Totally normal. My DS and the little girl he nanny shares with frequently dance when they get back from music class. It's super cute!

I had that too and got wrist supports for my keyboard and mouse pad at work. I wore splints at night b/c it seemed to be worse then.

A lot of farmer's markets have that stuff. Whole foods does too. I know Kensington and Takoma Park has farmer's markets every Sat.

I give my DH a gift certificate for a massage at Red Door every year. He loves it.

Levante's or Zola.

A night at a swanky hotel by herself or with girlfriends for a GNO.

About 28 weeks for a strong kick.

I had a really good experience with hypnobirthing. It really made the day that I was in labor really relaxing and pleasant. It wasn't pain-free, but made the pain much more bearable (when I stopped the breathing and tensed up, it was ALOT more painful). I loved the soft touch massage, and was able to sleep in between conractions (ok, every 2-5 minutes wasn't very restful but still). It was working until I went to the hospital and my doc insisted that I get pitocin. The pain went from managable to crazy in minutes and I ended up with an epidural. Still, I thought I had a good experience and would recommend it. I've heard that hypnobabies works better than hypnobirthing though.

Taking a break sounds good for your sanity OP! I'm not quite there with my DS yet, but my friend said that there's an Elmo potty training video that worked wonders for her three boys. Maybe try that when you're ready again?

Arturo Arauzo has painted both the inside and outside of our house. He and crew are quick, friendly, and do a good job at cleaning up. His number is (301) 949-7363

Is she a beer drinker? I foud Beck's nonalcoholic pretty close to the real thing. Virgin Mojitos were also yummy.

I had Lasik done eight years ago. I was -8 and hated that I couldn't see my bedside clock and was wearing contacts for fifteen years. The surgery was quick and painless and I still think it's a miracle that I can see so well! I have haloes at night and don't mind the reading glasses (which I can do without but am much more comfortable with).

Like everything else, it's up to the individual but I'm still really happy I did it!

Man, sour grapes PP! I think it's really sad when anyone feels like they have to stick with a job they hate since you spend so much of your life at work! A high-paying job is one thing, but feeling good about what you do is another. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side...

As for me, I'd start looking for another job but Im pregnant with #2. I figure I'll stick it out until I come back from maternity leave, work for a decent amount of months, and start the networking/headhunting stuff. Who knows, by summer of next year, there will be lots of jobs opening up b/c of changes in administration!

Playing co-ed soccer. He passed me the ball right in front of the goal b/c he was being nice. I missed the kick (about 2 feet in FRONT of the goal). He forgave me. We've been married 5 years and are expecting are 2nd child.

Get Natalya at Red Door in CC. She's the best. I got a random person once and she wasn't nearly as efficient and painless...
