I don't have the exact same problem as you as I have yet to see AF (and probably won't due to the birthcontrol I am on) but because I exclusivly pump, my supply had started to tank, so the doctor put me on domperidone and it has done WONDERS. I even make enough to pmp and freeze as well as give DD asll she wants. Domperidone is WONDEFUL!

Actually it's VERY safe to pump with thrush. It is very VERY unlikely to pass thrush on through breast milk, it gets passed on through skin to skin contact.
I know this because I exclusivly pump and just got over thrush myself, but DD didn't have becase I pump, and there is no nipple to mouth contact. It's extremely unlikely for thrush to be passed on through breast milk, acorrding to both doctors that saw me and my DD as well as our pharmasist.
Just make sure you sterilize your pump equipment once a day (I use the dish washer, as my pump equipment is dishwasher safe).

We were told in the hospital that DS is A-. He was not jaundice, and I'm A- and DH is O-, so there's no RH factor. But we were still told.
I gave birth in a large hospital in the city, so I can't understand why they would have tested DS if they don't routinly do it anymore.

I don't think I started shaving my legs until I was in grade 9(14-15). My mom wouldn't let me. BUT in grade 7 (11-12) I was on the bus coming home, and these high school kids started making fun of my hairy legs. I ended up going home in tears, so that night, my mom took me out and we bought some VEET hair removal cream. She didn't think I was ready to shave, so she gave me another option.
So if you think your DD is ready to shave yet, try some hair removal cream. It doesn't hurt, and there's less risk to it.

DH and I are are in a similar situation. We're buying a house from relatives, and very excited about.
I do think you are over thinking it. Once you buy that house it is YOUR house. WE've already warned our relatives that we will be painting the house, ripping up the backyard to change it, taking trees out, among other things. They KNOW that we will be making changes, and if they don't like it, tough luck.
We also will be changing the locks, so that people cannot walk right in, and we told our relatives that they could leave stuff behind, but it would go into the trash if we did not want it.
I think if you decide to buy the house, make it clear with your IL's that changes WILL be made, and they'll have no choice but to accept those changes, as it will be YOUR house, not theirs.

I don't have them anymore as the sunglasses I wear now don't have "proper" nose pieces, but when I had other sunglasses with the actual nose pieces (like regular glasses), I use to wear them on top of my head, and I got dimples like that. They took a LONG time to go away too.

Okay so here's the update;
1) I tried calling the benefits company, and they refused to let me do anything at all. DH HAS to call them to change the info we need changed. I did get their hours of operations, so hopefully he can do that soon.
2) RRSP - In this case they aren't actually done through the bank, but through the company he works for (some kind of profit sharing thing), and there's NOTHING I can do, no forms I can acess or anything.
I know some of you said you haven't changed your beneficiary, and you're not worried about it for numerous reasons...but I am. The money would go to DH's younger brother, and I'm more 100% sure I wouldn't see a cent, nor would my son or the new baby. That's what concerns me.
Of course I don't want to think about loosing my DH and it would devestate me if something were to happen to him, but I also need to make sure the kids and I are taken care of.
I don't know what to do

I need some suggestions. There are a few things that my DH needs to do/has done, that I want to know what's happening.
1) He needs to change his address with the benefits company so I can send a claim in
2) Some of his RRSP's have his brother as a beneficiary still (even though he told me he had changed that when we got married)
We talked about these issues 2 weeks ago, and a week ago I asked him about the benefits, and they hadn't been don, and he snapped at me.
I want to know if he has done these things, or when he plans to do it. But every time I bring them up, he snaps at me, tells me I'm nagging, and askes me when has he had the time. I know he's VERY busy at work, but in my mind, these things are important and should be done ASAP, whether it's taking a half an hour while he's driving from one store to another, or doing it at lunch hour. I just don't want to get snapped at again.
So how do I bring these issues up nicely, without seeming like a nag?
TIA

I agree with PP, probably just an accident.
My mom use to work for the post office, and she says that there IS a law against opening someone's mail (unless you have their permission), it's also against the law to throw out someone elses mail, even if they moved years before.
It's all under the Canada Post Corporation Act, and opening/throwing away someone's mail is a Federal offense and can carry a punishement of up to 5 years in Jail.

I, personally, would...depending on where, what and how big she wanted. I have 5 tattoos, all of which I got between 19 & 22. I admit, there is ONE that I regret, but that's because I have LARGE tattoos, and one is right on my chest that creeps into the hollow of my throat. If I could do that one over, I so would. I also have one that climbs up my entire leg (roses and butterflies) and I wouldn't change that for the WORLD.
That being said, DH does NOT like tattoos, thinks they are a waste of money (yes, I had most of mine before we met), there is NO WAY IN HELL, I could ever convince him to let me take her, and I would never do it behind his back.

Well I decided on....neither. I figure the punch is very similar to one I already have, and I probably wouldn't use the Stamp set, especially since I already have a wedding set, and I don't know all that many more people getting married.

DS was about 9 months when we had his hearing checked. We sat in a little room and the audiologist would play a sounds (loud, soft, different tones, etc)from numerous speakers in the room. and every time DS looked in that direction, he was "rewarded" with visual stimulation (a toy that lit up). The audiologist said it's the best they can do with young children, and that if we had concerns still when he was older, to bring him back in, when they can do the testing with earphones and he could tell them which ear he heard them in.
She also check his ears with a couple of machines. Thankfully she wasn't too worried about DS, and gave us her card if we had any other concerns. DS in now 18 months and we can't believe how sensative his hearing is. We have no concerns now.

I ALWAYS check tags on the actual clothing item before purchasing, I have run into it MANY times where the store price tag says one size and the clothing tag says another. Especially when I'm buying clothes for DS and it's a 2+ piece set, as numerous times, the shirt will be the right size, but the shorts/pants will be a different size.
Same goes with shoes, I always check to make sure they're the same size shoe in the box. My mom has done this since I was a kid, and I continue to do it. It's just common sense as mistakes happen, nobody is perfect.

I would have to side with the store as well. As pp have said, the pants were tried on and fit before OP bought them. It would be a different story if OP had bought them, and tried them on at home, and they didn't fit right away. But it was only after they were worn a few times that they began to stretch, most pants do that after being worn a few times.
I think the store is being more then generous with the 40% discount

I'm glad to hear you and DD are okay. And as pp's have said, I'm sure your DH will care more that you're okay, than about the car.
BUT, you still need to report it to the police, even if the truck driver didn't know you hit him. IF on the off chance he did know you had hit him, and because both vehicles are driveable, and he reports it to the police within (I THINK) 24 hours, but you don't, YOU could be charged with hit and run, which is BAD, as it's a criminal record. I suggest reporting it ASAP.

In the shower - Sure, why not, it goes right down the drain and I plan on washing with soap and water anyway, but not when DH or DS is in with me, but I don't like to pee in front of DH ever, but have had to do it once in awhile.
In the Bath - No way, I wouldn't want to soak in pee. I'm lucky, DS always seems to pee AFTER his bath, it's rare that he pees in the tub, and when he has, it's always been at the end of his bath anyway.
In the pool - Not since I was a kid. I'm sure DS has though, like PP has said, swim diapers are only designed to keep the solids in, not the pee
In a lake/ocean - Yup, only because I'm too lazy to walk a mile to find a washroom....and it's way too cold to get out of the water once you're in, and even colder to get back in
