    Accent-related question

    Hey, I was just wondering... If someone tries to fake an accent in order to fit in (say a Bostonian moved to Texas), would that be acceptable, funny, or insulting? Can you always spot a faker a mile away, or are they sometimes good enough to fool a true native?

    East Anglia?

    We are supposed to be moving there in December, just wondered if anyone is from there. I am excited to be going; I've visited England twice before, but this will be the real deal - 3 or 4 years. :clap: :clap:

    I'm so excited - DH said HOMEBIRTH

    I still can't believe it! I have wanted to have babies at home since 2002 at least - that was when I really started begging for it, anyway. DH just wasn't comfortable with it, we couldn't afford a midwife, he didn't want to catch, etc. When #5 was born 4 months ago, DH made a comment...

    What does "quiverfull" mean to you?

    With the recent article and rebuttal linked here, I thought it'd be nice to know exactly what we mean when we say "quiverfull." PLease vote what is closest to your own position; I know it won't be an exact match, but I'd like to have everybody vote.

    News so nice I had to share

    Anniversary ideas

    So Thursday is our 10 year anniversary. I'd always thought we'd re-do our honeymoon (trip to Wyoming) at this point. But I had a baby 3 weeks ago. Glad about the baby, but makes it hard to take a trip (not to mention we can't even have sex!). So other than bake a cheesecake, what can I/we do...

    She's here!

    We'd scheduled an induction for Monday, but rather hoped baby would come earlier. She did! 7:18 this morning, after 3 hours of labor and a very fast drive to the hospital. I barely got into the bed and her head was already half out; just a push and a half and it was all over. I lay and...
