You can't get EI when you are getting paid as you would be on vacation time. It's like still being at work as far as they are concerned. Everyone goes for 2 weeks with no income from either their employer or EI when they go on EI.

Quote: My Dd is almost 2 months and I can't imagine having to take her out of her bucket seat to put her in a stroller and then have to put her back into the bucket seat to go home. It's hard enough to get her in there and she screams most of the time until we start moving. And if she was sleeping, there is no way I'd want to disturb her. So, basically, I'm saying get the bucket seats and the snap and go (?) to carry them....

I've resorted to having a glass of milk after my meals, seems to cool things down a bit. If not, I rely on tums. Sorry... I know how much it sucks.

I feel the same way about cloth diapering as Nifer. It's just not for us. Maritimers - thanks for asking about aquafit. It's going well so far. We laugh a lot! I'm definitely still up for a GTG. Lamp - I hope your headache is gone now! BOTB - for DTD! AFM - I had a message from my midwife that our IPS results are all normal.

Quote: Mrskbb - If you have a cabbage patch doll, you're more than welcome to come by and try it out! I have a "fake baby" which is a teddybear wearing a newborn diaper/sleeper... it's a joke with DH and I. Maybe I'll put him in the carseat and drive over to your place to try it out! Or maybe they have one I can "try" at Chiquita Baby!

I don't know about getting blood without the paperwork from your Dr. but your story makes me wonder how you feel about your Dr? Sorry to open another can of worms, but do you feel that telling you to just go to the ER is best care you deserve? IMO I'd be going to the ER AND looking for a new Dr. FX everything is okay.

*sorry for yet another heartburn post!* So i never had heartburn with my pg with DD. Now every time i eat i get it!!! evening seems to be worse. Are there any "magical" cures or preventions i need to know about.... i try and stay "au natural" as much as possible, but tums have been my best friend this past week.... there's got to be something!!

I do Tums and they seem to help. I know ginger helps with nausea, could it help with heartburn too?

Graco has the Snugride32, which allows you to use it up to 32lbs or 32 inches (according to them 90+% of one year olds will still fit in it). We chose that seat just so we don’t have to make the upgrade while I’m still on mat leave. They go on sale a lot (I got mine for $150) and it’s a great option if you want the convenience of a bucket seat but don’t want to make the change to a convertible so early.
