You mean, something like this happens to babies? Wow, I guess there's more to learn than I thought there was. I'm going to have to read more.

Honestly, I have seen quite a few readers. But then again, I'm quite active with our local library. I think you would be amazed at the number that actually do read. They just read different forms of books. A lot of the teens I know either read their books on their iPod or mp3 players.

They say men are so different from women and I guess we are. I would never have thought of any of this. I love my wife and want to make things as easy on her as possible but it never even occured to me to do some of these things.

Good idea! I used to have to work for things I wanted. I think it did me good to find out how hard you have to work for money to buy things you want. I think I'll keep this in mind for when my little one gets to that age.

My wife and I have a couple of dogs and three cats in the house. Now that the baby is coming, I've been worried about what to do. I sure don't want my baby hurt but we are awfully attached to these little critters. What should I do?

This is going to sound strange but have you tried meditation? It really makes you relax even if it's just 10 minutes. I have done meditation to deal with pain sometimes and it works for me.

Wonderful advice Kenny! I've been wondering what I could do to make things easier on my wife. She is having a bit of a time right now with nausea and I'm at the hand wringing stage. I don't know what to do.

I just broke a tooth! I hate that. I've had trouble with my teeth for some time anyway and it's not the first one. This means another root canal and crown. Of course it has to be expensive.

It is very hard to do. I have reports to do when I come home after I've spent the day at the office. I do this every night and it really takes up a lot of time. I thought the money was worth it but now, with a little one on the way, I am rethinking some of that.

You'll have a blast with a son! Kids are so great! I don't mind what we have though. I just want mine to be healthy and happy. It would be nice though to have a boy first so the others that come next will have a "big brother".

Thanks guys. I may have to do that. We have a little walk in clinic in our town that I can take her to after hours. I would rather see her pediatrician but I have to work this week, we have inventory going on and it's a killer.

Have you guys seen the slings for babys that are made just of cloth? My wife was showing it to me and it doesn't seem like it's too sturdy to me. Have you seen them and if you have, what do you think of them?

We also like Liam, Neal, Thomas, and James. But then we are just starting to think about names. We have a bunch of names for girls too. We will start narrowing it down as we go along. Every day we find new names we like and put them on the list.

I have a good friend who just found out, he's a Dad! He has a five year old daughter by a girl he used to go with. She never told him but since the daughter is now asking why she doesn't have a daddy, the Mom is contacting him. It's so unfair of her to have kept the joy of the child away from...

Thanks guys. I've never been around a woman that's pregnant, at least in my family. I'm the youngest kid in my family and we grew up away from extended family. Of course Mom had friends who were pregnant but they didn't discuss things like this with me around. I want to do everything I can to...
