 Dear all, I'm posting this on behalf a very good friend
 of mine in Hong Kong. He and his wife, a very nice
 couple, after trying years to get pregnant and have
 gone through numerous fertility programs are now
 looking into the possibility of finding a reliable
 Surrogate Mother Program in the States through some
 reputable agency, program or hospital. If you have
 experiences and knowledge in this area, please share
 with me and email me privately:
 rosetta.cheung at gmail.com Your help is greatly
 appreciated and thank you for reading this post.

 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StrollerSWAP/ is a great
 place to look for used strollers. The subscribers are
 definitely stroller junkies, but there are some good
 deals on rare stroller configurations to be had.

8. C5 Children's School enrolling preschool at a new site
location
--------------------------------------------------------
molly397 - 7/18/2012 11:21 am

 My daughter's preschool has opened a new location is
 enrolling a large number of new families. My 5.5 yo
 daughter has been enrolled at C5 children's school for
 5 years (it starts at age 3 mos and goes to
 kindergarten). It is a full time program, designed for
 families that need full time care. My 10 month old
 twins are not yet enrolled due to twin-logistics, but
 they will probably eventually go there. I know how hard
 it can be to find care for 1, let alone 2, kids -- so
 if anyone is interested in infant care or preschool
 care -- this might be a good option to check out. It
 is located in Civic Center. The original location is in
 the state building (with a preference to state
 employees) and the new, 2nd location is in the City's
 PUC building (with a preference to city employees) -
 but there are many spaces in both centers in addition
 to government employees. It is a high quality licensed
 care facility. It is a Reggio Emilio based program. 
 The teachers are very well trained. The child-teacher
 ratio is on par with other preschools I visited, but
 many other preschools include aids and not "full"
 teachers in the ratio. All of the teachers at C5 are
 equally well qualified. The approach to child
 development, health, nutrition, safety, and resolving
 conflict have been very good. The snack and lunch
 program provided by Chefables is delicious and
 outstanding. They do Music Together as part of the
 school program. My older daughter has thrived there
 for half a decade and will be moving on to Kindergarten
 in a few weeks.I am happy to answer specific questions
 at molly at tirpak.com, 415 225 8259, but please only ask
 questions if you are actually pursuing enrollment
 directly with the center. It would be best to ask your
 basic questions of the center and then I'd be happy to
 talk if you are really considering going there. Most
 information can be found here:
 http://www.c5children.org/ and you can call the center
 directly and ask for Joe Wiseman and he can answer any
 other questions. Some of the web site hasn't been
 updated about the recent addition of the new center,
 but Joe can give you the details. Feel free to tell him
 you learned about the center from me.All the best,Molly
 Sterkel (Agatha, 5.5 years, Ursula & Matilda, 10
 months)

9. Nanny needed
--------------------------------------------------------
pccp22 - 7/18/2012 9:58 am

 Our amazing nanny just gave us notice :( and now we
 need someone new in the next month or so. Our boys are
 2.5 yrs old, and we need someone for about 40-45
 hours/week who can drive and speaks English fluently.
 We live in Bernal area. Any leads out there? Thanks!

10. Car Seat Configuration in a Honda Odyssey
--------------------------------------------------------
sfteach - 7/18/2012 9:41 am

 Hi Wise Moms,We are getting a Honda Odyssey today, and
 I am hoping you can help me decide how to place the car
 seats. We have one convertible carseat for our
 daughter (Britax Marathon), and two infant car seats
 for our twins (due to arrive in a month). Some
 options:-Daughter and one infant in second row w/
 daughter behind driver's seat, and infant next to her
 in the middle. The other infant seat would be in the
 back row closest to curb side door. We would take out
 the second row captain's chair behind passenger
 side.-Have all three kids in middle row.-Put infant
 seats in second row captain's chairs, and daughter in
 third row, middle seat.Ideally, I would like my
 daughter in the second row, so we can talk and I can
 hear her, but not sure if that configuration is best. 
 What works for you?Thanks for reading!

 We have a Nissan van. My son was two years old when my
 twin girls wereborn. I didn't feel comfortable sitting
 far away from the newborns thefirst few months of their
 lives so we configured as follows: 2 year old ina
 forward facing Britax behind the driver's seat. One
 infant behind thepassenger seat and the other infant in
 the back row. That way I could sitin the back row next
 to one of my infants and be very close behind theother
 infant. At about 5 months we switched - my oldest went
 in the middleback row and the twins in the second row.
 My son doesn't mind sitting wayin the back because he
 is in the middle and can see everything while
 bydaughters 19 months now are still rear facing so he
 feels he is privilegedto have his seat this way.On Wed,
