One of my clients at work (who happens to be BFF's with my boss), makes lotions, soaps, etc. I'll be buying from her.

This is what my friends husband is making to store her kids cloth diapers. Im thinking of making the open (hes doing the cubes on that side to) side longer and of course the whole thing taller and 16 inches wide.



Choices. they suck.

I'll be honest in that I didn't research a lot of bath products, because we got the Johnson & Johnson as gifts. He is 15mos now and we have only used 1/2 of a bottle of each.

As for lotion, my pediatrician recommended the Aveeno Baby brand. So we have a bottle, but we've never had any reason to inspire using it yet. LOL

I have a question. I have PCOS. I am constantly missing periods, so I'm pretty familiar with pregnancy tests. The second line never shows up, even I let it sit there for hours and forget about it before throwing it away... Still only one line. Well, this time, I peed on it, saw there was only one line immediately, dismissed it, and set it aside. I came back about 20 minutes later and there were two lines.... There have never been two lines and in my experience and the experience of those around me, the tests only show two lines if you ARE pregnant. So....

Thoughts here, guys?

Read the instructions. If you wait too long they can be evaporation lines.

I would pick up another couple of tests, different brands and try them too. Maybe a digital one that doesn't use lines? And do it first thing in the morning!

It's never happened before though, so I am just weirded out I guess. It was too early to test anyways, but I usually test every two weeks per routine. I may wait a week or so before trying again.

[PlottMom]

I don't take them THAT often... but I just took a digital the other day, it clearly said "not pregnant" but I still haven't had a period and its been 2 months & 1 week :/

[Barbara!]

I would go to the doctor and get a blood test. I'm used to having irregular periods because I have PCOS

This. Dr. Sears is the best. Well, there are many Dr. Sears. I think that their info is pretty balanced, not gungho pro or anti anything, but good at giving the facts and letting you decide. I think they tend to lean towards, gentle, natural parenting.

Also, their website covers nearly everything and is very informational and non alarming. Whenever I get worried, I look it us on the Dr. Sears website and am usually calmed down. They probably have a page about, "Oh, your child lost a limb. Don't panic, modern medicine is great! Here is what you should do..."
