Monitoring your Newborns Weight Gain | American Pregnancy Association It seems some of the most common questions that parents hear from the moment a new baby arrives is “what does the baby weigh?” and “how is the baby growing?” The weight of a newborn is often used as a marker of general health, so it makes sense that it’s something everyone is watching. But how is a parent to know if their child is gaining weight properly? There are some general guidelines that parents can look at to help keep an eye on their babies’ progress.

The most important thing that parents need to health care providers are looking out for.

Chapter 4-3: Tipi Basics Chapter 4-3: Tipi Basics It has been brought to my attention that within the past few years that the number of Chapters with a Tipi has gone from only a few to almost everyone.

Are streaming services killing music? Listeners are faced with a decision. Should they stream their music on Spotify? Or buy it in stores or on iTunes? Taylor Swift made news recently by pulling her music off Spotify, the world’s biggest streaming music service. Back in July, Swift was plotting her current pop-music takeover with her album, "1989." Even with the chaos of her album launch, she took time out to write an opinion article for the Wall Street Journal. Easy for her to say, some grumbled. Swift's "1989" Sales To get a sense of her success, consider this: In the week before the release of "1989," the top 200 albums on the Billboard chart sold a combined total of 1.53 million copies, barely outpacing "1989." Swift’s upbeat attitude surely comes from her own position, not to mention her sharp focus on achieving sales goals through bonding with her fans on social media like Instagram and Twitter. However, in the Wall Street Journal piece, Swift had important points to make about the business of music. A Thorny Problem
Q & A for 9-26-2013 Question: Jane Cookdale, via the Internet, writes: Do I get my child baptized into a church with which I profoundly disagree? Answer: Dear Jane, I would never ask you to act against what you believe. Original sin died in the writings of Charles Darwin. In 1979, when my church revised its prayer book, it changed the baptismal liturgy dramatically, not enough, I fear, but it was clearly a step in the right direction. In the baptismal prayers for the child or person to be baptized, the new baptismal liturgy has moved in very positive and different directions. That represents a fairly dramatic turn from the baptismal theology of the past and the theology to which you are being exposed and against which you are so rightly reacting. I hope you can find a community of faith that will build your child up rather than tear your child down. ~John Shelby Spong
