Husband was set to take nursing boards 8am Tuesday, left Monday afternoon to stay night since they were over 1.5 hours away. Went into labor shortly after he left, tried to hold it off but at midnight told him he really needed to come back, this kid wasnt messing around! He was on his way when they took me in for an emergency section at 1:30am, and got there just after Henry James was born! 6lbs 3 ozs, completely healthy after some time spent on oxygen and we are in love!

And then at 5:30am my father in law drove my husband back over to his test, where he took 230 questions on no sleep and worry about his new little family and still he passed! And then he passed out when he got back to us :)

@zaneeta as a soon to be parent, it would really bother me if one of my family members decided that they could handle the topic of sex with my kids better than me, so please don't do that.

However, I am all for having a great relationship with your niece, encouraging her to do well in school and in relationships, making sure she always feels comfortable talking to you about anything, and knowing that you always have her back.

But I would let her be the one to bring up any sex topics, and I would probably say, is this something you want to talk about with your parents? If she feels uncomfortable, by all means, answer her questions. But don't leave her parents in the dark, or just assume you can do it better.

I have a similar situation with my nephew. I have such a huge urge to keep him for a weekend and just tell him everything I don't think he is hearing. But he is not my kid, and therefore it is not my place.

Even if his mother wants him to live in a bubble!

Yes, I feel this need to wear a tshirt that says when I am due, it's a boy, here's his name. One co-worker talks to my belly every day in baby talk saying, oh I see baby boy is getting bigger!

That's like telling my hair every day that it is getting longer.

cat litter, and it stayed in her stomach for 3 weeks, we didn't realize she had eaten it, and she couldn't keep food down and drank like a lush. It took exploratory surgery to figure out what was wrong.

And my uncle's St Bernard ate a pair of panty hose, and one leg was stuck in her colon while the other was stuck in her stomach. Hello vet bills!
