Welcome PreppyWife :goodvibes How are you doing robinb? Did you move into week 4 yet? How about you If U Had Wings? Did you move into week 5? I am cheering for you both. :cheer2: W5D3 is DONE and I DID IT!!!!! <warning this is going to be looooong> I am so proud of myself...

We are in a similar boat. I am not past week 5 but I am in the thick of things. I ran one extra day of week 4 (W4D4) because I wanted to feel very comfortable with the 5 minute runs. Not just get through them but feel I could run father when they ended. I ran W5D1 on Tuesday and found it to...

Welcome to everyone else who is new here like me. I ran w4d1 yesterday and it was the first day that was really hard for me. I think I drank too much right before running. In fact, I know I did. Blech. I actually ran 5min for the last interval of week 3 (w3d3) just to prove to myself I...

Thanks to everyone on this thread :goodvibes I was inspired to start the Ct5K and this morning I just finished W3D2. I can't believe I am doing this. If U Had Wings: Thanks for your last post. I felt really encouraged reading about your experience with week 4. I am doing okay in week 3...

Thanks everyone for the help/advice. It has been very useful. The Pentax was on loan from a relative and is likely sitting in a box somewhere in another state but is not available to me ;) I went back to a store to play with their cameras and liked the Canon and Sony better than the...

I have read many threads here and elsewhere on entry level dSLR cameras. I have prior experience with an SLR Pentax K1000 and own a Minolta Maxxima w/AF lens of some sort (50mm or 35mm). I have to buy a dSLR for work purposes, creating a digital archive of printed material. My budget is...

Ds finished pt day at 18mo but still is wet at night. He'll be dry someday. I also don't believe in withholding liquids so Ds drinks if he is thirsty before bed.

I don't care to prolong a debate, I will only add two (often little known) parts to why the AAP reccomendation exits. First a correction, they reccomend no screen time for kids. That means television, computers, etc. This is related to two different elements of development. 1...

First, I think you need to separate the two things: 1. bed time 2. breaking the nuk habit I do not reccomend trying the two things at once. I disagree with previous posters. Clearly, after 7 months, the supernanny thing isn't working. If she feels like she needs more of your love and...

My Ds was ready to use the toilet very young, and certainly well before he had words to describe his need. He never did sign for anything so we just used a timing method. He could hold his pee around 2-3 hours at about that age, so we just made sure to offer him the potty about that often. We...

Ds was done by 18 mo during the day. He still uses a nighttime diaper but that's fine by me. When he starts waking up dry then I'll know he's done. Yes, he still needed help getting dressed/undressed at 18 mo but I didn't see that as a reason not to let him use the potty when he wanted. I...

At that age the important thing is that he has sounds he uses as words. If he is consistently using "Ahhh" to mean yes, then you/she/Dad/everyone should respond to that sound as meaning 'yes.' Once he gets older and can form different sounds more easily he will substitute the 'real' words in...

For kids clothing, unless you are in a major metro area, I expect to pay $0.50 to $1. Maternity you can ask $2-$3 if they are long sleeves, pants, etc. Otherwise $1 for tank tops or things like solid color, short sleeve T's. Men's and women's clothing are very hard to sell usually. The...

Some women never get positive results with HPTs. It could be pregnancy, a reaction to stress and changes in your life, or something else entirely. You really do need to get a blood test because early pregnancy is a sensitive time and you want to make sure you aren't taking medications that...

Actually, I was thinking about this and there are people who have success with melatonin as a sleep aid. However, it is usually only used with older kids/adults who have troubles that are confirmed to be more than just developmental (and at 1yo that can't be ruled out).

Are you set on Florida? We had an awsome time in Arizona a few years ago. The flights and hotel/resort were a great deal and it was so very relaxing. Warm, sunny and dry. We picked the location after I spent days scouring the Weather channel to figure out where we could be guaranteed to feel...

Ds sounds a lot like your daughter. Reflux pain, teething, sensitive sleeper, around 3% to 7% for weight, etc. We coslept and nursed and our baseline was that Ds would wake up after any 30 minutes of sleep (like clockwork) if he was alone. That's where we started after finally getting pain under...

Things you might already have but are super useful: 1. A "jump drive" for storing documents and taking them from one computer lab to another. If your Dd is accustomed to working on just one computer she might find this a different experience. 2. Laundry detergent. Expensive to buy and...

I am in the minority but cannot stand the Target nursing tank I purchased. It is nowhere near long enough to offer any coverage of my waist, and I do not have a long torso at all. I also didn't like how exposed I felt when unclasping to nurse and not very supported then. For me, it was a...

1) Sorry, can't help with the Ducks tour. 2) Water parks --bascially, it will be hard to go wrong with any of the three (Great Wolf, Wilderness, or Kalahari). We vastly prefer Great Wolf but have a younger child. We toured Kalahari (twice) and Wilderness (once) we just weren't impressed so...
