well i thought being pregnant was a challenge (4+ months bed rest)
i think trying to hold a reflux baby upright for twenty minutes with no sleep
is nearly impossible, at least for safety's sake
but what i've learned is this,

I just signed up for this free 5 week series (Saturdays 10:30-11:45 a.m.) for parents and children ages 0-3 at the Live Oak Library called Together at the Library. I forgot the flyer at the library (oops) but different community resources come in to talk and answer questions on different topics. Since Husband works on Saturdays, I am always looking for activities to get out and about on the weekend. I know this is a time most families are together, but I just wanted to pass this along. The first…
