    I'm pregnant with my 4th!

    I have two boys and a girl. I was extremely emotional with my daughter, but I don't remember it being so early on during pregnancy. Do you think that it could be because this baby is from a different father than my other three i had with my ex-husband?

    I'm pregnant with my 4th!

    Found out two weeks ago that I am expecting. I am about 6 weeks along. This pregnancy has been soooo different than the other 3. I am more emotional, I already have food cravings and aversions... I just feel out of whack. Please pray for this pregnancy. Thank you!

    she is so irritating

    My oldest son cried a lot, and was an irritable baby. He was always wanting to be held, and against popular thought in our society, I held him anyway. My ex husband had me put him down one night because he thought I was spoiling him, and wouldn't let me go get him after 4 hours of constant...

    Hi. My Name is......

    We all (people aware of their alcoholism) have reasons why we choose to drink or not to drink. I have ashamedly fallen into the catagory of why I have " fallen off the wagon" so to speak. I have struggled with alcoholism since I was 16; in fact I attended my first AA meeting on Nov. 9th, 1994...

    Hi. My Name is......

    I would like to share what my Starbuck's coffee cup had quoted on it this evening. And the timing was perfect for me. When I have more time, I will share where I am at. "The Way I See It #150" All unhappiness and stagnation result from a feeling that you are at the mercy of the world and the...

    What do you wear while you labor?

    With my first two, it didn't take long for me to strip naked. lol I couldn't stand the clothes touching me. With my daughter, my midwife was smart. It was march, and very cool still, so she opened up some windows. I was freezing, and put on a long flannel pink night gown. She told me after...

    Hi. My Name is......

    Sorry I am writing so much! I know the issue with my son will improve in time, I just feel helpless right now. Went to a meeting the other day, and the topic was on acceptance, and how people came to a level of acceptance. One thing that stuck out to me the most was what one man said: "You...
