I used to think "there must be more to the story" until it happened to me. Doctors and nurses can literally take away ALL your rights as a parent in seconds.

Griffin was diagnosed with PDD-NOS today. People keeping asking me stuff like "are you okay?" or "how are you dealing with that?" and I'm like... uhhh... I've been dealing with it for years, I'm...

Most of you know my story by now (I know I've whined enough about it! LOL), but for those who don't, I was NOT done having kids and DH was ready to shut the factory down. Last October we decided to...

Oh yeah, I agree with the IDEA of the original letter, but all I could think of was "obviously they don't have a husband who's deployed/training and if you miss that call/text, you just don't get to...

Those are great points, thank you. :)

I am amazed with Griffin, I really am. His handwriting and math skills are awesome. I was really excited to see him go on to school, but now I'm scared. This sucks.

I don't see myself doing anything different, but I imagine it will help his teachers deal when he has problems at school. I don't want people to think he's just a kid having these ginormous...

He has, to some degree, 99% of the symptoms. My husband and I have talked about it before, but have always been shut down by doctors and therapists who say "oh no! He doesn't have autism, he's...

We circ'ed both our boys. I left the decision up to my husband and would have been happy with whatever he decided. I don't have a penis, I don't know what it's like, and frankly I can see both...

Honestly, I rarely talk on the phone because I have a hard time hearing when there's background noise. I talk to my mom, my grandma and occasionally DH and that's it. Otherwise I text. Because...

Bodhi. Bodhi Bodhi Bodhi. He is into everything, cries over nothing, laughs at me when I'm disciplining him. Today he refused to nap. My grandma called me earlier and while I was on the phone,...

DH is military, so he's constantly gone, either for training or deployments. It's not the easiest, but it's what you have to do. I can't rely on other people to help because my family lives 2000...

Lorelai drinks 1-2 glasses a day (maybe 4-8 oz). Griffin drinks a glass a day, maybe. Bodhi doesn't drink milk at all. I'm trying to wean them off of it (I'm vegan and would like for them to be as...

GREAT news!! Don't feel like a nag, we WANT to hear from you!

With Lorelai, it broke at home. It felt like a "POP!" in my stomach and I had no question in my mind that my water had just broke. I ran to the bathroom and sat down on the toilet just in time for...

#1- 9 months, 1 day
#2- 6 months
#3- Between 9 months and a 1 year, I can't remember

If he's ready, he's ready! Lorelai was almost fully PT at 18 months, I slacked off when Griffin was born (around 20 months) and then started up again and she was fully PT by her 2nd birthday.

Kids go into kindergarten at all different levels, so don't stress about it too much. As far as a long name, it just takes work. I have Lorelai and Griffin, both longer names that most grown-ups have...

We have always told them right away. This last time it was rough having to explain that I lost the baby, but they took it really well. It was mostly hard on me.

Lorelai- We went on a road trip to Neuschwanstein castle (Germany) and went hiking, exploring and then swimming at the pool. She had a slice of carrot cake in the hotel room.

Griffin- I made...

We've had two Sony Cybershots and they're great for quick, every day picture taking.

I had two c-sections and a VBAC and I can tell you without a doubt, vaginal all the way!! My 1st c-section was bad and I had a painful recovery, but my 2nd wasn't bad... but in comparison to my...

Always send thank you notes for every gift, regardless of if a verbal thank you was said or not. The kids do their own cards. I will help, but they have to do them themselves.

You can tell your DH that's completely false! The peace sign actually has Christian origins. They used a picture of an olive branch to symbolize peace and it evolved into what we know now as the...

I'm not sure what the issue is, the tank top part or the peace sign? The peace sign, heck no. Not a problem at all (and that's coming from a soldier's wife ;) ). As for the tank top, if it's a...
