" Name A Term Used In Football " ?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
i check the internet on my phone constantly...got an iphone when i moved to PR b/c my computer couldn't get a connection, want to go sit in the park and wish i could take my laptop with me (while i enjoy nature), have been told my laptop is going to become part of my body if it sits in my lap any longer, used to email my husband in the same apt....yikes!
there's going to be a self-help group for us soon, but i haven't found one online yet!
Serenity, there was a " get help to disconnect " at my local Community Center. 27 ppl signed up the first of 9 weeks. By week 7 the leader James, said he'd gotten the last of text/email/pm/fb that they weren't coming bc of family emergencies, job transfer, morning sickness, children in sports etc......we laughed so hard which was interrupted bc I just knew I must have gotten a hug so needed to check................
I'm so bad I dream of the internet (when I sleep)
so funny Serenity!
Joanne love how the leader got the messages on his computer! waaaha!
Good one Barb!
by the way Barb? you are obsessed lmbo!!!!@
