  1. Is it okay for second time expectant momma’s? I have a two year old and I’m 7 months pregnant. Is it appropriate for me as well?

  2. Who can I talk with about food? I have dairy allergy and would like to know whom to speak with to determine what is safe for me to eat.

  3. I wish this was during the day. Why so late? I love taking my son to events but he is usually going to bed at this time. Can you come without your baby?
