After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesque on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast…because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
*A story I read a few minutes ago. I am unsure who wrote it, but it is nice.

Did it work ?

I may soon be caring for my 4½-month-old grand daughter while her parents work. If we do that, I would like to get a car seat for my car, so we don’t have to keep switching it in and out all the time. I know next to nothing about car seats! We weren’t required to use them with my kids.
I want to know how old she she should be before we go from rear facing to forward facing. I hope to get a convertible model that can do both, and will not have to be replaced too soon. I would appreciate recommendations for ones that would be easy for an uncoordinated grandma with back problems to deal with and use. I doubt that it matters, but I have a PT Cruiser with leather seats.
I know the safest location is the middle of the back seat, but that is about all I know. I welcome any and all tips from parents who are familiar with car seats. Thanks so much!

I have an appointment and I will be 11 weeks 4 days. I have heard stories of doctors simply GUESSING the babys gender early. I know this is too early to be definate so I don;t need anyone to tell me it’s too early to tell but I was curious to see whether or not anyone’s doctor has ever correctly guessed the gender earlier in pregnancy and what is the likliehood etc.of figuring it out I believe it has something to do with the nub theory?…

my husband and i decided we would like to start trying soon. i would love to have a baby this year. i’m 22 yrs old and i read the healthiest babies are born to mothers 17-22. so i dont want to leave it too late. especially as my husband is a bit older. anyway he’s a nutritonist and he gave me a list of things to do, he wants me to do this for a whole six months even before we start trying….. lol
1. I can’t eat any junk food, which means no chocolate :’( Also fast food, red meat, table sugar, salt, coffee and alcohol are all off limits.
2. I’m only allowed to eat organic food and I have to eat 8+ servings of fruits & veges everyday and 3+ servings of fish every week….. (i *hate* fish)
3. I have to take folic acid , multi vitamin, fish oil supplements
4. I have to exercise 6 days a week. My husband also wants me to gain 10 lbs because I’m only 100, but with the diet & exercise…. how is that possible??
5. I have to “cut off” my friend who’s husband is a smoker. I’m literally not allowed to see in person until the baby is born.
6. I have to throw away all my makeup and skincare products (because of the “toxic chemicals”). I’m only supposed to use toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and a few other essentials.
7. we have to hire a cleaner to clean the house because I can’t touch cleaning products (chemicals again).
8. and a weird one: I’m not allowed to go to the gas station to fill up petrol in my car.. lol
ive just summarized it , the actual thing is pages!
Do you think this is a bit over the top? By the way my husband already has two grown perfectly healthy sons and I bet his ex wife never had to go through any of this…. :’(
