Yes. I was about 3 months pregnant.
I wanted to be prepared if something happened to me. It's good I did. I developed hypertension in pregnancy and life insurance would be really expensive now.

I was given a shield by both lactation consultants after both babies in the hospital. Try it!
Both my kids had terrible latches. The shield saved us all. Especially with #2, I really had bad nipple trauma, even with the shield. I wound up needed to pump on that one side and let it heal (this was at 6 weeks, though. Don't start pumping now or you may get an oversupply.) If you are supplementing, though, and wish to continue to BF, you should pump any session you miss.
Does your area have a Le Leche League? The may be able to help you.

He's supposed to put something away before he plays with the next, however that doesn't always happen. I make him help me pick things up every night. I don't like having things on the floor overnight for tripping hazards. Even train tracks I make him pick up. Sometimes he does it all, sometimes he puts away two things, but he has to help, even if he whines.
On Fridays, he is at preschool and I'm at home and I organize things a bit better and vacuum the room.

Am I missing anything? What else do these kiddos do?
Also- anecdotally, my mom had mine pierced when I was two. My left ear ripped through when I was 3. I did it overnight at done point. I'm still scarred from it.

We started using it when he was about 2. We used it through last summer at 4.
Just make sure you don't leave the on the plane! We did and realized it right away. It was already gone. Our new one has our names and phone numbers all over it so ppl can't sell it on Craigslist.
Eta- the strap in the back goes behind the tray table and has never interfered with the person behind. They just have to drop the tray for you and then put it back up. Our kid is pretty tall and it's still never been an issue.
