 Why Sacrifice Fashion for Function when it comes to Baby Diaper Bags?
We have all seen them . . . those overly-baby diaper bags with pink bunnies or blue cars on them that just scream, "I carry dirty diapers in this bag." Fortunately today's diaper bags are much more hip for both mom and dad. They not only have a compartment for every baby item you might want to have handy, but also come in a variety of styles and fabrics to suit your adult needs and style preferences.
This stylish bag only $64
Many retailers are starting to realize that parents would much rather carry their essential baby items in a ergonomic backpack, stylish hobo bag, dual purpose stroller bags or a hip messenger bag in more contemporary fabrics. No one has to know its a diaper bag anymore!
Check out all the new styles of diaper bags that will suit your adult fashion senses no matter what budget you have to spend.

Ovulation Calendar |
Calculate Ovulation with Your Calendar
One low-tech but effective way to get pregnant is to have
sex every other day from the 10th to the 18th day of your
cycle. Start counting by making the first day of your period
Day 1, and days 10-18 should overlap the days when you are
ovulating. On the days when you don’t make love, the sperm’s
five-day lifespan will ensure a fresh supply of viable
sperm.

If your cycles aren’t 28 days long, or if they are very
irregular, the 10-18 day plan may not work, because you may be
ovulating at other times. You can start your pregnancy planning
by marking your calendar each month with the dates of your
periods, then calculate the length of your menstrual cycles. If
they tend to be of similar length but aren’t 28 days long, you
may want to adjust your sex life so that your
sex-every-other-day overlaps the middle of your cycle by 4 days
on either side. So, if your cycle tends to be 32 days in length,
the midpoint will be Day 16, and you will want to start your
lovemaking on day 12 and stop it on day 20. |

It isn’t unusual for pregnancy to take several months, but
people these days are often in a hurry. If you’ve already
started taking folic acid, have made sure you’re in excellent
pre-pregnancy health and are ready to blossom into motherhood,
delays may feel downright unacceptable. Take heart: there are
more scientific ways of getting pregnant:
If you have tried the sex-every-other-day method for three of
four months and haven’t gotten pregnant, you may want to get
more scientific about it. Fertility monitors or ovulation
predictors take the guesswork out of the question, “When am I
fertile?” and help you decide whether to attend that late
meeting or skip it and get home. Measuring the levels of
hormones in your body gives a reading that can tell you when
ovulation is approaching, often giving you 24-36 hours advance
warning. Some kits measure hormone levels by the old
pregnancy-test standard of the “pee stick” (or, more nicely, the
“stick tester”. The women holds the monitor in the urine stream,
and a readout on the stick shows whether or not she is fertile.
These kits are quite reliable and easy to use. They eliminate
guesswork! If you’re the kind of person who follows cookbook
recipes to the letter, you may want to use fertility monitor
kits in planning your pregnancy.
