Re: Fat pregnant fingers
My fingers and feet NEVER returned to their pre-pregnancy size. I didn't gain much weight and lost it all within a month postpartum. I had to buy all new shoes and resize my rings

Re: How much does the tooth fairy leave at your house?
I always got $20 per tooth. My teeth have extremely long roots and I had to have about 8 baby teeth (and 4 permanent teeth) pulled so it was kind of traumatic. I guess my parents felt sorry for me. I also need my impacted wisdom teeth cut out... yay. I'm thinking we'll do maybe $5 per tooth for our ... |

Re: Anyone from Austin out there?
We live around there! I'd recommend Zilker park for the doggie.

I think they were adding parking but not sure if ... |

Re: Fall TV
I'm waiting for Glee to come back! DH and I enjoy watching Parenthood, Modern Family, Lie to Me, and Outsourced... I assume all of those are coming back in the fall. We never get previews or anything since we don't have a TV and use Hulu instead. |

Re: How many pairs of earrings do you have?
I have a cheapie fake pair that I wear if I don't want to risk losing one or don't want to bother with the locking backs on my diamond studs, a nicer fake pair, the bezel diamond studs, and large pearl studs. I wear pearls most of the time because they cover the most ear-real estate! |

Re: Baby names you love, but didn't get to use
We really liked Beatrice for our first daughter's middle name but oddly enough that isn't on our list this time around. I do still like the name... just not for this child I guess! |

Re: Best place to shop for
I'm not the best person to answer because I'm not a working professional, but I'd think some place like Land's End would have very durable clothing and they do have suits. I've also been happy with the quality from Banana Republic and Gap. |

Re: Christening gowns on older boys?

Re: Were you a 20-something parent? Or a "younger" parent?
I was 24 and DH was 28 when we had our first child. I'm currently pregnant with our second and I'll probably be 25 (maybe 26) when the baby is born and DH will be 29.

Re: How much will your finger grow after having baby?
