    How do you feel about telling people you're pregnant?

    I don't like keeping pregnancy a secret. I know some people like to wait until they hear the heartbeat or until the second trimester because of the potential for miscarriage, but I would rather people know so that they can pray for me and my baby. I had a miscarriage in July and we'd already...

    The Island (Ostrov)

    I saw it a few weeks ago when my BIL brought it over. He borrowed it from someone at his church. It was quite good.

    Not Fed By 10 Minute Liturgical Sermons?

    Thanks, Uncle Clem! Good to meet you, too. Thanks again, everyone, for the responses. I've told her many of these things already but I wanted to see if there were some better ways of putting them, and this helps me. My friend seems to be searching but she is rather cynical about a lot of...

    Not Fed By 10 Minute Liturgical Sermons?

    Hi, this is paleodoxy's wife. :) My friend is Lutheran. She's gone to a Lutheran church since she married her husband (who grew up Lutheran) 10 years ago; before that she went to charismatic churches. Thanks for the replies, everyone.

    Anyone here from Texas?

    South East Texas here! Any Christian couples from the area looking for friendship/fellowship? We're mid-twenties with a baby daughter. And...dare I say...we LOVE to skinny dip in the summer. lol But that's not required ;)

    When did you start to show?

    I think I started showing around the end of the first trimester. The reason why most people show sooner with their second is usually because of diastasis (separation of the abdominal wall). They say around 98% of pregnant women end up with diastasis to some degree (I have it, though it's not a...

    Breastfeeding

    So far it's been 10 1/2 months. I have no plans to stop any time soon.

    What if I tear with no drugs? and other thoughts

    Same here. I had a second degree, partial third, and didn't know it until they told me. I mean, it's not like you can feel that you're tearing; it just hurts, as I'm sure it does even when you don't tear. The stitching is definitely the worst part. :sigh:

    Which Do You Think Is More Rude?

    It's definitely more rude to disrespect the wishes of the bride and groom. It's their event and regardless of how right or wrong it is to not invite children, it is their choice. I didn't invite children (other than out of town guests and nursing babies) to my wedding. I wanted to, but we...

    Birth Control, Vasectomy, Tubal ligation?

    I don't think the use of birth control necessarily reflects a lack of trust in God, or a desire to usurp authority over a realm that is His. "Quiver full" folks will point to the Scriptures that mention the fact that it is God who opens and closes the womb; but what is rarely mentioned is that...

    Diapering

    I use disposables on my 10-month-old. I tried cloth when she was about four months old but at that time she was growing so quickly that I barely had a chance to use them before they didn't fit anymore. LOL I never got around to buying a bigger size and decided to just stick with disposables for...

    Breastfeeding Class

    Yes, and I have never been to a LLL meeting myself, but I hear that the ones held in the evening are primarily made up of women with jobs outside the home, while the morning meetings have more SAHMs. Which makes sense to me.

    How close were you to your due date?

    My baby was born on her due date. :D

    Breastfeeding Class

    Yep. And I have read that if you're sober enough to drive, you're sober enough to breastfeed.
