Is there somewhere I can get a list of all the equipment absolutely necessary for STS? I keep seeing threads of people who are buying various equipment and not sure if this is optional or not. Rachel

I am RH negative. I received the shot during both of my pregnancys and after both birth's. I had two very uneventful and healthy pregnancys and have two healthy girls! Hope this helps. Rachel

What if we are taking a multivitamin or any other supplements? Should these be entered in the nutrition software?

We have since let her cry it out. We only had to let her cry twice for less than 5 minutes. She now sleeps from approx 7pm-4am. I get her and feed her at 4 and she goes back down until 6am. Once in awhile she will fuss in the night but I don't get her unless it is a true cry. I think this...

Will you be pumping at work? I work 3 days a week and use the Medela pump in style. I can pump both breasts at once in about 10 minutes. It even has a cooler to store the milk in. It comes in a black leather case and you can't even tell what it is. It is somewhat expensive though. I was...

Has anyone found a way to teach your child to put herself to sleep besides crying it out? Katie is still getting up 3-4 times a night at six months. She has acid reflux but that is pretty much under control. She does nurse everytime she gets up but I think that is her way of going back to...

The doctor did tell me that they do go through a 6 month growth spurt. Our doctors visit was good in that she has a mild case of acid reflux and we are doing everything right to help her with it. The bad news is we will have to deal with the situation the way it is until she outgrows it (12...

I think I jinxed myself posting that I was getting sleep! She is back to getting up every two hours! I think her acid reflux is getting worse again. We have an appt with a gastroentologist on Friday. Has anyone else had this experience? Not sure what to expect on this visit.. Rachel...

I have been doing the new cardio fusion by cathe. I am working out more but not as much as I want to. I hope to try drill max tomorrow. Katie is finally sleeping better. We have gotten a new acid reflux medicine and this seems to have done the trick. The only problem now is she is...

I am so envious of all of you that have baby's that sleep! I am writing this after the worst night since she was born! For some reason she decided she was not staying in her bed last night. She picked the worst night possible as I need to clean the house from top to bottom today as we are...

My workouts have been non-existent! I am barely coping as my 4 month old still gets up every two to three hours each night. We had a night last week when she got up 7 times! We have been to the doctor and it seems we have tried everything. We started cereal 3 weeks ago and vegetables last...

I too am experiencing the sleep deprivation caused by Katie's growth spurt. I need sleep! She is starting to stretch it out to 2-3 hours between feedings again but it is still not enough sleep for me. I managed only two workouts last week. I did Imax 3 and Boot Camp. I recorded Boot Camp...

I found it at Target today. I had called there a couple of weeks ago and they told me they did not carry it. I went in today for something else and there it was! I can't wait to try it. Rachel

Where did everyone purchase their Bumbo seats? I want to get Katie one and am having trouble finding in the store. Did you order online? Rachel

I am breastfeeding and I got the Mirena IUD. I will probably breastfeed for a year. My doctor said it is OK for breastfeeding women. It does release a small amount of hormone. I actually had this IUD before I had Katie. I got it removed in June of 2005 and was pregnant by October 2005. We...

My workouts were horrible this week! My goal is to work out on my days off. I did Imax 3 on Sunday and Chest and Triceps on Wednesday. I got my IUD on Wednesday so I was crampy for a couple of days. (No more children for us!) We spent our first night in a hotel on Friday. It took me four...

Just jogging. In fact my carrier fits in the stroller. It is nice. The carrier can go from the stroller into a base in the car, becomming a car seat. I wish I had done this with my first! I was forever getting her out of her carrier and into the car seat. Also, I had two strollers. One...
