Forum Post: Stomach bug and toddler
At the point where it's been a week or so, I would insist that the doctor do tests. I won't even freak you out with the story of my daughter's illness-- it's not likely that your daughter has the sam more »

We do have a regular babysitter, and in some ways she would be the obvious person to ask because she knows my DD pretty well. I just have been weirdly hesitant about it--somehow it seems like a huge more »

IPW, my mom did that with her third child (my little brother, who is 15 years younger than me) and I think she had a good experience--she got it all done at once and never got pregnant again. She was more »

Well, my DH and I were both sick all weekend. Sickness + taking care of a toddler + pregnancy does not = a good time, but we're a lot better now. And it's actually kind of a relief to be at work and more »
