Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - August 2007

I'm an expectant father (boy in November!) and writing a blog about pregnancy from a guy's perspective http://blog.almostadad.com and I'm looking for info from pregnant women. My wife has broken a bunch of stuff and just seems clumsy, has anyone else experienced this?

I'm currently pregnant with my first child by my hubby, and am in my second trimester. However, the problem lies here - although I'm 22, I look no older than sixteen (some people say younger!). I'm very thin and short, which is a difficulty when looking for maternity clothes for one, and my "young" appearance gets me judged unnecessarily more often than not. I've had to explain on more than one occasion while shopping or going out I simply look young for my age. It makes me uncomfortable. Are there any suggestions for getting over this uneasiness and feeling like I'm being judged unfairly?

is there a such thing as an average cost to fight for custody?
any site that offers stats on states and the costs of getting custody? an average time it takes?
that sort of thing...
preferably dealing with fighting for custody in illinois where the child resides primarily

I have two hostesses for my baby shower this weekend and I need some ideas.

What have you given to the hostess of your baby showers?

My son just turned one this past Saturday, and I am 23 weeks pregnant with my second. I am 25 years old. I notice that people look at me strangely sometimes when I am out in public because they notice I have a small child with me and I'm obviously carrying a second. I am sure part of it has to do with my age, as I live in a community where it is more common to see women in their 30's with small babies. However many strange looks I get, I'll occasionally get someone (usually another mother 10 years older than me with children the same age) that makes a rude remark, like "Didn't you use birth control" or "Don't you know how that happens" right down to even "What were you thinking, having one after the other??"
It's getting very frustrating. My husband and I chose to have another baby, and we can financially support them both. How can I tactfully respond to some of these rude remarks?
