I have some friends with super smart and advanced toddlers.. and some with kids that are slightly lagging on their development.

What do you believe helped in your child's development?

I've heard no tv, classical music, reading books, and no sugar/healthy diet.

Do you have experience with any of the above or additional tips?

What week in your pregnancy did your belly button pop out? Did you know it happened right away or not until you looked at it?

I've heard anywhere from 3-48 hours, so just curious!

I am 28 weeks pregnant and wondering about Braxton Hicks. My friend told me it feels like menstrual cramps. However, in my research it says to call the doctor if it feels like menstrual cramping.

Any one have experience? What does it feel like and what would be a reason to call the doctor?

Thanks!

Does anyone personally know of someone who were told they were having one gender and it came out another? Like thought it was a girl, but came out a boy?

It has to be someone you personally met and please say why!

Nicest: Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond.

Met him at a casino in Vegas and he talked to us for awhile. We were there for a fitness convention and showed him our before and after pictures and he made a point to tell us that we are beautiful in both pictures and just love ourselves no matter what. He was so sweet.

Rudest: Matthew McConaughey

At a hotel bar in Los Angeles.. he wouldn't talk to anybody and kept his head down. I understand he wanted his space, but you don't go to a hotel with 1500 people from states like Ohio and expect to be left alone. They had a back private room he could have went to!

I know mine is Vanilla Sky.

I waited for the ending to tie up loose ends but left with more questions. It still makes me cringe when I hear the title.
