Get used to it. <br /><br />No sound is more annoying than your kid whining.<br /><br />Hot food? What's that?<br /><br />Germs happen. All the time. I like to think its immune system building.<br /><br />Throw out everything you thought, because it's pretty much all wrong.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-86895693601379910632011-04-13T13:53:42.620-04:002011-04-13T13:53:42.620-04:00I laughed so hard reading this post!

How far we have come! <br /><br />The advice I'd give expectant moms is do what YOU feel is right. Don't read too many books or do what everyone else is doing. Do what you think is right for you and your child. They don't call it "mother's intuition" for nothing! <br /><br />I agree with the other comments - you need to write a post on labour and delivery.
