moncheri09`s polls
28 polls in total.
My 32nd birthday is in a week. I am married and have two small children. Is it wrong of me to want to hire a sitter and have a girl`s night out and do a pub crawl? Is it in seriously bad taste to want to close the bar down this one night out of the year???

My son will be 10 weeks tomorrow. What are some suggestions for playtime? I do a lot of face-time with him, show him faces in photographs, let him touch different tactile surfaces (soft, hard, cloth, fur, satin, corduroy, etc.). What are some other ways I can play with/stimulate my baby?

So my mom told me that she accidentally pooped in the shower AFTER giving birth. She made it sound like it`s one of those things nobody tells you about pregnancy and childbirth. Mind you, she was not talking about pooping while giving birth, but accidentally doing it in the shower after the birth. I have tried to find information on the issue and I can`t find anything about it. What do you think?

When to worry about mold? We found a little one-inch area of mold behind the baseboards in the nursery. We, of course, freaked out and hired a mold specialist to come test the room. The results are back and the lab found basidiospores and chaetomium, neither of which are black molds. We have 2 choices: rip out the entire wall and rebuild or clean up the one-inch area of mold and keep an eye on it. Demolition of the wall would obviously be in the $1000`s and we don`t have the money for it right now. Should we continue to make it the nursery and just keep an eye on the wall and baby`s health? I slept in there for a few weeks and never had any problems (I`m highly sensitive to molds). Any advice is welcome - please help!!

What color trim? There is a picture of our son`s crib bedding on my profile. We have painted the nursery white and would like to paint the trim (baseboards, etc.) blue. Please check it out and tell me what you think - should we match the paint to the light blue or the dark blue?

Okay, I know this is a sensitive subject, but how much did you weigh pre-pregnancy and how much do you weigh now? How tall are you? I weighed 110 and now I weigh 150 at 26.5 weeks and I`m 5`3.5`... my nurse has me all freaked out about my weight gain, but I`m beginning to wonder if it`s not terribly bad, as I do try to eat pretty healthfully.

For those who have been 36+ weeks pregnant: did you find it difficult to drive at 36+ weeks? I`d like to get together for a spa date with some girls and I will be 36 weeks at that time... while a massage would be great, I`m not sure I`d be comfortable enough to drive an hour there and an hour back... input please!
