How many pillows do you have on your bed?

We used to have four. Two for him, two for me. Well, throughout this pregnancy I’ve just been adding pillows. We currently have eight regular pillows and one body pillow. Two of the regular pillows are his, the rest are mine and yes, I actually use all of them. Two of them are for my head, the body pillow goes in front of me, one goes under my hips, another goes between my legs, and two go behind me when I take naps. If my honey is behind me, then I put the other two on the night stand.

So what about you? How many pillows are you using?

How can I soundproof my bed?

I live in an appartment building and the guy downstairs is complaining of noise but won’t say what it sounds like or when it is. I’m assuming its coming from our bed when having sex. We have soft laminate floors and don’t want to put a rug down as that would ruin the look of the room.

Are there any other ideas/ways to soundproof the bed? My knowledge of physics isn’t great… Would putting anything under just the legs of the bed make a difference?

I am traveling with my dog for the first time. She’s about ten months old and this will be her first time going on a long trip. We are traveling to another state that is about 18 hours away-We will be going in three months, so I have plenty of time to plan. I’m still trying to find a pet friendly hotel/motel that allows medium-large sized dogs and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to keep a dog there. My father has some health issues that require we stop a lot for breaks-so giving the dog time to stretch her legs/eliminate won’t be an issue.

My dog is crate trained but has never rode in the car in a crate. She is usually in the back seat where she sits/lays down. I plan on getting her a travel crate for the trip and hotel. But when she’s in the car if someone isn’t near/around her she seems to get car sick/have little anxiety. I was just wondering if there is anything, aside from medication, that can help with that? Would it be okay to give her a chew toy-like a kong for the ride? Or would it be better to just get a dog seat belt for the ride and a crate for the hotel?

I found a list of what one should bring for a trip with their dog. Here is the list;
Lists of rest stops and veterinary hospitals
Leash
Dog seat belt or crate / kennel
Water and Bowls
Treats
One or two toys
Blanket and/or dog bed
Bags to pick up waste
Medications, if applicable
Dog’s medical records

–Does anyone know of anything else that isn’t on the list that should be brought with or does that list pretty much cover everything?

Also a question about the hotel;
We will be staying there for three-four days. Most places we will be going to will be dog friendly, but there are some places where the dogs(mine and my mothers) will not be able to be brought with. They will be crated for maybe at the most five hours. But that will only be once, and it might not even be for that long. I was thinking of taking the dogs on an hour long walk before hand-would that be good? Or should I give more exercise before?

If anyone has any other advice for traveling with a dog/staying in a hotel with a dog-it would be appreciated. Thank you

Has anyone used a Breathable Baby Crib Bumper?

I was wondering if anyone has used one of these and what ages your children are. I just put one on my 3 1/2 month old’s crib because he was getting his legs stuck in the crib slats. It says on the package you can keep them in until they are ready to transition into a toddler bed. Thanks for any reviews.

Hey there! Here’s the deal, I was making my bed to night and ran in to a few critters… ewwww. The building that I live in is a renovated old saw mill so there is a brick wall right by my bed. when i moved my bed to make it, I seen a few of them running to the the crevices of the wall. Their not roaches or bed bugs. i doubt I’ll be able to describe them well enough here for some one to figure out what they are but maybe some one can lead me down the right path on how to discover what kinda bug it is actually. or better yet how to get rid of them. My rooms relatively clean and I never ever eat in there. I will however try to describe it and hopefully someone could help. Their gray, have no head or face, about the average size of the mouse pointer on my screen. has antennas has 10 or 12 legs. kinda looks like one of those bugs that can curl up in to a ball but more flat and not at all juicy like a grub. Thanks guys!

My wife and our newborn son live with my grandmother who has mrsa. We all do laundry in the same washer and dryer. All of my grandmothers clothes and the things that cover her legs where the mrsa is at are washed with color safe bleach, and after her laundry is done a full cycle of hot water and bleach is ran by itself. My question is it safe for use to wash, not only our clothes, but our babies clothes in the same washer?

I have mysterious bites on my legs, especially the right one around the knee. The bites are mainly my legs above the knees and some scattered bites onmy abdomen/back. I have no mosquitos and no animals so I doubt it would be fleas, and they do not look like spider bites either. I can’t figure out what’s been chewing on me!

I checked the mattress for bloodstains and bug poop and found none. I washed my linens and got no bites for a day, then started getting them again.

Also, my boyfriend has no bites at all. What could this be? Bedbugs are the only thing that slightly make any sense, but I hope that isn’t what it is.

I have been itching like crazy, big huge welts on my arms, neck, and legs. Last night I found a bug on my chair, looked it up, and found out it is a bedbug. I have 8 children in my home, ranging from 18 months to 12 years old. Is there a safe way to kill the bugs without it affecting my children? I have never dealt with bedbugs before so I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions?
