband thinks they should have bunk beds, because the room is kind of small and this will free up some space. I think they should have their own twin beds (the oldest has one now, the youngest is still in a crib) mostly because of safety, and I still think there will be enough room for them to play. Any advice from parents in similar situations? What did you do? What do you think about bunk beds?

My baby is 15 weeks and I have started to add rice cereal to his formula due to reflux. However I noticed he doesn't eat as frequently as he use to but still eats about 8 oz each feeding. As far as I know he is putting on wieght( he is already 16lbs/8oz) I just wanted to know if adding the cereal changes the frequency of eating.

i am just looking for opinions from anyone and everyone involving this matter. i noticed that this morning they brought up tha fact that some parents have a glass of wine during diner which would b almost the same as having a glass during a playdate. some say its wrong to have a drink during a playdate and others say its okay. i truely do not think that it should be as big of a deal as it has become considering the fact that there are parents who go out to diner and then drive with their children in the car after having a drink or two. i cant see that play date moms are jumping into a car with their children as soon after their drink as parents who are out to diner. just looking for opinions and they are all welcome:)

I had an ultrasound at 17 weeks I very much want to know the sex. The tech zoomed in really close to see if he could tell. There was a small something hanging there but he said it could be a girl because the flaps of skin can hang down early on and they grow into it. but it could also be a boy it was just to soon to tell. I told my sister-in-law about it and she said for sure it was a girl because at this point a boy would have been noticable. The tech told me that you can't tell till 25 weeks but everyone I know has found out at around 19 weeks. Anyone else have this on an u/s.

i will be 40 weeks pregnant on Friday, 2/9... just yesterday, i was only 1cm dilated, where I've been for the past 3 weeks! Throughout my pregnancy, I never experienced any braxton hicks contractions.. Just this week, I started getting them.. They don't hurt at all, they just feel as though my stomach gets really tight, and I get slightly dizzy.. Today, I am getting them quite often, between 5-10 minutes apart.. Does this mean that the end is very near, like maybe tonight or tomorrow? Since I was only 1cm yesterday, I am not very hopeful, but then again, I haven't been experiencing these type of contractions.. anyone have experience with this kind of thing?

So i found I out I am pregnant last Tuesday. My hubby and I couldnt be more excited! I went to the Doctor last wednesday and she only talked to me about pregnancy? Then she came me a prescript to have some blood work done and a urine test. I did all of that and it was 100% good! (i had a feeling it would say that since i felt very different) Anyways now i have to make a ob/gyn appt. But some places are saying i cant make an appt till i am "so and so" far along. But i dont know how far along i am lol! I had a regular period in December. I had a reg period in Jan on the 4th to be exact. and on Jan 30th i found out i was pregnant. Can anyone tell me how far along they think i am. or if i should just say screw it and make an appt b/c that sound weird to me?
