    Childbirth hurts how bad?

    I would give it a 7, but that's before I got the epidural, so I kinda cheated. I had a hard time staying awake after he was born, but the birth was not near as bad as I thought it would be. I hope your future births are beautiful ones and that you have nothing but happy healthy babies!

    My Grandpa, who was Great

    My papa died today, well I guess it was technically yesterday, but it hasn't even been 12 hours so it still feels like today. I didn't know I would take it this hard. I have been helping my nana take care of him, he had alzheimers. He was really suffering. I am glad he is Home now, but I...

    Babies at a Funeral

    Alright then, I will bring him. I didn't want to leave him with a babysitter anyway. My grandpa did love to hold him.

    Alzheimers

    Thank you :-) My grandpa is dying, he will most likely die today. We were at the hospice most of the day. He's turning grey and he's breathing very deeply. He is unconcious. We didn't want to be there when he dies, my grandma cannot handle that so we left. Also, I think that he may not...

    Babies at a Funeral

    I know my family is all really overwhelmed right now, and I don't want to ask them this question. Do you think that it would be too hard on Jack to take him to my Grandpa's funeral? He'll be nine months old by then, he's a really good baby and is used to being in Church. I just don't know...

    My son Jaws...doh! I mean Jack.

    Does that work for 9 month olds? (well, he's 8 months and three weeks)

    Alzheimers

    My grandpa is dying. We put him in the hospital not more than two weeks ago and he just stopped eating. He won't take water, he pulls out his IV. He's ready to die. They are moving him to hospice tomorrow morning. It's a big shock to me because I didn't expect him to die for another 20...

    My son Jaws...doh! I mean Jack.

    HELP. What do I do? He's biting me, he is nine months old and I don't want to flick him on the nose or hit him or do anything physical to "punish" him. What can I do to make him stop? He doesn't understand what he's doing, so I have tried saying "Ouch!" and "No Biting!" and "Stop", but...

    I need to ask for advice?

    If you're asking about giving birth, NO! it's not that bad. I did it and the whole time I was thinking, "I know it's got to get worse", but it never did. I had an epidural, so I cheated. But it was still a wonderful birth and I have to say that there is nothing better in the world than being...

    When babies talk, how quickly...

    Wow, you have five kids! I am soooo jealous, in a good way. I want 6 but it doesn't look like it will work out that way. Have fun with them. Kids are great, don't you think?

    When can they use a blanket?

    I think they say not until one year old, but to tell you the truth, we use blankets. Not thick quilts or anything, but still. When he was little, I used the blankets that babies sleep in. They sell them online at babies r us and other places. You put them in their jammies and then you zip...

    I have the same question! What's up with these babies and their crazy sleeping habits??
