Babysugar Diaries: I Ate It (and I Don't Mean Food)

babysugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:13:58 -0700

Pregnancy often brings clumsiness along with it. I try my best to avoid precarious situations, but sometimes my body does its own thing. While flats typically make my legs look short and stubby, they usually afford me a level of comfort and agility.

The other day I sported a new pair of bright blue ballet flats to work and was feeling quite agile for a woman entering her last trimester. As I made my way down the San Francisco hills, I stepped on the smooth surface of an electrical cover and completely ate it. Both feet flew out from under me leaving my tush and hands to break the fall. Humiliated of course, I slowly pulled myself together and gingerly walked the rest of the way to the bus stop. Luckily, I got a seat and was able to lick my wounds.

I refuse to wear sneakers with a dress, but I'm not sure what other footwear would work if my flats aren't doing the trick. Combat boots?

Sugarbabies: Keeping Warm and Cozy

Lil Community — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:00:51 -0800

This story was submitted from user Heather in our Sugarbabies group.

This is my adorable seven and half month old nephew, Sullivan, who got all cute and cozy in his stroller for a Fall stroll last week. My aunt knitted his sweater and hat set which, fits him perfectly and keeps him nice and warm on chilly Canadian days.

Are You Asking Your Caretaker to Get the H1N1 Vaccine?

babysugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:00:15 -0800

It has been the worry for many a mother this Fall - H1N1. Schools have been closed for it and a state of emergency has been declared by the president. While many moms are choosing not to inject their wee ones with the vaccine, others are standing in clinic lines for hours hoping for their share of the shot. Since children and pregnant women are considered part of the highest risk group, it is natural that child caretakers should also try to guard themselves against the illness. Many mamas who aren't necessarily fired up about getting an H1N1 vaccine for their child may request their nanny get one. So tell us, are you asking your childcare provider to get the vaccine when it's available?

Would You Take a DNA Test to Determine Your Fertility?

babysugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:00:40 -0800

It is a fact of life that women are more physically able to have children at a younger age - hence the biological clock talk. However, today's women are less likely to fall into the role of Donna Reed and take on the homemaker tasks in their early 20s. Instead young ladies are out getting degrees, making a name for themselves in the corporate world and taking the time to enjoy a jaunt or two around the world. While it's wonderful that many women are having fulfilling lives before starting families, it does leave some worried about the future of their fertility because even though the times have changed, biology hasn't much. What has changed is the ability to test one's fertility.

Fearing they may miss out on the window of babymaking opportunities, some ladies are choosing to test their eggs as a sort of crystal ball measurement of their mothering capabilities. While tests like that may offer a glimpse into one's parenting days, there is a decent chance it provides false hope for some while dampening free spirits.

So tell us, would you take a test like this knowing it could change your perspective on life or would you rather go with the unknown as we've done since the beginning of time?
