My 20-month-old is usually a very good sleeper. But, in the last week, bed-time has become a disaster. She screams when I leave the room, and it takes several rounds of my husband and I comforting her before she'll fall asleep while being rocked. I'm afraid we're reversing the sleep habits we worked so hard to help her achieve. We've created a routine that, so far, seems to work. Until now.
Any other moms out there going through this? Could it be a phase? Separation anxiety?

We will be moving to Morrisville in the next few months and I need Doctors for the whole family, dentists, a vet (and a hairstylist :). If anyone has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.
My biggest concern is having a pediatrician lined up for when we arrive, but I am also considering a family doctor for all of us (haven't decided which way to go yet).
Thanks in advance!

A recent report by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress points out that for the first time in our nation’s history, women are half of all U.S. workers and mothers are the primary breadwinners or co-breadwinners in nearly two-thirds of American families.
The report, A Woman’s Nation Changes Everything, covers issues of the workplace, health care, and raising families, money and the media. It includes essays by women, and men, who are leaders in their fields, and is readable in digestible chunks. Take a look here.
AAUW (formerly known as the American Association of University Women) has developed a set of policy recommendations base on the report. You can read those here.
