I too have the hairy toes, but I don't care much about it, no one ever sees my toes anyway.<BR/><BR/>That video = hilarious.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great post.<BR/><BR/>Carmen - I agree with everything Jen said about the nursing during pregnancy. Lots of women do it, it might get uncomfortable (I've heard the 5 month mark is uncomfortable). Right now I am still nursing my almost 2 year old and plan to TTC in the next couple months. I might try to cut down on the nursing while TTC but don't plan to wean him. I am *hoping* my son will self wean while I am pregnant.xmomxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809392188800287918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-34927207319138175312009-02-19T11:22:00.000-06:002009-02-19T11:22:00.000-06:00"Henry would continue to nurse off of my unconscio..."Henry would continue to nurse off of my unconscious body..."<BR/><BR/>I'm using that quote in the future with my son's name...

I'll let Charlie know that he doesn't know more than a 5th grader! <BR/><BR/>Carmen: If I were to find out that I'm pregnant right now - I'd pass out. But I suspect that Henry would continue to nurse off of my unconscious body because he shows no sign of weaning. <BR/><BR/>OK seriously. Yes, I would continue to nurse him. I know of several people who have successfully nursed one child while incubating another. Although, I've heard that your supply could drop off, which would probably help with the weaning process, if that's what you wanted to do. <BR/><BR/>Since I had weaned the triplets before I became pg w/ Henry, I don't have any firsthand experience. But I have also heard that nursing may become uncomfortable as your pregnancy progresses b/c your nipples become very sensitive. You might want to check with Heather @ itstwinsanity.com because she is nursing her twin infant boys AND her 3-year-old twin girls. <BR/><BR/>So, yes. It can be done. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on your pregnancy!! :)The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-49286583521569886432009-02-18T15:32:00.001-06:002009-02-18T15:32:00.001-06:00It's a good thing it's a slow day at my job - - Mi...It's a good thing it's a slow day at my job <BR/><BR/>- - Mid-digital Hair<BR/>The presence of hair on the middle segment of the fingers is caused by a dominant gene, M. The homozygous recessive condition, mm, results in the lack or absence of hair on the middle segments of the fingers. Examine your hands closely since the hairs may be small in length and light in color. <BR/><BR/>This is what my kids came home from Science class when they were studying heredity - - google, "recessive traits, toe hair" -- that's ok - i'm used to being wrong - but i don't think so this time.

He then added that even whales have hair. When I asked where? He said, "On their fingers and toes of course." And Elizabeth who overheard this discussion went crazy yelling, "NO DEM DON'T!

I thought it was a lizard b/c it kept running around so fast!) but I have a more pressing question for you and your commenters:<BR/><BR/>If you got pregnant right now would you continue to nurse Henry? <BR/><BR/>I still nurse my 23 month old, (everyone I know thinks its totally weird). I'm 4 weeks pregnant. Family and friends are saying, "well now you HAVE to quit nursing him" but I don't see how I can without serious drama. He LOVES to nurse. He's had a cold for a couple weeks and is nursing non-stop when I'm around. Real fun. But I can't imagine quitting.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just wondering if anyone had any insight. I've been doing some web browsing and I know its fairly common to tandem nurse or nurse while pregnant, but in my small circle in KS, its pretty strange. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hijack your post:)Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328635258958381699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-64629655367355318692009-02-18T11:11:00.000-06:002009-02-18T11:11:00.000-06:00I'm with you on the waxing, no thank you.

The other day I went to take a shower with my 2 1/2 year old daughter, and I put one foot in the shower when I looked down. And running around in the shower was a scorpion! (I live in AZ). Oh my goodness - I never screamed so much in my life. I gave myself a headache! My poor daughter was wondering what the heck was going on, and I woke up my twin babies - which takes a lot of noise. So I understand about the uncontrollable screaming, it was as if someone else had taken over my vocal cords. <BR/>And I agree with you on the toe thing - unless I had hair on my toes like my (very hairy) italian husband, I wouldn't wax them. However, I would wax them before I would shave them, because, man talk about a pain to do. For the record, I do have hair on my toes - but thankfully it is blond.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-58677285274105493292009-02-18T09:34:00.000-06:002009-02-18T09:34:00.000-06:00Anon, I'm not talking about beastly hair on my fee...Anon, I'm not talking about beastly hair on my feet.
