That CMV one is scary. Is that something I should ask my doctor to test me for if I get pregnant?
Peanut is only available on iTunes/iPhones right now. No luck to Android moms.
Love the concept, but hate the name. And feel like it won’t succeed until they get the Android version out. I looked in my area and usage is super sparse. When I look at my own groups of friends, less than half have iPhones, so there’s not actually a group where I would send the invite because I don’t want to leave some people out.
Gah! My kids had those Green Spouts cups, because I was trying to be uber safe and avoid plastic! We can’t freaking win! (Nobody has ever had elevated lead levels though, so I guess no harm done in my case at least.)
