Our baby scratches her face. She leaves marks. Why does she do this? How can we keep her from hurting herself likes this. It is really disturbing.

Yeah, tax write offs are good. I had no idea it cost so much. It makes me wonder if it is worth it for my wife to go back to work or if it would be better for her to spend the next 5 years at home.

I did not realize it either. We have a new baby and I think we cluttered to quickly. So far the baby uses its crib, swing and stroller. We have a high chair but we don't use it yet, and our saucer won't be needed for a while either.

Our doctor isn't during it yet. I asked them about it because I know people who do it that way. They said that offices have until 2014 to move to the new medical informatics standards and that they plan to do it sometime next year.

It is hard to say without knowing more. However, I think understanding why you are not confident is the first step. Are you a perfectionist? Do you hold your expectations higher than they should be? Do you give up easily or anger easily? How patient are you?

I am glad we got a ton of stuff at the baby shower. I went to get diapers and wipes and I could not believe how much they cost. How am I going to squeeze this in to the budget?

I take it you had a tree fall today. Was it bad weather out there? We had a suspect tree we felt was sick. We took it down a few months ago. We didn't want to deal with it in the winter.

I have been wanting to get one for a long time. They have some that you can operate long distance through a computer interface. Which would be nice for when we were away.

Our car seat fits very poorly in the car. I realize now that my two door car is too small, do you think I should get a new car? Or just a smaller car seat?

My wife did, she just had the baby and is still having mood swings. I figure it will take a little while for her body to get back to normal.

I am wondering if we should get a dog sitter for the first week we have the baby home. I am not sure how the dog is going to react to the baby.

Yes she is our first. I thought I would be afraid to hold her, but you guys were right. It feels so natural to have her in my arms. I am trying to get the rest of the house ready, and the car seat installed for when we bring her home.

My parents life out of town. They can't travel here and really want to see the our new little girl. When can make plans to travel with the baby?

Hi everyone! I am a dad! Last night my wife went in to labor. Everything went well and we now have a 7 pound 4 ounce little girl!! I am so excited!

My first child will be born any day now. While I am very new to this I remember being a kid and I know there were times when I had issues respecting my father, but I always respected my mother.
