      Quick little bit of info for mommies and mommies to be. As the arrival of our son approaches, my husband and I have been stocking up on all of the essentials and that, of course, includes diapers. After some solid recommendations, we decided to start out with Pampers and Makers Mark (Sams brand). We headed to Sams (after looking in Target) figuring that, since it's Sams, they should have the best deals. Once I looked at those $45.00 price tags I just couldn't do it.

What I have dealt with could be the opposite for you!** 1. Weight Loss!      So, my before pregnancy weight was around 155 lbs. At my first appointment I hadn't gained any weight and by my January appointment I had actually lost 2 pounds. My next appointment
