Im so stressed, my kids are killing me!?




Ok, i am five months pregnant (yay) but i also have four other kids. Kyle is 13 years old and is just killing me. He is always asking me to drive him places and hes always being so mean and teenagerish (LOL)
Blake is 11 years old and always has friends over and keeping me up all night at her sleepovers and always begging me for new clothes and stuff.
Fallon is 9 years old, shes a little sweetie pie. I really cant complain much about her except for the fact that shes attached to my hip.
And lastly, my son Andrew is 6 years old. Hes also a sweetie but when things dont go his way hes a wild kid.
See i love all my kids and i want them to be happy but i need help explaining to them that im a little busy with the new baby on the way and i have to relax, but i dont want to ignore them.
Thanks so much everyone.
LOL believe me, i dont tend to Kyle like hes a king. But if i dont do what he needs he begs and begs and nags until i have to!

Baby Shoes Signed By Detroit Tigers – 1979?




I lost a relic (or they were stolen)…if anyone comes acrossed my baby shoes that were signed by the Detroit Tigers circa 1979, I’ll pay you ,000 USD.
Um, yeah – I live in Detroit and also have access to Wikipedia. The question is where – not what. And the subject is my baby shoes, not the Detroit Tigers. Gracias.
My father took me to a tiger’s game in the summer of 79′ when I was just a few months old. He handed them to someone well known (I think it was Bill Bonds – he has mentioned that he’s spoke to him a few times at the bar on Trimble)…someone took them to the dug out and the whole team signed my shoes. They were stolen from my house about 6 years ago and were probably pawned or something.

Hello all, I have a rather strange question (considering that im a guy) here goes. Do many/most women lose their “figure” after a pregnancy? More specifically does the widening of the hips cause women to lose their “nice” “perky” curvy butt? The reason I ask is because I recently graduated from college and I moved back to my hometown, I recently ran into and began talking to an old high school crush, who in high school 5-6 years ago was a “10” as far as her figure. Back in high school she had a really nice waist to hip ratio and a really really really nice curvy “perky” butt. Today she does not quite have that stunning figure she now has a five year old son, very wide hips and a wide butt that isn’t nice and curvy anymore.

She tells me that her pregnancy ruined her body, and it’s apparent, in high school she was a cheerleader, and wore “figure flattering” not slutty clothes, today she is a lot more covered up. She still works out often and goes to my gym so I often see her there, but apparently she cannot get that stunning body she used to have. I used to be crazy over this girl even though back then she wouldn’t even give me the time of day, instead she gave it to her loser baby daddy that ruined her life. I am still somewhat attracted to this girl but I cannot get over the fact of how her body was ruined. I am not being hypocritical here as I take good care of myself, eat well, workout 4-5 days a week and have the size, cuts and six pack to show for it. I have talked a good friend about it and was told I can do way better, also because I graduated summa cum laude from a prestigious university and she only has a high school diploma. I also realize this but I still can’t get over the crush I had and I find it hard to accept her physical transformation and the fact that she is now a mother.
Im really not, a stuck up prick as you of you are saying, I mean I like this girl, she seems to be the same person its just that the transformation she went through is so drastic. Also my education has nothing to do with it, its just something my friend brought up, that may cause a clash of attitude, values and outlook due to the discrepancy.

Our garage recently flooded. My daughter’s crib was being stored there. Although we raised the crib out of the water’s way, it still ended up getting a light dusting of green mold (as did all my baby gear). The crib is a finished cherry wood and is about 6 years old. My husband and I are wondering if we can remove the mold with bleach solution (baby #2 is on the way), or should we throw it out? Any thoughts or suggestions regarding treatment would be appreciated!
My husband and I looked at the crib, and decided to pitch it. Maybe if it was our bed, we’d give it a go, but bcs it’s the baby’s and more spores could be hiding in cervices after it’s cleaned, we decided to play it safe. Thanks for all of your input!!!

my mom is pregnant and i am 13?




Okay so my mom got pregnant with me when she was 14 and my real dad like totally didnt want to have anything to do with her or me after that so now they just like send us child support and i have never seen him

so back to my question…..

Okay so i basically spent the first 6 years of my life with my grandma and mom because my grandma took care of me till my mom graduated from highschool and then my mom was a single mom until she got married when she was 20. I was really excited, (i was 6) and i couldnt wait and i still love my stepdad.

so now my mom is 27 and my dad is 30 and i am 13. i am an only child until now. my mom told me she was having triplets. i am really excited and stuff but it just feels really wierd. that like me and the babies wont be fully related ? i guess. now she is 5 months pregnant and they already have the names:
isabella aubrey
aaden lucas
conner ethan

i just dont really know what to think. i mean we have plenty of money to take care of them i guess it will just be wierd cuz like me and my mom were like friends. we would go buy only designer clothes and stuff and act like teenagers (i still am anyway lol) and everything but now it is like shell be a baby mom! it just seems really akward to me. like she is too young to have a baby! idk.
i have had alot of fun picking out juicy clothes for them and like gymboree clothes cuz they are super cute but it just feels like akward. idk. has anyone ever felt this way?
well i wasnt there when she was pregnant with me :D i was inside:D haha lol . but we just always goof off and shop and she always acts and dresses like a classy highschooler! lol so it just seems a little akward

Are all crib mattresses a standard size?




When I bought my crib 6 years ago, I just bought whatever mattress I liked…no measuring involved. Now my sister told me on her baby registry packet it says to measure the crib and mattress to make sure everything fits. She is using my crib, which was brand new in 2002. Can’t she just go to her local Target, Walmart or wherever and pick any mattress she likes? Have crib sizes or mattresses really changed in 6 years?

Hey moms……baby clothes question?




I have ALL of my baby clothes.From newborn to his recent outgrows at 2y/o. And every outfit, i find a reason that it means something to me and wont part with it? They all in great shape! Good brands.????

So how many of your kids clothes did you keep for memories?

Did you give yours clothes away to a needed friend or family? Or sell them? I am not planning on having another child for another 5-6 years? Keep them that long for my next little boy?

I’m having a baby shower in August and I want to send invites to family that live too far away to come. This is my first child, I’m 28, and have been married for 6 years. Should I send invitations to people that obviously wouldn’t come because of the distance? I want gifts from them, but I don’t know if this is proper or not.
