My baby smiles all the time, but as soon as you point a camera at him? Seriousface. It's actually making me kind of sad that I don't have any pictures of how I want to remember him. (Not that I don't like the Seriousface. I do. But come on, baby. Give mama some BlueSteel or something)

People... poop... themselves???

Sunbeam might be a little much, but I can see Canyon as a name. Similar in sound to Cameron, with a nod toward nature.

How awful.

I know! I just wanted to reach through the screen and tell her it would be okay.

I have to ask... What are the magic words? I suffer from haggle-guilt and have never been very good at it.

The nice thing about the current naming trends is that there are SO MANY different names now, even if something has spiked, you're still probably not going to find a classroom full of Ashleys and Madisons.

TRUE FACTS: I had a game of the Sims 3 wherein I named all my simchildren after herbs and spices. Basil, Coriander, Marjoram, Fennel, Verbena, etc. They have really grown on me as names.

Oh, the almost-names! I could have been a Tuesday, no lie. I found my parents' baby name book with their lists in the back years ago. (I still thank my mom for having most of the say, but now that I'm inching into my 30s, I find myself wondering what life as a Tuesday would have been like.)

BabyNameWizard.com. It has graphs charting popularity over time. You're going to want to avoid any recent spikes. (The blog is also quite interesting, and I found the forums helpful when naming my little guy last year. Boys' names are HARD.)

I got Mirena after too many missed pills and crossed fingers. (Never a real scare, though.) Got it removed to start trying for a late spring/early summer baby (since I'm a teacher), and BOOM, I got knocked up immediately.

Right? I used to worry that I'd be infertile because I never had a pregnancy scare. But then, as soon as the IUD came out, POOF! No period, just straight to incubating. Now as I wait for the time to be right for another IUD, I struggle with the thought that I can only get pregnant when I WANT to. Luckily, my

Moving to another country with a guy would be A Big Deal. I don't know where boyfriend's from, but you would face employment issues there as well, without a support system at home. Frankly I would only consider moving away (to another state, let alone abroad) if I thought the relationship was strong enough to

I no longer have Netflix and have no idea what's available, but have you seen The Others? Or Hide and Seek? (You should know that I am a total wimp when it comes to horror movies.)

I'm so sorry. I just had my first last spring, and while I was never diagnosed with PPD, my husband got concerned that I was not myself. We made more of an effort to not stay shut in the house all the time, which helped some. The thing that helped the most was when baby started sleeping through the night (after we

I'm going to third the suggestion for Shea Moisture Curl Milk. It is easy to overdo, since I have very fine, short 3A-B hair (and not a lot of it), and I only use the teeniest dab every other day along with LA Looks Sport Gel.

That is wise of you. When I was hugely pregnant, I couldn't wait to make my sister feel that little sucker move! That's what sisters are for.

I had a coworker ask. It felt awkward to say no, but say no I did. I am also not a hugger.

Deets??

I can't help but sing along every time I hear it!
