  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Does being pregnant make you appreciate more what other women have gone through that have children? Lately I've been thinking wow this is what it is all about. It's kinda one of those til you walk in your shoes type thing. And I've grown to appreciate them going through pregnancy/birth more.

So extra:hug: if you are a mom already!!

It has taken me 4 years to forget what labour was like with number one! I didn't really take to mothering straight away though, but I think (hope) that was because I had no idea what I was doing and was really unprepared. At least I know now what I am getting into :)
Although it took about 6 weeks last time to get used to it. Hopefully with what I know now, it will be a little easier this time, not a walk in the park I know, but a little easier :) At least there shouldn't be this feeling of dread that this is never going to end..... :)

I look at my mom friends a lot differently now. Now that I'm going to be a mom, I'm realizing that I don't know anything about anything about raising kids. I did make one puchase that seemed parent-wise today, though... a mocha and latte weave couch cover (brown and patterned to hide stains and it's washable). Oy, I've got some reading to do.
