[QUOTE]Hike, try the paper? Ours lets you list garage sales in the classified for like $5 so everyone does. They also have an only searchable thing.

[QUOTE]<strong>Chels- what did you do? </strong>Steph- I keep looking on Craigslist for garage sales but it seems like people just post signs around town. I get nervous that they won't have baby stuff so I never stop to check them out. Why ami weird about that?

Well my two FSILs took me out to dinner first. Then we played some games. Each person got to write some "marriage advice you wouldn't want Grandma to hear" and I got some interesting ones. Had a lot of yummy food/drinks. Each person also brought a piece of lingerie for me and I had to guess who brought what (that got me over the tipsy line haha). But I got a lot of really awesome stuff! My friends are so generous! Then we went downtown. There, I had to finish a "checklist" that inclued things like getting a condom from a guy, finding a happily married couple, finding another Alex (FI's name) and telling a group of guys I'm entering into an arranged marriage and being traded for camels lol. My BMs have quite the imagination :)

ha, KD. Puck was at the dog park the week after we got him. Oops. But there's no way we would've been able to control him otherwise. Now he's just a big bump on the log. lazy grumpy butt.

At a certain point in pregnancy they suggest no baths. Risk of infection.

<div>Ha.. I had to buy a new air mattress. MIL used ours last, and I woke up 4 times the first night and had to refill cause I was on the floor. So glad she could tell us she got a hole in it before she gave it back to us... H got home yesterday and flew out today so he stayed with me last night, and he didn't sleep well and I kept dreaming I was seasick. </div>

The vet doesn't want him around random dogs till he's had all his shots at 12 weeks. And Dobies, Rotties and Pom are supposed to have an extra parvo shot. They are more susceptible.

<div>I was told warm baths are fine at any point. Not too hot, because you don't want to cook the little bean (same as no hot tubs or saunas or tanning beds.) And no bubble bath or anything.</div>

Loopyseven · May 2012

LHT - I will have a bed Thursday night - even if it's just taking the mattresses off the truck and putting them on the floor

. How much we get unloaded Thursday depends on how long it takes him to drive. He'll have to go slower in a truck than in a regular vehicle.

See I was told at a certain point you are more susceptible to infection from a bath. This came from my lamaze coach as well as a few other things regarding sex.

<div>This is in line with some stuff I have read. I'm kind of excited cause our new apartment has big soaking tubs in the bathrooms so I won't have to contort myself in order to be adequately covered in water :). And I read my Kindle in the tub all the time. </div>

I found this and it basically says what I was thinking, its battery powered, so no real risk other than ruining your kindle. Put it in a large plastic ziploc to protect it.

I used to float around my parents pool with the cordless phone in one of the cup holders of the floaty chair. The epitome of lazy

- granted this was between morning swim practice and evening swim practice so I was getting plenty of other activity daily.
