I was reading a site that said the Target Brand formula is comparable to Similac. Has anyone else tried this? The site was pretty low key, but cool. Just curious.

This was sitting on my steps the other night, and scared me silly - what type of spider is this?

If you are afraid of spiders don't look - this thing was bigger than my hand!

I've been using the regular Similac Advance w/Iron powder (blue can), and that's fine. We were at my MIL and I had to run to the store to get her some formula to eat (I've just weaned her from the breast, so this was traumatic itself). Since I have tons, I just went and got the ready feed 8 oz bottles. When I went to pour it - it was BROWN. Almost like the soy formula use to be. I double checked the packaging, etc. Is this normal? I wasn't comfortable with it, and went and got the powder anyways, but I was curious if there is something about the premixed that makes it brown in color, or should I call and complain?

My mother in law, sister in law, and best friend are planning a baby shower for me...but they are being top secret, I'm only allowed to know the date and that it is co-ed, and if one of them slips something and I mention it to one of the others, I get an attitude about it. If I ask questions I am told not to worry about it, I just have to show up. I find this a bit irritating. I am told that I am just going to need to let go and let them handle it. It's not that I want control of it, I just want to know what is going on, and feel I should be involved. Is this wrong? Would it irritate you?
