My almost 9 month old has been awake constantly at night for several weeks and I am SO tired. We have his crib open on the side and pushed up against our bed, so we just have one large bed.

Anybody have experience or advice?    -Hannah
Hey guys,    I am just wondering what companies make the most comfortable/stylish maternity clothes in your opinion?   -Hannah

I was pregnant with my third child. My first was a hard hospital birth and my second was the most ideal Ina May Gaskin perfect homebirth. I thought for sure I would have another perfectly relaxed homebirth. He was born a month early in the hospital, and it was one with lots of interventions at that.

Notice spiders and flies and tractors and a person in a wheelchair. Talk about everything you observe and talk with others plenty in baby's presence. Introduce the baby...
This is my feeling as well. In my circle, when a mother has an infant who is still very much in the sling (womb) it is assumed that the mother and baby go together in all cases. In other words, the baby is not really considered an individual person yet but a part of the mom. In other words, mom gets invited somewhere, baby goes. To invite mom and assume that she will leave her infant child behind who is ALWAYS with her is sort of sad and in my opinion, messed up. You are...
I cannot imagine being away from any of my children, especially knowing they are in danger. I can only offer love and empathy and advice to go fight for him and do whatever it takes. You are his mama, and you should be a warrior and do everything that you can to save him. I personally wouldn't be able to sleep, eat, bathe...anything until I knew my child was safe.    Good luck, and please please fight.
