Although having a baby is nowhere on my agenda right now (Woohoo! I still have to graduate from high school! LOL) I love reading your posts. I'll be storing some of these infos in my head for [much] later use XD I also think it's wonderful how Greg is posting a lot on here too. I'll bet it's a rare find to see dads making blogs like these! I'm so happy for you guys & I wish you both nothing but the best :) <em>Tricia's last blog post..Smexy.</em> My favorite blogging couple :D I think it’s great that you guys are doing this site.

We used a <a href="http://www.kangarookidsonline.com/catalog.php?category=1" rel="nofollow">kangaroo sling</a> with Cammy and I think I gave it away to someone before Bri was been born cause I can't find it any where!! I've yet to replace it - much to both her and my dismay. We do alot of attachment parenting aspects. Alot of baby massage, and talking to the baby, we're 50/50 on the co sleeping, we're working her into her crib now, or at least into her bassinett a bit more often, but if you went from sleeping on a pillow top mattress to the stiff thing they call crib mattresses... But I started this comment to tell mommy that grooming your child to be independent doesn't mean you have to not be there and that you have to not lavish your love on your baby the way you want to. you may, however wanna try doing alot of that loving while they are in the swing or in the bouncy seat - so they will be alright when you have to put them down for a little while, cause try as I might - and even with a sling, somethings are simply easier and done better and faster with two hands and no baby bump. From personal experience it is the hardest thing to do, to put them down. Which was why the travel swing was such a life saver - it is easy to move through out the house. Bri - our #2 - we thought we had a good balance goin but this week she decided up is where she wants to be. At eye level. Go figure. Shes way observant. Now I do wanna try the back pack for cleaning around the house etc.. and Please put that carpet cleaner recipe up - I need to find some less harsh still effective options out there! and you guys are gonna make great parents! <em>Raquita's last blog post..just livin la vida blogga!</em> We – and when I say we I mean me :) – wore Cammy alot, and Bri it seems is permantly attached to me as well.

Totally new to your site. What a fantastic blog! I'm quite sure that many before me have said the same. I am a mother to a toddler, trying to get pregnant again. Have learned much in the last three years since my child was born but I have to agree wholeheartedly with Raquita. A high end monitor (one with video option) alleviates any concerns you might have about what is going on with your child. A good stroller is also a must. Not too heavy and that can withstand everyday use is the way to go. Forget the fancy stuff unless it fits this bill. Remember that it will become a trusty helpmate to the both of you. You had better choose it well. <em>Milena's last blog post..<a href='http://theleapingthought.blogspot.com/2008/01/improving-palate.html' rel="nofollow">Improving the palate</a></em> Hi.
