Hi Heather,

Congratulations for the website. It's a big hit! I'm having so much fun with it. Now I know why you haven't stoped by to see me anymore: you're probably too busy running around. But whenever you find some time, bring the boys over to see me.

By the way, you look like a HOT mamma in this picture.

Okay, twice in one day my 14 month old son was called a "she".  I think I need to start planning his first haircut.   What is the name of the place that makes a big deal, gives me a lock, takes a picture, etc.?    This is going to be a big day in our house!

Hi,

We love this site! Total Learning Centers was founded by a local mom Dr. Carol Utay — now a proud mom of a college graduate. We want to be able to find out what moms in the Pittsburgh area need and want. As a brain-based learning facility, based in Wexford, we have support groups for parents, and educational remediation and tutoring programs for ages 5 through adult. We’re hoping to find out more about how we can be of service to the local mom population! Let us know.

Thanks!

Hello Ladies! I am brand new to this site. I heard great things about it. I was wondering if anyone knows how to increase milk supply.  I have been only breastfeeding my 4 month old son. Last week I started  to pump to prepare to go back to work. He loves taking the bottle, but it seems like he wants to eat more now. I am feeding him on both breast in am, 6 oz 3 times and 8oz one time at night. Any suggestions on how to up the supply?

What better way to tell you that I'm 20 weeks pregnant than by signing up for an account on your site.  I'm due July 21st!  Can't wait!  Let's do lunch!

Good evening to all.  My name is Russel Huber and I'm a professional swingset installer in the Philly area.  My website is www.swingsetman.com.  I am trying to expand to the Pittsburgh area for installations, but I would like to set up a few days back to back to cut down on the costs I charge to potential customers.  If anyone is interested in having a swingset installed, please feel free to contact me at anytime.  Thank you to all.
